A cart loaded with bricks has a total mass of 20.4 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope. The rope is inclined at 26.1 ◦

above the horizontal and the cart moves 20.1 m on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between ground and cart is 0.6 . The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the normal force exerted on the cart by the floor? Answer in units of N.

Answer:

Normal force, N = 154.5 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Total mass of the cart, m = 20.4 kg

Angle of inclination, \theta=26.1^{\circ}

Distance moved, d = 20.1 m

The coefficient of kinetic friction between ground and cart is 0.6

The value of acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let N is the normal force exerted on the cart by the floor. It is given by :

N=mg-T\ sin\theta

T\ cos\theta=\mu N

T\ cos\theta=\mu (mg-T\ sin\theta)

T\ cos(26.1)=0.6 (20.4\times 9.8-T\ sin(26.1))

T = 103.23 N

So, the normal force is :

N=20.4\times 9.8-103.23\ sin(26.1)

N = 154.5 N

So, the normal force exerted on the cart by the floor is 154.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the amount of work done when a force of 10N moves a 20kg mass of 8 meters?
Nataly_w [17]

Yo sup??

we should know that

work done=force*displacement

W=F.s

F=10 N

s=8 m

therefore

W=10*8

=80 N

Hope this helps.

Young's Modulus refers to changes in the: a- Volume b- Length c- Body layers
bekas [8.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

Stress is defined as force per unit area and strain is defined as proportional deformation in a material.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight

l = length of wire

A = area of cross section

\Delta l = change in length

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 13 km/s and a frequency of 14 Hz?
Galina-37 [17]
Wavelength = velocity/frequency

wavelength = v/f
v= 13km/s = change this to m/s = 13000m/s
f= 14Hz

wavelength = 13000m/s÷14Hz =928.7 m

When will an object sink in water, according to Archimedes' principle?​
inna [77]

Answer:

If the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object will rise to the surface and float. If the buoyant force is less than the object's weight, the object will sink. If the buoyant force equals the object's weight, the object will remain suspended at that depth.

Explanation:

Not much explaining to do here!
