 (u) = 20 m/s 
(v) = 0 m/s 
<span> (t) = 4 s 
</span>
<span>0 = 20 + a(4) 

</span><span>4 x a = -20 
</span>
so, the answer is <span>-5 m/s^2. or -5 meter per second</span>

An inclined plane is made out of a short plank of wood. It is used to move a 300N box up onto a tabletop 1m above the floor. Wha
Ronch [10]

Answer:

<em>The purpose of an inclinded plane is to make easier to move objects to a certain height.</em>

The technology behind this is about the Work you need to use to move the object upwards. Basically, when we use an inclined plane, we are splitting the net force, making easier to move. All this means, the force needed to move the objecto up will be lower, due to the inclined plane.

So, if the force needed is lower, then the work is also lower, because the work done is defined as the product between the force applied and the distance traveled.

<em>In addition, if we have a longer inclined plane, that means the force needed is even lower,</em> beacuse the distance is increased, but the Work is the same, because it only depends on the initial and final point.

Therefore, in this case, the work would remain the same and the mechanical advantage would increase. As we said before, the work needed will be the same despite the force decreases, because the distance increases, remaining the work as a constant. And the mechanical advantage increases, because it's easier to move if the inclined plane is longer.

Tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second. If the wavelength of each wave is 45 cm, what is the spee
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, \lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m

Speed of the wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

v=17.5\times 0.45

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

what is a possible unit for the product VI, where V is the potential difference across a resistor and I is the current through t
liq [111]
Recall this equation for a device in a direct current circuit:
P = IV
P is the power dissipated by the device, I is the current through the device, and V is the voltage drop of the device.

If we choose to use the ampere as the unit of current and the volt as the unit of voltage, then the product of the current and the voltage will give the power with watts as the unit.

Chris and Jamie are carrying Wayne on a horizontal stretcher. The uniform stretcher is 2.00 m long and weighs 100 N. Wayne weigh
PIT_PIT [208]

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value is F_j  =  550\ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The length of the stretcher is  d =  2.0 \  m

    The weight of the stretcher is W  =  100 \  N

    The weight for Wayne is  W_w =  800 \ N

     The distance of  center of gravity for Wayne from Chris is c_w = 75 cm  =  0.75 \ m

Generally taking moment about the first end where Chris is

         F_j *  d              => upward moment

Here F_j is the force applied by Jamie

Generally  taking moment about the second end where Jamie is

      W *  ( \frac{d}{2} ) +  W_w * (d - c_w)      => downward moment

Generally at equilibrium , the upward moment is equal to the downward moment

     F_j *  d = W *  ( \frac{d}{2} ) +  W_w * (d - c_w)

=>   F_j *  2  = 100 *  ( \frac{ 2}{2} ) +  800 * (2 - 0.75)

=>    F_j  =  550\ N

An engineer wants to design an oval racetrack such that 3.20 × 10 3 lb racecars can round the exactly 1000 ft radius turns at 10
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The banking angle necessary for the race cars is 34.84°

Explanation:

For normal reaction the expression is:

\\Nsin\theta = \frac{mv^{2} }{R}  =Fc\\tan\theta =\frac{v^{2} }{Rg}  \\\theta =tan^{-1} (\frac{v^{2} }{Rg} )\\\theta =tan^{-1} (\frac{(102*0.447)^{2} }{1000*0.3048*9.8} )=34.84
