I've got an energy and work problem. the premise of the problem is: a crate with a mass of m is on a ramp that is inclined at an angle of 30° from the horizontal. a force with a magnitude of f directed parallel to the ramp is used to pull the crate with a constant speed up the ramp a distance of d. there are a set of subquestions and i've answered them as best as i can, but i don't think i'm right. could someone give me the answers and me understand why i'm wrong? 1. what is the work done on the crate by the applied force f? --i said cos30 * f * displacement 2. 2. what is the work done on the crate by the gravitational force exerted on the crate by earth? --i said m9.8tan30 3. what is the work done on the crate by the normal force, with a magnitude of fn, exerted on the crate by the ramp? (hint: recall that the normal force is perpendicular to the surface of the ramp.) --i said zero 4. what is the work done on the crate by the frictional force fk? --i don't understand this one 5. what is the total force acting on the crate? --i said f, as in the pre-defined force 'f' 6. what is the work done on the crate by the total force? --i don't understand how this is different from the first one

Use the empirical rule. the mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 70 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 4 miles per hour. estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 66 miles per hour and 74 miles per hour. (assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.)

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
