ANSWER

T₂ = 10.19N

EXPLANATION

Given:

• The mass of the ball, m = 1.8kg

First, we draw the forces acting on the ball, adding the vertical and horizontal components of each one,

In this position, the ball is at rest, so, by Newton's second law of motion, for each direction we have,

\begin{gathered} T_{1y}-F_g=0_{}_{}_{} \\ T_2-T_{1x}=0 \end{gathered}

The components of the tension of the first string can be found considering that they form a right triangle, where the vector of the tension is the hypotenuse,

\begin{gathered} T_{1y}=T_1\cdot\cos 30\degree \\ T_{1x}=T_1\cdot\sin 30\degree \end{gathered}

We have to find the tension in the horizontal string, T₂, but first, we have to find the tension 1 using the first equation,

T_1\cos 30\degree-m\cdot g=0

Solve for T₁,

T_1=\frac{m\cdot g}{\cos30\degree}=\frac{1.8kg\cdot9.8m/s^2}{\cos 30\degree}\approx20.37N

Now, we use the second equation to find the tension in the horizontal string,

T_2-T_1\sin 30\degree=0

Solve for T₂,

T_2=T_1\sin 30\degree=20.37N\cdot\sin 30\degree\approx10.19N

Hence, the tension in the horizontal string is 10.19N, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Abiotic - sun Biotic- Plants

Water supply, climate, shape of the land, vegetation, soils and availability of natural resources.

Explanation:

Abiotic means non living so the sun is non living. The sun gives us warmth and the ability to survive

Biotic means alive or living- plants are living and give off oxygen and take in carbon to help us live  umm ok

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

  • In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.
  • While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.

The speed of light in air is 3 x 108 m/s. The speed of light in ice is 2.29 x 108 m/s. What is the refractive index from air to
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

η = 1.31

Explanation:

The formula for the refractive index of from air to some other medium is given by the following formula:

\eta = \frac{c}{v}\\

where,

η = refractive index = ?

c = speed of light in air = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = speed of light in ice = 2.29 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, using these values in the equation we get:

\eta = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{2.29\ x\ 10^8\ m/s} \\

<u>η = 1.31</u>

What will occur when the trough of wave A overlaps the trough of wave B?
densk [106]

Constructive interference will occur, which means the waves will combine.

In destructive inference, the waves cancel each other out.

Hope this helps :)
