Answer: Solar radiation reflects off the lighter colours, away from the car, thus keeping the car cool
Explanation: This is because lighter colors reflect a good amount of radiation while darker colors absorb it. Just like, Antarctica hasn't completely melted because it reflects a lot of the heat that is acting upon it. Or, you notice that you get hotter when you wear a black shirt opposed to a white one.
Hi,
The correct answer is C. five
I hope I helped :)
Answer:
A) B = 24 ft
B) H = 24.08 ft
C) M.A = 12.04
D) P = 13.7 lb
Explanation:
A)
Minimum allowable length of base of ramp can be found as follows:
Slope = H/B
where,
Slope = 1/12
H = Height of Ramp = 2 ft
B = Length of Base of Ramp = ?
Therefore,
1/12 = 2 ft/B
B = 2 ft * 12
<u>B = 24 ft</u>
B)
The length of the slope of ramp can be found by using pythagora's theorem:
L = √H² + B²
where,
H = Perpendicular = height = 2 ft
B = Base = Length of Base of Ramp = 24 ft
L = Hypotenuse = Length of Slope of Ramp = ?
Therefore,
H = √[(2 ft)² + (24 ft)²]
<u>H = 24.08 ft</u>
D)
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is given by the following formula:
M.A = L/H
M.A = 24.08 ft/2 ft
<u>M.A = 12.04</u>
D)
Another general formula for Mechanical Advantage is:
M.A = W/P
where,
W = Ideal Load = 165 lb
P = Ideal Effort Force = ?
Therefore,
12.04 = 165 lb/P
P = 165 lb/12.04
<u>P = 13.7 lb</u>
C) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object so acceleration is used to describe the rate of change. I hope this helps!!
