The tensions in the wires at the given angle of inclination is determined as 434.1 N.

<h3>Tension on the wire</h3>

The tension in the wires is calculated as follows;

T = Wsinθ

where;

  • T is tension in each wire
  • W is weight of the traffic light

T = 2500 x sin(10)

T = 434.1 N

Thus, the tensions in the wires at the given angle of inclination is determined as 434.1 N.

Which of the following is an example of a renewable natural resource?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

c. lumber      

Explanation:

Lumber is considered a renewable natural resource because it is gotten from trees and trees are grow-able. A renewable natural resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly and replaced naturally. Examples of renewable natural resources are solar energy from the sun, water, oxygen, biomass, trees etc. Trees can be harvested and processed into lumber. The harvested trees can be planted again by humans or they can naturally reproduce through seedlings or fruits that drop and germinate on their own. This renewable germinating process of trees makes lumber a renewable natural resource.

Suppose a plane accelerates from rest for 30 s, achieving a takeoff speed of 80 m/s after traveling a distance of 1200 m down th
Margaret [11]

Answer:

300 m

Explanation:

The train accelerate from the rest so u = 0 m/sec

Final speed that is v = 80 m/sec

Time t = 30 sec

The distance traveled by first plane = 1200 m

We know the equation of motion S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2 where s is distance a is acceleration and u is initial velocity

Using this equation for first plane 1200=0\times 30+\frac{1}{2}a30^2

a=2.67\frac{m}{sec^2}

As the acceleration is same for both the plane so a for second plane will be 2.67 \frac{m}{sec^2}

The another equation of motion is v^2=u^2+2as using this equation for second plane 40^2=0+2\times 2.67\times s

s = 300 m
