Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and

began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 12.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? (show work)

Answer:

  117.6°

Explanation:

The vertical component of a force directed at some angle α from the vertical is ...

  F·cos(α)

We want the vertical components of the wolf's force (Fw) and Red's force (Fr) to total zero. So for some angle from vertical α, Red's force will satisfy ...

  Fw·cos(25°) + Fr·cos(α) = 0

  cos(α) = -Fw/Fr·cos(25°) ≈ -(6.4 N)/(12.5 N)·0.906308 ≈ -0.464030

  α ≈ arccos(-0.464030) ≈ 117.6°

Red was pulling at an angle of about 117.6° from the vertical.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's about 27.6° below the horizontal.

A car travels for 5.5 h at an average speed<br> of 75 km/h. How far did it travel?<br> T TE
ANEK [815]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 412.5 \ kilometers }}

Explanation:

Distance is the product of speed and time.

d=s*t

The speed of the car is 75 kilometers per hour. It traveled for 5.5 hours.

s= 75 \ km/hr \\t= 5.5 \ hr

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= 75 \ km/hr * 5.5 \ hr

Multiply. Note that the hours will cancel each other out.

d= 75 km * 5.5 \\d= 412.5 \ km

The car travelled <u>412.5 kilometers.</u>

A mechanic pushes a 3540 kg car from rest to a speed of v, doing 4864 J of work in the process. Find the speed v. Neglect fricti
topjm [15]

Answer:

1.66 m/s

Explanation:

Work or kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

4864=\frac{1}{2} (3540)v^{2}

v = 1.66 m/s

A light ray hits a plane surface at 20 degrees. What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

140°

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that the angle of redlection equals to the angle of incidence.

When light rays hit surface at 20°, they also leave the surface at the same angle

Since the whole surface has 180° then subtracting these two angles from total angle gives the the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

180°-20°-20°=140°

The angle of incidence and reflection are equal hence 140/2=70°

The question needed the angle between the incident and reflected rays which is already calculated as 140°
