A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward

with a force FS whose direction makes an angle of 30.0° with the ramp (Fig. E4.4). (a) How large a force FS is necessary for the component Fx parallel to the ramp to be 90.0 N?(b) How large will the component Fy perpendicular to the ramp be then?

Answer:

(a)  104 N

(b) 52 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°

F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp

The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.  

The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.

(a)  

Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.  

Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:  

Fx=Fcos30°

Solve for F:  

F= Fx/cos30°  

Substitute for Fx from given data:  

Fx=90 N/cos30°

   =104 N

(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:

     Fy = Fsin 30°

   Substitute for F from part (a):

     Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)  

          = 52 N

An astronaut is floating happily outside her spaceship, which is orbiting the earth at a distance above the earths surface equal
serg [7]

Answer:

The astronaut's weight will be one-forth of her normal weight on earth.

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, we can write the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Earth's surface is given by

g = \dfrac{GM_{e}}{R^{2}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)\\

where 'G' is gravitational constant, 'M_{e}' is Earth's mass and 'R' is Earth's radius.

As shown in the figure, if the astronaut is at a height 'h' from earth's surface and if 'g'' be the value of the acceleration due to gravity at that height, then

g' = \dfrac{G M_{e}}{(R + h)^{2}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)

Taking the ratio of both the equations, and as given h = R.

\dfrac{g'}{g} &=& \dfrac{g' = \dfrac{G M_{e}}{(R + h)^{2}}}{g' = \dfrac{G M_{e}}{(R + h)^{2}}}\\&=& \dfrac{R^{2}}{(R + h)^{2}}\\&=& R^{2}(R + R)^{2}\\&=& \dfrac{1}{4}\\

So,

&& g' = \dfrac{g}{4}\\&or,& mg' = \dfrac{mg}{4}

where 'm' is the mass of the astronaut.

So the weight of the astronaut will be one-forth her normal weight on earth.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we stir the pot of soup by a metal spoon which is a conductor, it conducts the heat and starts heating after some time the temperature of the spoon rises and we are not able to hold the spoon and we get burns.

A car covers 72 kilometers in the first hour of its journey. In the next hour, it covers 90 kilometers. What is the amount of wo
kap26 [50]
The amount of work done can be solved using the formula:

Work = Force x Distance = Change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy can be solved using the formula: KE = (1/2)*m*v^2
So, change in kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(Vf)^2 - (1/2)*m*(Vo)^2

Where:

Vf = final velocity = 90 kph = 25 m/s
Vo = initial velocity = 72 kph = 20 m/s

substituting the given values:

Work = (1/2)*2500*(25^2) - (1/2)*2500*(20^2) = 281250 J, which can also be expressed as 2.8 x 10^5 Joules.

Among the choices, the correct answer is A.

damaskus [11]
P = m * v
v = {3i - 4j} = square root (3^2 + 4^2) = 5
P = 20 * 5
P = 100 kg m/s
