Answer:

Explanation:

The form of Newton's 2nd Law that we use for this is:

F - f = ma where F is the Force pulling the mass down the ramp forward, f is the friction trying to keep it from moving forward, m is the mass and a is the acceleration (and our unknown).

We know mass and we can find f, but we don't have F. But we can solve for that by rewriting our main equation to reflect F:

wsin\theta-\mu F_n=ma That's everything we need.

w is weight: 6.0(9.8). Filling in:

6.0(9.8)sin20 - .15(6.0)(9.8) = 6.0a and

2.0 × 10¹ - 8.8 = 6.0a and

11 = 6.0a so

a = 1.8 m/s/s

Why does 30 kg mass at the top of a hill have more potential energy?
iVinArrow [24]
So when it comes to Gravitational Potential Energy the higher an object of mass is the more energy it has as the equation for EPG is = MGH so the M is Mass of the object , the G is the gravitational constant which on earth is roughly 9.8 m/s and the H is the height of the object. So the greater the H value is the more energy you'll have. An example would be using your 30kg mass say at a height of 10 meters would have the EPG of 2940 Joules of energy since EPG= MGH so EPG= (30)(9.8)(10) . Now if the object was at a height of 20 meters the EPG would be greater as EPG=(30)(9.8)(20) which would be 5880 joules of energy

hypnotist covers a distance of 5 kilometre in one hour and Rahul covers the same distance in 2 hour calculate the speed and stat
adell [148]

Answer:

At 5km/hr; Hypnotist travels with a higher speed.

Explanation:

Let hypnotist be H while Raul be R.

Given the following data;

Distance H = 5km

Time H = 1 hour

Distance R = 5km

Time R = 2 hours

To find the their respective speed;

a. For H;

Speed = distance/time

Speed H = 5/1

Speed H = 5km/hr

b. For R;

Speed = distance/time

Speed R = 5/2

Speed R = 2.5 km/hr

Therefore, hypnotist travels with a higher speed.

A motorcyclist drives around a bend with a 20 m radius, with a constant velocity of 3 m/s. The motorcyclist and the motorcycle h
Pavel [41]

Answer:

a=0.45\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a bend, r = 20 m

Velocity of motorcyclist, v = 3 m/s

The combined mass of motorcyclist and the motorcycle is 50 kg

We need to find the motorcyclist’s centripetal acceleration. The formula used to find the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(3)^2}{20}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the motorcyclist is 0.45\ m/s^2.

(1) You must find the point of equilibrium between the two forces,

<span>G * <span><span><span>MT</span><span>ms / </span></span><span>(R−x)^2 </span></span>= G * <span><span><span>ML</span><span>ms / </span></span><span>x^2
MT / (R-x)^2 = ML / x^2

So,

x = R * sqrt(ML * MT) - ML / (MT - ML)
R = is the distance between Earth and Moon.

</span></span></span>The result should be,
x = 3.83 * 10^7m
from the center of the Moon, and 

R - x = 3.46*10^8 m
from the center of the Earth.


(2) As the distance from the center of the Earth is the number we found before,
d = R - x = 3.46*10^8m
The acceleration at this point is
g = G * MT / d^2
g = 3.33*10^-3 m/s^2
