Your neighbor Paul has rented a truck with a loading ramp. The ramp is tilted upward at 25°, and Paul is pulling a large crate u
Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The ramp is tilted upwards at 25 degrees and Paul is pulling a large crate up the ramp with a rope that angles 10° above the ramp.

Total angle with respect to ramp is 35 degrees.

If Paul pulls with a force of 550 N.

The horizontal component of the force is given by :

F_x=F\ cos\theta

F_x=550\ cos(35)

F_x=450.53\ N

The vertical component of the force is given by :

F_y=F\ sin\theta

F_y=550\ sin(35)

F_y=315.46\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

A .422 kg coffee mug rests on a table top 0.63 m above the floor. What is the potential energy of the mug with respect to the fl
kondaur [170]

Answer:

2.61 J

Explanation:

Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.

Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.

We compute U

U = mgy

= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m

= 2.605 J

≅ 2.61 J

So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J

A light string is wrapped around the edge of the smaller disk, and a 1.50 kg block is suspended from the free end of the string.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: 7.41 m/s

Explanation: By using the law of of energy, kinetic energy of the brick as it falls equals the potential energy before falling.

Kinetic energy = mv²/2, potential energy = mgh

mv²/2 = mgh

v²/2 = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

Where g = 9.8 m/s², h = 2.80m

v = √2×9.8×2.8 = 7.41 m/s
