a)The tension in the vertical strand will be 0.00049 N.

b))The tension in the horizontal strand will be 0.001284 N.

c)The ratio of tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand will be  2.62.

<h3>What is tension force?</h3>

The tension force is described as the force transferred through a rope, string, or wire as it is pulled by opposing forces.

Given data;

Mass of spiderweb = 5.00 ✕ 10⁻⁵ kg

The tension in a horizontal strand of a spiderweb, Tₓ

The tension in a  vertical strand of a spiderweb, Tₐ

The angle at which the strand sags, Θ = 10.0°

R is the ratio of  tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand

a)

From the FBD,

The tension  in the vertical strand is equal to the weight of the spider;

Tₐ = W

Tₐ = mg

Tₐ= 5 x 10⁻⁵ kg x 9.8 m / s²

Tₐ= 0.00049 N.

(b)

The super's total vertical forces are zero since it is not moving the value of the tension in the horizontal strand;

Tₓ = mg/( 2sinΘ)

Tₓ = 5 x 10⁻⁵ kg x 9.8 m /s² / ( 2 sin 11° )

Tₓ= 0.001284 N.

c)

R is the tension in the vertical strand divided by the tension in the horizontal strand.

R= Tₐ / Tₓ

R= 0.001284 N / 0.00049 N

R= 2.62

Hence, the tension in a vertical strand of a spiderweb, the tension in a horizontal strand of a spiderweb, and the ratio of tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand will be 0.00049 N, 0.001284 N, and 2.62 respectively.

A particle moves along a straight path through a displacement d = 2.5i + cj while a force F = 8.5i + -8.5j acts on it. The displ
Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is defined as the scalar product of force and distance

W=F•d

Given that

F = 8.5i + -8.5j. +×-=-

F=8.5i-8.5j

d = 2.5i + cj

If the work in the practice is zero, then W=0

therefore,

W=F•ds

0=F•ds

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

Note that

i.i=j.j=k.k=1

i.j=j.i=k.i=i.k=j.k=k.j=0

So applying this

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

0= (8.5×2.5i.i + 8.5×ci.j -8.5×2.5j.i-8.5×cj.j)

0=21.25-8.5c

Therefore,

8.5c=21.25

c=21.25/8.5

c=2.5

According to the article "Nuclear shapes" by Renee Lucas the nucleus's shape is mainly modified by vibrational and rotational features happening within the cell. According to the article if i read correctly "near closed shells spherical shapes prevail, while between closed shells the large number of valence nucleons in orbit with large particle angular momentum leads to nuclei with large deformations leading them to not only maintain its shape but also alloying it to work.

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.767

Explanation:

The work done on the truck by the frictional drag force is given by

W=-Fd

where

F is the magnitude of the frictional force

d = 38.0 m is the maximum displacement allowed for the truck

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is opposite to the motion of the truck

The force of friction can also be written as:

F=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane

m is the mass of the truck

g is the acceleration of gravity

So we can rewrite the work done as

W=-\mu mg d (1)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (2)

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the truck

u = 23.9 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

By combining (1) and (2) we get

-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\mu mg d

And solving for \mu, we find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction able to stop the truck in a distance d:

\mu = \frac{u^2}{2gd}=\frac{23.9^2}{2(9.8)(38.0)}=0.767

20. Using the picture, how many neutrons does lithium have?
Igoryamba

Answer:

No. of Neutrons = 3

Explanation:

The atomic number of Lithium is given as 3 in the symbol while the mass number is given as 5.941 which is approximately equal to 6.

Mass Number = No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons = 6

Atomic Number = Number of Electrons = No. of Protons = 3

Therefore,

Mass Number - Atomic Number = (No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons) - No. of Protons

Mass Number - Atomic Number = No. of Neutrons

No. of Neutrons = 6 - 3

<u>No. of Neutrons = 3 </u>
