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.

Two straight wires are in parallel and carry electrical currents in opposite directions with the same magnitude of 2.0A. The dis
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two straight wires

Have current in opposite direction

i1=i2=i=2Amps

Distance between two wires

r=5mm=0.005m

Length of one wire is ∞

Length of second wire is 0.3m

Force between the wire,

The force between two parallel currents I1 and I2, separated by a distance r, has a magnitude per unit length given by

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/l=μoi²/2πr

μo=4π×10^-7 H/m

The force is attractive if the currents are in the same direction, repulsive if they are in opposite directions.

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/0.3=4π×10^-7×2²/2π•0.005

F/0.3=1.6×10^-4

Cross multiply

F=1.6×10^-4×0.3

F=4.8×10^-5N

If an amount of heat Q is needed to increase the temperature of a solid metal sphere of diameter D from 4°C to 7°C, the amount o
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Q = c M ΔT      where c is the heat capacity and M the mass present

Q2 / Q1 = M2 / M1    since the other factors are the same

M = ρ V     where ρ is the density

M = ρ Π (d / 2)^2           where d is the diameter of the sphere

M2 / M1 = (2 D/2)^2 / (D/2)^2 = 4

It will take 4Q heat to heat the second sphere

The earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.

<h3>At what degree the earth tilt?</h3>

This is tilted at 23 degrees from the vertical. The northern hemisphere is in the winter season.

This is the path as the earth revolves around the sun. It takes 1 year to complete this path.

This is the path as the earth rotates around its.

So we can conclude that the earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.

A particle whose speed is 50 m/sec moves along the line from A(2,1) to B (9,25)
WINSTONCH [101]

First, calculate for the distance between the given points A and B by using the equation,

<span>                                                D = sqrt ((x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2)</span>

 

Substitute the known values:

<span>                                                D = sqrt((9 – 2)2 + (25 – 1)2)</span>

<span>                                                D = 25 m</span>

 

I assume the unknown here is the time it would require for the particle to move from point A to B. This can be answered by dividing the calculated distance by the speed given above.

<span>                                                t = (25 m)/ (50 m/s) = 0.5 s</span>

 

<span>Thus, it will take 0.5s for the particle to complete the route. </span>
