Answer:

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Using the strap at an angle of 31° above the horizontal, a Grade 12 Physics student, tired from studying, is dragging his 15 kg school bag across the floor at a constant velocity. (a) If the force of tension in the strap is 51 N, what is the normal force.

Check the diagram related to the question in the attachment below for better understanding.

The normal force is the reaction acting perpendicular to the force of tension in the strap and opposite the weight of the bag. They are the forces acting along the vertical.

The normal force N will be the sum of the force of tension acting along the vertical (Ty) and the weight of the bag (W).

Ty = 15sin31°

Ty = 7.73N

W = mass * acceleration due to gravity

W = 15.0*9.8

W = 147N

The normal force is therefore expressed as;

N = Ty + W

N = 7.73 + 147

N = 154.73N

a ball is projected upward at time t = 0.00 s from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik

grin007 [14]

Answer: 17.68 s

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the height of the ball when it hits the ground

$y_{o}=70 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=82m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$t$ is the time when the ball strikes the ground

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find $t$ from (1):

$0=70m+(82m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$ (2)

Rewritting (2):

$-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}+(82m/s)t+70m=0$ (3)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:
