The purpose of a rear view mirror in a car is to see behind the car, if there is any car coning or not.

What is the net force on a car if the force of friction is 15 N and the forward force due to the engine is 20 N?

ICE Princess25 [194]

5 newton forward because the force of the engine is greater than the force of friction so that means the car is going forward.
You can think of this: when friction is greater than the force of an object its slowing down but when the force of the car is greater than the force of friction its speeding up.
Hope this helps

A cube is 4.4 cm on a side, with one corner at the origin. Part 1 (a) What is the unit vector pointing from the origin to the di

Sidana [21]

Answer:

(a) $\hat{A} = \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}}$

(b) $\theta = 85.44^{\circ}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Side of the cube, a = 4.4 cm

Coordinates of the diagonally opposite corner, A = <4.4, 4.4, 4.4> cm

Now,

(a) To calculate the unit vector:

$\hat{A} = \frac{\vec{A}}{|A|}$

$\hat{A} = \frac{4.4\hat{i} + 4.4\hat{j} + 4.4\hat{k}}{\sqrt{()4.4}^{2} + (4.4)^{2} + (4.4)^{2}}$

$\hat{A} = \frac{4.4(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})}{4.4\sqrt{3}}$

$\hat{A} = \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}}$

(b) To calculate the angle between the two vectors say A and A' is given by:

$\vec{A}\cdot \vec{A'} = \vec{A}\vec{A'}cos\theta$

$\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{\vec{A}\cdot \vec{A'}}{\vec{A}\vec{A'}})$ (1)

Now,

The coordinates of the diagonally opposite corner, A' is <0, 0, 1> cm

Thus

$\vec{A'} = 0\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} + 1\hat{k} = \hat{k}$

Now,

Using equation (1) :

$\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{(\frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}})\cdot \hat{k}}{|A||A'|})$

$|A||A'| = (\sqrt{4.4^{2} +4.4^{2} + 4.4^{2}})(\sqrt{0^{2} + 0^{2} + 0^{2}}) = 7.261$

Thus

$\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{7.261})$

$\theta = cos^{- 1}(0.07946) = 85.44^{\circ}$

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

When gamma rays pass through the human body, they ionize the tissue. gamma ray ionization can affect healthy cells. When high levels of gamma rays bombard a body, a resulting dangerous ionization of tissue can cause skin cancer.

In some plants, the pistils don’t Form until a few days after the stamens do.How might this keep a plant from self pollinating

KATRIN_1 [288]

For a flower to be pollinated, pollen from an anther (which is located at the top of the stamen) needs to reach a stigma (at the top of the pistle.) Some plants are genetically capable of pollinating themselves if their own pollen reaches their own stigma; some plants are not capable of self pollination under any circumstances.

For plants that can genetically self pollinate, but would prefer not to, they can avoid this by having their pistil and pollen/stamens mature at different times. If the stamens mature first, the pollen will be dispersed by animals or wind or whatever dispersal mechanism it relies on. Then by the time the pistil is ready to be pollinated, there is no pollen left in that flower to land on the stigma.

A box is dropped onto a conveyor belt moving at 3.2 m/s. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the belt is 0.28, ho

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

t = 1.16 s.

Explanation:

Given,

speed of conveyor belt, v = 3.2 m/s

coefficient of friction,f = 0.28

Using newton second law

f = ma

and we also know that frictional force

f = μ N

f = μ m g

equating both the force equation

a = μ g

a = 0.28 x 9.81

a = 2.75 m/s²

Using Kinematic equation

v = u + at

3.2 = 0 + 2.75 x t

t = 1.16 s.

Time taken by the box to move without slipping is 1.16 s.
