What is an example of how you can use scientific inquiry to solve a real life problem.
Answer:
Drawing the triangle:
H / x = tan 52.2 = 1.29
H / (4.6 - x) = tan 28.8 = .550
H = 1.29 x
H = .55 * 4.6 - .55 x
1.84 x = 2.53 combining equations
x = 1.38
4.6 - 1.38 = 3.22
Total base of triangle = 1.38 + 3.22 = 4.6
H / x = tan 52,2 = 1.29
H = 1.29 * 1.38 = 1.78 height of triangle
Check:
1.78 / 3.22 = tan 28.9
This agrees with the given value of 28.8
Answer:
420000N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the train = 5.6 x 10⁵kg
Acceleration = 0.75m/s²
Unknown:
Resultant force = ?
Solution:
According to newton's second law, force is the product of mass and acceleration;
Force = mass x acceleration
Resultant force that acts on the train is given below;
Force = 5.6 x 10⁵kg x 0.75m/s² = 420000N
This problem involves Newton's universal law of gravitation and the equation to follow would be.
F = GM₁M₂/r²
Given: M₁ = 0.890 Kg; M₂ = 0.890 Kg; F = 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N; G = 6.673 X 10⁻¹¹ N m²/Kg²
Solving for distance r = ?
r = √GM₁M₂/F
r = √(6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ N m₂/Kg²)(0.890 Kg)(0.890 Kg)/ 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N
r = 0.81 m
Explanation:
if the elevator is moving upward with the constant speed the spring scale will read 18 N which is the mass of each of the two blocks attached by separate springs to the scale at opposite ends.
