The acceleration of the wooden box is 6.17 m/s² towards the west.

<h3 /><h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

To calculate the acceleration of the wooden box can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • F₂-F₁ = ma.................. Equation 1

Where:

  • F₂ = Force on the wooden box acting towards west
  • F₁ = Force on the wooden box acting towards the east
  • m = Mass of the wooden box.
  • a = Acceleration of the wooden box

Make a the subject of the equation

  • a = (F₂-F₁)/m........................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • F₂ = 270.7 N
  • F₁ = 85.7 N
  • m = 30 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • a = (270.7-85.7)/30
  • a = 185/30
  • a = 6.17 m/s² towards the west.

Hence, The acceleration of the wooden box is 6.17 m/s² towards the west.

Your boss wants you to advise him about what shape of wheels to use for his son’s pinewood
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Ring   v² = gh

solid wheel (cylinder)   v² = 4/3 gh

Explanation:

Let's use conservation of energy to find the speed of the wheels at the bottom of the hill.

starting point. Point before starting movement

           Em₀ = mgh

final point. At the bottom of the hill

           Em_f = K = ½ m v² + ½ I w²

energy is conserved

            Emo = Em_f

           mgh = ½ m v² + ½ I w²

angular and linear velocity are related

           v = w r

we substitute

          mgh = ½ m v² + ½ I v² / r²

          mgh = \frac{1}{2} \ ( m+ \frac{I}{r^2} ) \ v^2½ (m + I / r²) v²

          v² = \frac{2mgh}{m+ \frac{I}{r^2} }

the moments of inertia are tabulated

Ring

      I = mr²

         v² = 2 m g h / (m + m)

         v² = gh

solid wheel (cylinder)

      I = ½ m r²

        v² = 2m gh / (m + m / 2)

        v² = 4/3 gh

We can see that due to the difference in the moment of inertia of each body it is different, the solid wheel has more speed when it reaches the lower part of the ramp

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2874.33 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 0.588 - 0.002 = 0.586 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.586\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.586\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2874.33\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2874.33 m/s²

What is the formula for calculating density?
Sophie [7]
<span>Density can be determined by the mass of an object and how much it takes up space (volume). It is represented by the formula D = M/V where D is the density in kg/m^3 or lb/ft^3, M is the mass in kg or lb and V is the volume in m^3 or ft^3. The answer would be A.  For example, you are given the mass of an object of 40.5kg and a volume of 15m^3. Find its density.</span>  

D = M/V
D = (40.5 kg) / (15 m^3)
<span>D = 27/10 or 2.7 kg/m^3 </span>
