You want to push a 71-kg box up a 16° ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box is 0.23. With what

magnitude force parallel to the ramp should you push on the box so that it moves up the ramp at a constant speed?

Answer:

<em>345.60N</em>

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force parallel to the ramp that will push the box up the ramp are the frictional force(Ff) and the moving force Fm

Total force = Ff + Fm

Ff = ηR

Ff = ηmgcosθ

Fm = Wsinθ

Fm = mgsinθ

Total force = ηmgcosθ + mgsinθ

Total force = mg(ηcosθ + sinθ)

Given

mass m = 71kg

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s²

angle of inclination θ = 16°

coefficient of friction η = 0.23

Substitute into the formula;

Total force = 71(9.8)(0.23cos16 + sin16)

Total force = 695.8(0.2211+0.2756)

Total force = 695.8(0.4967)

Total force = 345.60N

<em>Hence the magnitude force parallel to the ramp that you should push on the box so that it moves up the ramp at a constant speed is 345.60N</em>

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0

where:

\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of the particle

\Delta V =V_b-V_a is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V

Why does gravity hold objects on earth?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
 
Gravity is an attractive force that works to pull objects together. If 2 objects are close the gravitational pull will be stronger 
Mass and distance determine gravity. The farther two things are away from each other, the weaker the gravitational forces are, the less mass an object has the less gravitational force it exerts

Ground reaction force acting on carter
mezya [45]
We don't know Carter, and we don't know where he is or what
he's doing, so I'm taking a big chance speculating on an answer.

I'm going to say that if Carter is pretty much just standing there,
or, let's say, lying on the ground taking a nap, then the force of
the ground acting on him is precisely exactly equal to his weight.
