Answer:

Angle of incline is 20.2978°

Explanation:

Given that;

Gravitational acceleration on a planet a = 3.4 m/s²

Gravitational acceleration on Earth g = 9.8 m/s²

Angle of incline = ∅

Mass of the stone = m

Force on the stone along the incline will be;

F = mgSin∅

F = ma

The stone has the same acceleration as that of the gravitational acceleration on the planet.

so

ma = mgSin∅

a = gSin∅

Sin∅ = a / g

we substitute

Sin∅ = (3.4 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

Sin∅ = 0.3469

∅ = Sin⁻¹( 0.3469 )

∅ = 20.2978°

Therefore, Angle of incline is 20.2978°

During a high-speed car chase, a gangster's car flies off of a cliff. If it takes 7.15 seconds for the car to reach the ground b
Ksju [112]

Answer:

255.61 m

Explanation:

Use s=ut +\frac{1}{2} at^{2} in downwards direction from the moment of flight till the car hits the bottom.

As the car fly off the cliff the velocity of the car in vertical direction will be zero.

h =\frac{1}{2} 10(7.15)^{2}

h=255.61 m

Why does the number of cooling fins effect the rate of energy transfer from a radiator?
baherus [9]
<span>The number of cooling fins effect increases the rate of energy transfer from a radiator. It is because the cooling fins have an enlarged area allows heat to be transferred into the area away from the object it needs to have less heat with. Thereby cooling the object with cooling fins.</span>
