A 6.00-kg box sits on a ramp that is inclined at 37.0° above the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box
forsale [732]
We need to see what forces act on the box:

In the x direction:

Fh-Ff-Gsinα=ma, where Fh is the horizontal force that is pulling the box up the incline, Ff is the force of friction, Gsinα is the horizontal component of the gravitational force, m is mass of the box and a is the acceleration of the box.

In the y direction:

N-Gcosα = 0, where N is the force of the ramp and Gcosα is the vertical component of the gravitational force. 

From N-Gcosα=0 we get: 

N=Gcosα, we will need this for the force of friction.

Now to solve for Fh:

Fh=ma + Ff + Gsinα,

Ff=μN=μGcosα, this is the friction force where μ is the coefficient of friction. We put that into the equation for Fh.
G=mg, where m is the mass of the box and g=9.81 m/s²

Fh=ma + μmgcosα+mgsinα

Now we plug in the numbers and get:

Fh=6*3.6 + 0.3*6*9.81*0.8 + 6*9.81*0.6 = 21.6 + 14.1 + 35.3 = 71 N

The horizontal force for pulling the body up the ramp needs to be Fh=71 N.

3. Learn: Energy is transferred along food chains, however, the amount of available energy decreases from one
Zolol [24]

''Energy is destroyed because animals are higher levels do not need as much energy'' is not the valid reason.

<h3>What is respiration?</h3>

Respiration is the cellular process of releasing energy from food. Some of the energy released is used to produce ATP. 90 percent of energy is lost as heat energy whereas 10 percent energy is transferred to other trophic levels.

So we can conclude that ''Energy is destroyed because animals are higher levels do not need as much energy'' is not the valid reason.

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 5.05 km/s, while that of the longitudinal waves is 8.585 km/s.
sattari [20]

Answer:

d=691.71km

Explanation:

The time lag between the arrival of transverse waves and the arrival of the longitudinal waves is defined as:

t=\frac{d}{v_t}-\frac{d}{v_l}

Here d is the distance at which the earthquake take place and v_t, v_l is the velocity of the transverse waves and longitudinal waves respectively. Solving for d:

t=d(\frac{1}{v_t}-\frac{1}{v_l})\\d=\frac{t}{\frac{1}{v_t}-\frac{1}{v_l}}\\d=\frac{56.4s}{\frac{1}{5.05\frac{km}{s}}-\frac{1}{8.585\frac{km}{s}}}\\d=691.71km
