In the design of a supermarket, there are to be several ramps connecting different parts of the store. Customers will have to pu

sh grocery carts up the ramps, and it is obviously desired this not be too difficult., An engineer has done a survey and found that almost no one complains if the force required is no more than 50 N. Will a slope θ = 5o be too steep, assuming a 30 kg grocery carts (full of groceries)? Assume friction (wheels against ground, wheel on the axles, and so on), can be accounted for by a coefficient μk = 0.10

Answer:No, the slope won't be too steep

Explanation:

Force is an external agency that causes a body to change its position while friction is a force that causes a body to slide over another. This force is called the frictional force (Ff). The force that causes a body to move is the moving force (Fm).

The slope will be too steep if the frictional force is greater than the moving force since the frictional force tends to oppose the moving force.

According to the explanation, we need to get Ff and compare with the moving force along the plane.

If Ff>Fm it means the slope will be too steep but if Ff<Fm, the slope won't be too steep and as such the body can easily be moved along the plane.

Resolving forces acting along the plane we have FmSintheta + Ff = Fm (FmSintheta and Ff are added because they act in the same direction along the plane)

Fm=50N, theta=5°

Imputing this into the formula to get Ff;

50sin5°+Ff =50

Ff= 50-50sin5°

Ff= 50-4.35

Ff= 45.65N

Since Ff<Fm, this means the slope is not too steep and as such the 30kg load can be moved along the plane easily.

Find the slit separation of a double-slit arrangement that will produce interference fringes 0.018 rad apart on a distant screen
inessss [21]

Answer:

1.64 * 10^(-5) m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Angular separation, θ = 0.018 rad

Wavelength, λ = 589 nm = 5.89 * 10^(-7) m

The angular separation when there are 2 slots is given as

θ = λ/2d

where d = separation between slits

d = λ/2θ

d = (589 * 10^(-9))/(2 * 0.018)

d = 1.64 * 10^(-5) m

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for a five seconds along a straight road. If speed obtained by the car is 72 km
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

50 meters

Explanation:

Let's start by converting to m/s. There are 3600 seconds in an hour and 1000 meters in a kilometer, meaning that 72km/h is 20m/s.

v_f=v_o+at

Since the car starts at rest, you can write the following equation:

20=0+a(5) \\\\a=20\div 5=4 m/s^2

Now that you have the acceleration, you can do this:

d=v_o+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Once again, there is no initial velocity:

d=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)(5)^2=2 \cdot 25=50m

Hope this helps!

Suppose the odometer on our car is broken and we want to estimate the distance driven over a 30 second time interval. We take th
Natalija [7]

Let say for every 5 s of time interval the speed will remain constant

so it is given as

v(mi/h)   16    21    23    26    33    30     28

now we have to convert the speed into ft/s as it is given that 1 mi/h = 5280/3600 ft/s

so here we will have

v(ft/s)      23.5    30.8     33.73     38.13     48.4     44     41.1

now for each interval of 5 s we will have to find the distance cover for above interval of time

d = v \times t

d = (23.5 + 30.8 + 33.73 + 38.13 + 48.4 + 44 + 41.1) \times 5

d = 1298.1 ft

so here it will cover 1298.1 ft distance in 30 s interval of time

Answer:

Roles and responsibilities

Explanation:

Definition of safety plan:

"A Safety Plan is a written document that describes the process for identifying the physical and health hazards that could harm workers, <em>procedures to prevent accidents</em>, and steps to take when accidents occur. Written safety plans can be comprehensive, such as an injury and illness prevention program, or they can be specific to a particular activity, hazard, or piece of equipment. The written safety plan is your blueprint for keeping workers safe."

Alternative definition

"What is an OSHA Safety Plan? An OSHA Safety Plan is a written plan that describes the potential hazards in the workplace, <u><em>and the company policies</em></u>, controls, and <u><em>work practices</em></u> used to minimize those hazards."

elements of a safety plan:

Basic Safety Plan Elements

Policy or goals statement

<u><em>List of responsible persons</em></u>

Hazard identification

<em>Hazard controls and safe practices</em>

<em>Emergency and accident response</em>

Employee training and communication

<em>Recordkeeping</em>

I say roles and responsibilities because it makes sense that if it's your responsibility and possibly something that could be dangerous -- hence a safety plan --  you would have to sign it before working. I hope this helps!
