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?

Response:

(a) 104 N

(b) 52 N

Clarification:

Provided Information

Incline angle of the ramp: 20°

F forms a 30° angle with the ramp

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

The perpendicular component of F is Fy.

(a)

Consider the +x direction pointing up the slope, and the +y direction perpendicular to the ramp's surface.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, decompose F into its x-component:

Fx=Fcos30°

To find F:

F= Fx/cos30°

Insert the value for Fx based on the given info:

Fx=90 N/cos30°

   =104 N

(b) Calculate the y-component of r using the Pythagorean theorem:

     Fy = Fsin 30°

Substituting for F from part (a):

     Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)  

          = 52 N

Jo, Daniel and Helen are pulling a metal ring. Jo pulls with a force of 100N in one direction and Daniel with a force of 140N in
inna [3103]

Answer:

She exerts a force of 40 N.

Explanation:

The fact that the ring remains stationary indicates that the forces are in equilibrium.

Let’s denote Jo's force as x.

The equation to consider is

140 = x + 100

x = 40

A robot probe drops a camera off the rim of a 239 m high cliff on mars, where the free-fall acceleration is −3.7 m/s2 .
Maru [3345]
<span>a. To determine the velocity at which the camera strikes the ground: v^2 = (v0)^2 + 2ay = 0 + 2ay v = sqrt{ 2ay } v = sqrt{ (2)(3.7 m/s^2)(239 m) } v = 42 m/s The camera impacts the ground with a speed of 42 m/s. b. To calculate the duration it takes for the camera to reach the bottom: y = (1/2) a t^2 t^2 = 2y / a t = sqrt{ 2y / a } t = sqrt{ (2)(239 m) / 3.7 m/s^2 } t = 11.4 seconds
       
The camera descends for 11.4 seconds before hitting the ground.</span>

The fastest animal in the world is the peregrine falcon. It is capable of diving after its prey at an amazing 83.00 meters per s
Maru [3345]
1 meter per second converts to 2.237 miles per hour

therefore, 83 m/sec is equal to 185.666 miles per hour!!...here is the answer!!

Newton's First Law: A body remains in its current state of motion or at rest unless a force acts upon it.

Newton's Second Law: Motion changes are proportional to the applied force and oriented in the same direction.

Newton's Third Law: Every action has a corresponding and opposite reaction.

Tasks that would be challenging to perform in orbit include:

-operating a valve

-navigating on foot

-attempting to take a shower

-remaining still

A window washer on a hanging platform cleans the outside of windows on a skyscraper. The washer hoists the platform up the side
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

The acceleration of the platform is - 1.8 m/s²

Explanation:

The net force on a body causes that body to accelerate in the direction of the resultant force applied.

Setting up the force equilibrium for the configuration:

ma = 800 - mg

100a = 800 - 100×9.8

100a = - 180

100a = - 180

a = - 1.8 m/s²

This indicates that the body is falling downward.
