please mark me brainlist
it is clear
Concept:
We need to apply the formula of work over here. Work = Force × displacement. Work = f cosθ × s
Given:
displacement = 10 km = 10 ×10³ m
Force, f = 5 N
Work done = 25 kJ = 25 ×10³ J
Find:
We need to determine the inclination of the plane to horizontal, θ.
Solution:
When an object is moved over a distance by an external force, at least a portion of that force must be applied in the direction of the displacement. This is known as work in physics.
It is mathematically expressed by the formula, W = Fs where W = work done, F = Force and s = displacement
Cos theta, which is used to define work done, is the angle formed by the force applied and the displacement.
It is mathematically expressed as, W = Fcosθ×s ---- equation 1
We have been given that 5 N force is applied to bring about 25kJ = 25 ×10³ J of work with a displacement of s= 10 km = 10 ×10³m
Therefore, equation 1 becomes, W = Fcosθ×s
25 ×10³ = 5cosθ×10 ×10³
Therefore, 5cosθ = 25/10 = 25/50
Therefore, cosθ = 1/2
θ = cos^-1 (1/2)
θ = 60⁰
Thus, The inclination of the plane to horizontal is 60⁰.
