The force of the box’s weight acting perpendicular to the slope can be computed using the formula:

F = wcos(a)

In this equation, F represents the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope,

W denotes the box's total weight,

and A is the angle of the slope.

Thus, substituting values gives: F = (46)cos(25)

Resulting in F = 42 N

Compare the time period of two simple pendulums of length 4m and 16m at a place.
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

The period of the pendulum measuring 16 m is double that of the 4 m pendulum.

Explanation:

Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum with length (L) is defined by:

T=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }

where "g" denotes the local gravitational acceleration.

Since both pendulums are positioned at the same location, the value of "g" will be consistent for both, and when we compare the periods, we find:

T_1=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{g} } \\T_2=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{16}{g} } \\ \\\frac{T_2}{T_1} =\sqrt{\frac{16}{4} } =2

Thus, the duration of the 16 m pendulum is two times that of the 4 m one.

A vector A is added to B=6i-8j. The resultant vector is in the positive x direction and has a magnitude equal to A . What is the
Yuliya22 [3333]

The answer is letter d, 8.3.

 

Here’s a solution for the given problem:

 

We have:

B = 6i - 8j 


Let A be unknown; we'll denote A as = mi + nj 



The resultant A+B lies along the x-axis (which implies A+B = Ki + 0j, where K is yet to be determined,

 

and we also know the magnitude of A+B is equivalent to the magnitude of A,

 

therefore, mag(A+B)=K=sqrt(m^2+n^2), or K^2 = m^2+n^2. 



Using vector addition, A+B becomes (m+6)i + (n-8)j.

 

Since we know A+B = Ki + 0j, we can establish that: 

m + 6 = K 


n - 8 = 0, which gives n=8. 

Thus, K^2=m^2+n^2 means (m+6)^2 = m^2 +8^2 


= m^2 + 12m + 36 = m^2 + 64 


which gives us 12m = 28 


m = 2.33333... 

Consequently, the magnitude of A is sqrt[(2.333...)^2 + 8^2] = 8.3333.

Four wires are made of the same highly resistive material, cut to the same length, and connected in series. Wire 1 has resistanc
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

Explanation:

The four wires are arranged in series: this setup indicates that the same current passes through them, while the total voltage from the battery, V0, equals the combined voltages across each resistor:

V_0=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4

Additionally, the total resistance for this series configuration is

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4

Using Ohm's law, we can determine the voltage V2 across wire 2:

V_2 = R_2 I (1)

Here, I represents the entire current flowing through the circuit, which is calculated as:

I=\frac{V_0}{R_{eq}}=\frac{V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

By substituting into equation (1), we derive V2:

V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}
