Well let's see: Centripetal force = (speed²) / (radius of the circle)

So when there's a centripetal force driving an object in a circular path, the square of the object's speed is directly proportional to the force, and the radius of the circle is inversely proportional to the force.

So this means that . . .

-- if the centripetal force increases, then the object can whiz around a smaller circle at the same speed, and

-- if the centripetal force decreases, then the object will move out to a bigger circle at the same speed.

Answer:

4.19 km and 107.35 degrees north of east

Explanation:

So in the end, the truck is (2.6 + 1.4 = 4km) north and 1.25 km west from the warehouse. We can use the Pythagorean formula to calculate the magnitude and direction α of the truck displacement from the warehouse:

$s = \sqrt{s_n^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 1.25^2} = \sqrt{16 + 1.5625} = \sqrt{17.5625} = 4.19$ km

$tan\alpha = \frac{s_n}{s_w} = \frac{4}{1.25} = 3.2$

$\alpha = tan^{-1}3.2 = 1.27 rad \approx 72.65 degrees$ north or west or (180 - 72.65) = 107.35 degrees north of east

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

All of the frictions are the same, but weight always goes straight down so it can only be A or B. Since they are going down a slope, then the normal force must be sloped. A is the only one out of A and B with a sloped normal force, so it has to be A
