A10 kg wagon rests on an inclined plane. the plane makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. approximately how large is the force required to keep the wagon from sliding down the plane? a) 10 n b) 49 n c) 85 n d) 98 n

B) 49 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the wagon = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity acting on the wagon = 9.8 m/s²

W = weight of the wagon

weight of the wagon is given as

W = mg

W = (10) (9.8)

W = 98 N

θ = Angle of the incline = 30°

F = Force required to keep the wagon from sliding

Force required to keep the wagon from sliding is same as the component of weight of the wagon parallel to the surface of the incline

F = W Sinθ

F = 98 Sin30

F = 49 N

the five characteristics of adolescence are biological growth and development, and undefined status, increased decision making, increased pressure and the search of self.

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
