Step 1: learn to draw a free-body diagram. Read your school notes or look up a web site on the subject.
Step 2: Denote the angle of the ramp with the horizontal as theta=tan^(-1)(20/30)=33.69 degrees (approx.)
Step 3: denote the mass of the object as m=100 lb-mass.
Step 4: find force due to mass and gravity = -100g = -100 lb-force. (downwards), denoted by the vector F=(0,-100) lb-force.
Step 5: resolve force along incline:
Force parallel to incline = F1 = -100(cos(theta))
=-83.21 lb-force (negative => down the incline)
Step 6: resolve force perpendicular to incline
= F2 = -100(sin(theta)
=-55.47 lb-f (-ve =>into the incline)

By the way, this question is not calculus 3, but more mechanics, or physics. You have a better chance of getting answers if posted under "physics".

Four students are trying to determine what number must replace the question (x^2)^7=x^4*x^8 in order to make it true

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Joe is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$(x^2)^?=x^4 \cdot x^8$

The exponent outside the bracket is a question mark and the students are trying to determine the value of the question mark.

For ease of answering, let y be the unknown number (question mark):

$\implies (x^2)^y=x^4 \cdot x^8$

First, simplify the equation by applying exponent rules to either side of the equation:

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad (a^b)^c=a^{bc}\quad\textsf{to the left side}:$

$\implies (x^2)^y=x^4 \cdot x^8$

$\implies x^{2y}=x^4 \cdot x^8$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad a^b \cdot a^c=a^{b+c} \quad \textsf{to the right side}:$

$\implies x^{2y}=x^4 \cdot x^8$

$\implies x^{2y}=x^{4+8}$

$\implies x^{2y}=x^{12}$

Now, apply the exponent rule:

$x^{f(x)}=x^{g(x)} \implies f(x)=g(x)$

Therefore,

$x^{2y}=x^{12}\implies 2y=12$

Finally, solve for y:

$\implies 2y=12$

$\implies 2y \div 2 = 12 \div 2$

$\implies y=6$

Therefore, <u>Joe is correct</u> as the unknown number is 6.

The area of a square postcard is 25 square inches. How long is each side postcard?

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square the formula is A = bh which with a square is essentially one side squared. We know this because every side of a square is the same. We also know that 5 squared is 25 meaning the answer is 5 inches(You could also use the formula A = bh : A = 5 x 5 : A = 25).

(6 × 10⁷)/(5 × 10⁴)

We could simplify the exponential number of 10 by substracting the exponent number, it could be written as
= 6/5 × 10⁷⁻⁴
= 6/5 × 10³
= 1.2 × 10³
(This is the final answer)
