A gentle slope requires less force over a longer distance as compared to steep slope.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage of a slope is equal to the ratio of length of slope and the height. A steep slope has shorter length as compared to a gentle slope for the same height. Therefore, mechanical advantage of a gentle slope is more than that of a steep slope. Hence, a gentle slope requires less force over a long distance than a steep slope.

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2$

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>
