Answer:

a = 4.9(1 - sinθ - 0.4cosθ)

Explanation:

Really not possible without a complete setup.

I will ASSUME that this an Atwood machine with two masses (m) connected by an ideal rope passing over an ideal pulley. One mass hangs freely and the other is on a slope of angle θ to the horizontal with coefficient of friction μ. Gravity is g

                                     F = ma

mg - mgsinθ - μmgcosθ = (m + m)a

      mg(1 - sinθ - μcosθ) = 2ma

      ½g(1 - sinθ - μcosθ) = a

maximum acceleration is about 2.94 m/s² when θ = 0

acceleration will be zero when θ is greater than about 46.4°

While John is traveling along a straight interstate highway, he notices that the mile marker reads 249 km. John travels until he
erastova [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement can be displayed as a vector, this because it has magnitud and direction. Because of this, we can think John's Resultant Displacement as the join of this two vectors.

The First Vector is from the 249 Km Marker to the 141 Km Marker, which give us a Vector with a Magnitude equals to 108 Km.

The Second Vector goes from 141 Km Marker to the 174 Km Marker, which give us a Vector with a Magnitude equals to 33 Km.

However is important to know the direction for each Vector, we notice that John was traveling on one direction and then he returned. This makes our Vector to have a different direction, and this means difference signs. Difference signs means substraction. So, the Third Vector will be:

Third Vector = 108 Km - 33 Km

Third Vector = 75 Km

The ideas that the universe began at a single point and has been expanding since its formation are the main premises of which of
Basile [38]
The big bang theory describes and claims that the universe has been created through cosmic expansion originating from a single point.

Where it was explained that the nature of now objects in space being in constant space was due to once a high density and high density point produce a scattering or explosion of the cosmic energy . Other theories have also supported this theory originally and first documented by Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître an astronomer and physicist.

You hold a metal block of mass 40 kg above your head at a height of 2 m.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=40\ kg

Height to which it is raised is, h=2\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N. Now,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.

When you step inside a warm ski lodge on a cold day, you find your glasses fog. why does this occur?
marin [14]
Answer: Condensation of moisture in the air onto the glasses.

Explanation:
When you come from a cold environment into a warm ski lodge, the glasses are at a much lower temperature than that of the lodge.
Because the air in the room contains moisture (water vapor), it condenses on a surface whose temperature is lower than the dew point of the room.
