Answer:It shows the size of the range of the moisture contents at which the soil remains plastic. In general, the plasticity index depends only on the amount of clay present. It indicates the fineness of the soil and its capacity to change shape without altering its volume.

Jessica has a mass of 55kg she sleds down a hill that has a slope of 32 degrees. what is the component of her weight that is alo
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

W = 285.62 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Jessica is 55 kg

Slope of the hill is 32 degrees

We need to find the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion.

The component along her direction of motion is shown in attached figure. It means

W_y=mg\sin\theta\\\\W_y=55\times 9.8\times \sin(32)\\\\W_y=285.62\ N

So, the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion is 285.62 N.

During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 2.61
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km

The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s

Explanation:

The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":

r  = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration of gravity

When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.

Then:

ry = 0 =  y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²

Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)

t= 0 is discarded as solution

v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.

Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:

Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α  

Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km

A cart is moving to the right with a constant speed of 20 m s . A box of mass 80 kg moves with the cart without slipping. The co
nignag [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of box m=80 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.15

coefficient of Static friction \mu _s=0.30

cart is moving with constant velocity therefore Net Force is zero

Since there is no net acceleration therefore friction force will be zero

mathematically

f_r=ma

where f_r=frictional\ Force

a=acceleration

a=0

f_r=0

SCIENCE PLEASE HELPP!!!!
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A stronger force changes increases velocity more due to increased acceleration on the object if the mass is constant as compared to a weaker force.

Explanation:

Force affects how objects behave in terms of motion, direction, shape etc. When an object is in a state of rest, then force is applied, the object starts to move is a particular direction. Increase in the force applied will make the object to speed up which is to say the velocity will increase.

<u>For example:</u>

When a ball is kicked with a player with a force of 10 N the velocity of the ball is recorded to be 3 m/s. When the player is replaced with a kid the force on the ball is 2 N and its velocity is recorded to be 0.3 m/s.

<u>Reasoning</u>

Increased in force applied on an object increases its acceleration resulting to a higher velocity of the object.

F= m * a --------if  mass is constant , increased force will increase acceleration and speed up the object.
