Given Information:  

Inclined plane length = 8 m

Inclined plane height = 2 m

Weight of ice block = 300 N

Required Information:  

Force required to push ice block = F = ?  

Answer:  

Force required to push ice block =  75 N

Explanation:  

The force required to push this block of ice on a inclined plane is given by

F = Wsinθ

Where W is the weight of the ice block and θ is the angle as shown in the attached image.

Recall from trigonometry ratios,

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

Where opposite is height of the inclined plane and hypotenuse in the length of the inclined plane.

sinθ = 2/8

θ = sin⁻¹(2/8)

θ = 14.48°

F = 300*sin(14.48)

F = 75 N

Therefore, a force of 75 N is required to push this ice block on the given inclined plane.

The strength of the gravitational field of a source mass can be measured by the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

9.79211 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6378000 m

g=G\frac{M}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6378000)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=9.79211\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.79211 m/s²

For any distance above the Earth's surface h

g=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6378000+h)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{3.983324\times 10^{14}}{6378000+h}\ m/s^2

A large crate sits on the floor of a warehouse. Paul and Bob apply constant horizontal forces to the crate. The force applied by
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

W = -510.98J

Explanation:

Force = 43N, 61° SW

Displacement = 12m, 22° NE

Work done is given as:

W = F*d*cosA

where A = angle between force and displacement.

Angle between force and displacement, A = 61 + 90 + 22 = 172°

W = 43 * 12 * cos172

W = -510.98J

The negative sign shows that the work done is in the opposite direction of the force applied to it.

A very long line of charge with charge per unit length +8.00 μC/m is on the x-axis and its midpoint is at x = 0. A second very l
artcher [175]

Answer:

at y=6.29 cm the charge of the two distribution will be equal.

Explanation:

Given:

linear charge density on the x-axis, \lambda_1=8\times 10^{-6}\ C

linear charge density of the other charge distribution, \lambda_2=-6\times 10^{-6}\ C

Since both the linear charges are parallel and aligned by their centers hence we get the symmetric point along the y-axis where the electric fields will be equal.

Let the neural point be at x meters from the x-axis then the distance of that point from the y-axis will be (0.11-x) meters.

<u>we know, the electric field due to linear charge is given as:</u>

E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi.r.\epsilon_0}

where:

\lambda= linear charge density

r = radial distance from the center of wire

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

Therefore,

E_1=E_2

\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi.x.\epsilon_0}=\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi.(0.11-x).\epsilon_0}

\frac{\lambda_1}{x} =\frac{\lambda_2}{0.11-x}

\frac{8\times 10^{-6}}{x} =\frac{6\times 10^{-6}}{0.11-x}

x=0.0629\ m

∴at y=6.29 cm the charge of the two distribution will be equal.

A boat traveled 280 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 7 hours. Trip back took 14 hours. What is the speed of t
avanturin [10]
Assuming 280 miles is the total distance travelled:
Let b = boat speed in still water
Let c = current speed.
For the downstream trip the speed is b + c. In 7 hours at the speed of (b + c) mph the boat travels 140 miles.
7(b + c) = 140 .............(1)
For the upstream trip the speed is b - c. In 14 hours at the speed of (b - c) mph the boat travels 140 miles.
14(b - c) = 140 ............(2)
The left hand sides of equations (1) and (2) are equal. Therefore we can write
7b + 7c = 14b - 14c ...........(3)
Rearranging equation (3) we get
21c = 7b
c = b/3 .......................(4)
The value for c obtained in equation (4) should now be substituted into equation (1) which can then be solved to find the value of b.

Rod A has twice the diameter of rod B, but both are made of iron and have the same initial length. Both rods are now subjected t
Vilka [71]

Answer:

ΔLa/ΔLb = 1

Explanation:

The change in length of a solid is given by the following formula:

ΔL = α L ΔT

where,

ΔL = Change in length

α = coefficient of linear expansion

L = Original Length

ΔT = Change in Temperature

Since, the length and change in temperature for both rods are same. Also, the material of each rod is same, which implies that coefficient of linear expansion for both rods is same. Hence, the ratio of change in length of both rods will be:

<u>ΔLa/ΔLb = 1</u>
