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.

Suppose astronomers discover a type-M star with a very large luminosity. What type of star is it likely to be
lianna [129]

Answer: A red supergiant

Explanation:

Red supergiants are the stars that have a supergiant luminosity which has a class of either K or M spectral type. In terms of volume, they are regarded as the largest stars on Earth even though they are not the most luminous.

Red supergiants are formed when a star collapses after the hydrogen fuel that the star has in its core runs out and

then fusion begins when the outer shells of hydrogen gets hot.

A container of rocks is brought back from the Moon's surface where the acceleration due to gravity is 162 meters per second if t
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

6318 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration due to gravity of the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) =.?

gₘ = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = gₑ /6

Cross multiply

gₑ = 1.62 × 6

gₑ = 9.72 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the weight of the container on the earth as follow:

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) = 9.72 m/s²

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

W = m × gₑ

W = 650 × 9.72

W = 6318 N

Therefore, the weight of the container on earth is 6318 N

What is meta physics and its importance
artcher [175]

Answer:

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the fundamental nature of reality, the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, and possibility.

Explanation:

Just as physics deals with the laws that govern the physical world (such as those of gravity or the properties of waves), metaphysics describes what is beyond physics—the nature and origin of reality itself, the immortal soul, and the existence of a supreme being.
