Answer:
Explanation:
There are 3 main forces at work here, gravity, normal and friction. The gravity pulls the car straight down and is what keeps the car on the ground. Normal force is straight up from the points where the car is touching, so since the wheels are the only parts of the car touching the street, this is where all the normal force is. Friction force opposes any and all motion, the car wants to slide down the hill and would slide down the hill if there was no friction, so the friction force is in the opposite direction of the cars intended motion.
First, we calculate for the weight of the object by multiplying the given mass by the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s²
Weight = (14 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
Weight = 137.2 N
The component of the weight that is along the surface of the inclined plane is equal to this weight times the sine of the given angle.
Weight = (137.2 N)(sin 52°)
weight = 108.1 N
The answer to this question is A - 25 N
They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.
