A 6.0 kg mass is placed on a 20º incline which has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. What is the acceleration of the mass down
1 answer:
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:
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

Answer:
The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
Explanation:
The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.
g ∝ T
where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.
Then,
The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.
Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours
g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.
⇒28×5= g₂×4
⇒ g₂×4=28×5
gallons
The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
