Answer:

39 miles

Explanation:

we will make your house to be the central point in the four cardinal points.

Please follow the diagram on the attachment to get the movement clearly.

First, you move to a dry cleaners 12miles east of your house, and then to a grocery store 15miles west of your house.

This means you must have moved back to your house before going to the grocery which is 15miles west of your house.

so to and fro from your house to dry cleaners = 12*2 = 24 miles.

Then the total distance you cover will be = 24 +15 = 39 miles

A cheetah starts from rest and accelerates after a gazelle at a rate of 6.5 meters per second2for 3.0 seconds. Calculate the che
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

the speed of the cheetah at the end of the 3 seconds is: 19.5 m/s

Explanation:

Let's use the equation that relates speed with acceleration:

vf = vi + a * t

where vf stands for final velocity, vi stands for initial velocity, a for acceleration, and t for the time acceleration is applied. Then, in our case we have:

vf = 0 + 6.5 (3)

vf = 19.5 m/s

a block has a volume of 0.9m3 and a density of 4,000kg/m3. whats the force of gravity acting on the block in water?(A)3,528N(B)8
Rina8888 [55]
There is a correct answer to this question, and then there is the one they want you to choose.  Which one should I give you first ?

Let's start with the correct answer:

The force of gravity on any object is

           (mass of the object)
times
           (acceleration of gravity on the planet where the object is) .

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s²,
so the force of gravity on this object is

                      (4000 kg/m³) x (0.9 m³) x (9.8 m/s²)

                 =      (3,600 kg)  x  (9.8 m/s²)

                 =          35,280 kg-m/s²    =    35,280 Newtons.

That's the force of gravity attracting this block and the Earth
toward each other.  It makes no difference whether the block
is in your bedroom closet, in the back yard under a pile of mulch,
inside a steel safe resting on a bed of styrofoam peanuts and
slivered almonds, or underwater in the neighbor's pool. 
That's the force of gravity on this block, and it's the correct answer
to the question.

It's not one of the choices, though.  That's because the question
is poorly written.  The person who wrote the question is unclear on
the concepts, and the more you work with the question, the more
unclear and confused YOU'LL become.

When the block is in water, the force of gravity on it doesn't change.
BUT ... there's ANOTHER force on it ... the buoyant force ... acting
upward on it, and canceling part of the force of gravity.

The buoyant force is the weight of the displaced water. 
The displaced water is the water that has to get out of the way
when you drop the block in, so the volume of displaced water
is the volume of the block.

-- The volume of the block is  (0.9 m³).

-- The density of water is   1000 kg/m³, so the mass of 0.9 m³ of water
is 900 kg.

-- The weight of 900 kg of water is  (mass) x (gravity)

                                                   =  (900 kg)  x  (9.8 m/s²)

                                                   =      8,820 Newtons.

When the block is in water, it feels like it's that much LIGHTER,
because that's the force of the water pushing UP on the block.
It's the same reason why your big brother seems so light in the
pool that you can pick him up and carry him. 

So how heavy does this block FEEL in water ?

The force of gravity pulling down on it:         35,280 newtons
The force of water pushing up on it:                8,820 newtons
How heavy the block feels (the difference)  26,460 newtons

The question is written so poorly that even THIS number
is not one of the choices.

Again, the thing to realize is that  being in the water does NOT
change the force of gravity on anything.  It only creates another
force, that acts against gravity.

Just like . . . When you walk up some stairs, how does it happen
that you suddenly move upward, opposite to gravity.  Does the force
of gravity acting on you change ?  No !  But you use your leg muscles
to create another force in the opposite direction, that works against
gravity, and makes you seem so light that you can actually move up,
opposite to gravity.

A child is sliding a toy block (with mass = m) down a ramp. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the ramp is
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

F=mg(sin(\theta )-0.25 cos(\theta ))

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the block on the slide is shown in the below figure

Since the block is in equilibrium we apply equations of statics to compute the necessary unknown forces

N is the reaction force between the block and the slide

For equilibrium along x-axis we have

\sum F_{x}=0\\\\mgsin(\theta )-\mu N-F=0\\\therefore F=mgsin(\theta)-\mu N......(\alpha )\\Similarly\\\sum F_{y}=0\\\\N-mgcos(\theta )=0\\\therefore N=mgcos(\theta ).......(\beta )\\\\

Using value of N from equation β in α we get value of force as

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

Applying values we get

F=mg(sin(\theta )-0.25 cos(\theta ))
