The stability of the slope to vehicles moving on it is high, thus the builder can use materials that improves or maintains the given stability of the slope so that vehicles won't skid on the slope.

<h3>Stability of the slope</h3>

The stability of the slopes comes with the availability of the static frictional forces.

Ff/F = 0.73

where;

  • Ff is the frictional force
  • F is the driving force

The stability of the slope to vehicles moving on it is high, thus the builder can use materials that improves or maintains the given stability of the slope so that vehicles won't skid on the slope.

The slope's stability to vehicles traveling on it is high, thus the builder can employ materials that strengthen or preserve the slope's provided stability so that cars do not slide on the slope.

<h3 /><h3>What is the friction force?</h3>

It is a type of opposition force acting on the surface of the body that tries to oppose the motion of the body. its unit is Newton (N). Mathematically it is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction and normal reaction.

On resolving the given force and acceleration in the different components and balancing the equation gets.Components in the x-direction.

The given data in the problem is

the ratio of resisting forces to driving forces is 0.73

f is the resisting force

F is the driving force

\rm \frac{f}{F} = 0.73

The slope's stability to vehicles traveling on it is high.

Hence the builder can employ materials that strengthen or preserve the slope's provided stability so that cars do not slide on the slope.

A fly has a mass of 1 gram at rest. how fast would it have to be traveling to have the mass of a large suv, which is about 3000
Zigmanuir [339]

We solve this using special relativity. Special relativity actually places the relativistic mass to be the rest mass factored by a constant "gamma". The gamma is equal to 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2). <span>

We want a ratio of 3000000 to 1, or 3 million to 1. 

</span>

<span>Therefore:
3E6 = 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2) 
1 - (v/c)^2 = (0.000000333)^2 
0.99999999999999 = (v/c)^2 
0.99999999999999 = v/c 
<span>v= 99.999999999999% of the speed of light ~ speed of light
<span>v = 3 x 10^8 m/s</span></span></span>

A block and tackle of six pulley is used to raise a load of 300N steadily through a height of 30m, if the workdone against frict
Igoryamba

Answer:

work accomplished = 300*30

= 9,000 J

applied work = 9,000 + 2,000 = 11,000 Joules

efficiency = 100 * work accomplished/work applied

= (9/11)100 = 81.8 %

force applied = (300/6)/.818

= 61.1 N

assuming that the 6 in your question refers to mechanical advantage

What net external force is exerted on a 1100-kg artillery shell fired from a battleship if the shell is accelerated at 2.40×104
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Force exerted, F = 2.64 × 10⁷ Newton

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the artillery shell, m = 1100 kg

It is accelerated at, a=2.4\times 10^4\ m/s^2

We need to find the magnitude of force exerted on the ship by the artillery shell. It can be determined using Newton's second law of motion :

F = ma

F=1100\ kg\times 2.4\times 10^4\ m/s^2

F = 26400000 Newton

or

F = 2.64 × 10⁷ Newton

So, the force exerted on the ship by the artillery shell is 2.64 × 10⁷ Newton.

Suppose you wanted to start a fire using sunlight and a mirror. Which of the following statements is most accurate? A) It would
Maru [420]
<h2>Answer: B) It would be best to use a concave mirror, with the object to be ignited positioned halfway between the mirror and its center of curvature. </h2>

Explanation:

To start a fire it is more optimal to use a concave mirror than a plane mirror. This is because the concave mirror allows concentrating sunlight at a point (the focal point) on an object that acts as fuel and ignite the fire there.

For this it is necessary the object to be  positioned between the center of curvature of the mirror and the mirror (its focus). Thus the rays of the Sun, when converging on the focus, will heat the object and make it burn.

Hence, the correct option is B.
