When the cart moves on an incline at constant speed, it is in equilibrium; i.e., the net force on it is zero. Does it require mo

Answer:

It requires more tension to pull up the track

Explanation:

Net force must be zero to maintain constant velocity.

Weight force will always be pointed down the slope. Call it W

Friction force (Call it Ff) will be down slope when movement is up slope.

Friction force will be up slope when movement is down slope.

W and Ff are always positive numbers

Call the pulling force T

If Up slope is considered the positive direction

Moving up slope

Tu - Ff - W = 0

Tu = Ff + W

Moving down slope

Td + W - Ff = 0

Td = Ff - W

Ff + W > Ff - W therefore Tu > Td

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

What is the direction of a vector with an x component of -12 m and a y component of -15 m?
dusya [7]

Answer:

51.34^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

x component of a vector = -12 m

The y component of a vector = -15 m

We need to find the direction of a vector. The direction of a vector is given by :

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}

Put all the values,

\tan\theta=\dfrac{-15}{-12}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{-15}{-12})\\\\\theta=51.34^{\circ}

So, the direction of vector is 51.34^{\circ} to x component.
