By analyzing the vector, the clothesline tension is 25 N.

We need to know about vectors to solve this problem. Force is included in vectors that have magnitude and direction. It can be written as

F = (Fx i + Fy j) N

where F is the force vector, Fx is the x-axis component and Fy is the y-axis component.

From the question we know that :

x = 10 m

(midpoint = 5m)

y = 1 m

m = 1 kg

Find the weight

W = m . g

W = 1 x 10

W = 10N

There are two y-axis components of the tension that hold the clothes. Because of static conditions, we can write

∑Fy = 0

Ty + Ty - W = 0

2Ty - 10 = 0

2Tsinθ - 10 = 0

Find sinθ

sinθ = y/x

sinθ = 1/5

Substitute the sinθ

2Tsinθ - 10 = 0

2T(1/5) - 10 = 0

2T/5 = 10

T = 25 N

Hence, the clothesline tension is 25 N.

Calculate the power provided by a 12 volt car battery with a rating of 350 amperes.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Option D

4200 W

Explanation:

Power, P is also given as the product of voltage and current, expressed as P=VI

Here, P is power, V is voltage in the xircuit and I is current theough voltage.

Taking 12 V for voltage across and 350A for current across circuit then power will be

P=350*12=4200 W

Therefore, option D is correct.

A 5.00 g object moving to the right at 20.0 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 10.0 g object that is initially at re
marusya05 [52]

Answer: a) 6.67cm/s b) 1/2

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the momentum of the bodies after collision. Since the second body was initially at rest this means the initial velocity of the body is "zero".

Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies

u1 and u2 be their velocities respectively

m1 = 5.0g m2 = 10.0g u1 = 20.0cm/s u2 = 0cm/s

Since momentum = mass × velocity

The conservation of momentum of the body will be

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

Note that the body will move with a common velocity (v) after collision which will serve as the velocity of each object after collision.

5(20) + 10(0) = (5+10)v

100 + 0 = 15v

v = 100/15

v = 6.67cm/s

Therefore the velocity of each object after the collision is 6.67cm/s

b) kinectic energy of the 10.0g object will be 1/2MV²

= 1/2×10×6.67²

= 222.44Joules

kinectic energy of the 5.0g object will be 1/2MV²

= 1/2×5×6.67²

= 222.44Joules

= 111.22Joules

Fraction of the initial kinetic transferred to the 10g object will be

111.22/222.44

= 1/2

timofeeve [1]
Perpendicular acceleration:
F = ma
a = 4 / 2 = 2 m/s²

Perpendicular distance:

s = ut + 1/2 at²
s = 0 x 4 + 1/2 x 2 x 4²
s = 16 m

Horizontal distance:
s = ut
= 3 x 4
= 12 m

Total distance = √(12² + 16²)
= 20 m.

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Atoms are composed of electrons (charge -1), protons (charge +1), and neutrons (no charge). So in a neutral atom the correct answer is "D".

Use the law of universal gravitation to describe the relationship between you and your desk
tangare [24]
The law of gravitation states that things closer to the core of gravitation, have a larger force pulling down on them. In relation of you to your desk, you and the desk are both drawn downwards towards the center of gravity.
