Answer:

Gravity ( gravity , weight, traction force) is the force acting on any body on or near the surface of the celestial body directed at its center. Gravity, that is, the force with which the earth , moon , planets, and other celestial bodies or their systems act on other bodies, is theoretically exercised at any distance, but is practically examined on the surface of these bodies as well as at short distances.

A helicopter carries a 1000-kg-car suspended from a rope below it. The helicopter flies horizontally at a constant speed of 25 m

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

(a) Tension, T = 28.653 kN

(b) Wind resistance force, $26.925\ kN$

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Speed of the helicopter, v = 25 m/s

Angle made by the rope, $theta = 20^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) To calculate the tension, T in the car:

Tension along the direction of motion, $T_{h} = Tcos20^{\circ}$

Tension along the vertical direction, $T_{v} = Tsin20^{\circ}$

Now, let the force due to the wind directed in the opposite direction of the motion be $F_{W}$ and it balances the horizontal component of the tension, T.

The vertical component is balance by the weight of the car, i.e., mg that acts vertically downwards.

Now,

$T_{v} = mg$

$Tsin20^{\circ} = 1000\times 9.8$

T = 28653 N = 28.653 kN

(b) The force of the wind resistance:

$F_{W} = T_{h}$

$F_{W} = 2cos20^{\circ} = 26925\ N = 26.925\ kN$

If the angle made by the rope with the vertical is $0^{\circ}$ :

$mg = Tsin(90^{\circ} - 0^{\circ})$

$Tsin90^{\circ} = mg = 9800\ N$

The tension in the rope will be equal to the weight the car.

Wind resistance force, $F_{W} = Tcos90^{\circ} = 0\ N$

If the angle made by the rope with the vertical is $90^{\circ}$ :

$mg = Tsin(90^{\circ} - 90^{\circ})$

T = 0 N

Wind resistance force, $F_{W} = Tsin0^{\circ}$

$Tsin0^{\circ} = mg$

$F_{W} = \infty$

There will be no tension in the rope and wind resistance will be infinite.

Express the vector R<br> B<br> in terms of A, B, C, and Ď, the edges of a<br> parallelogram.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

R=0.5B+0.5C+2A+D

Explanation:

By the triangular law of vector addition

vector R= vector B- vector D

As A,B,C,D are edges of the parallelogram,

A is parallel to D but opposite in direction.

Therefore

$A = (-D)$ ; $A//D$ ;

$2A=-2D$

B is parallel to C and in same direction.

$B//C\\B=C\\$

$0.5B=0.5C\\$

$R= B-D;\\R= 0.5B+0.5B-D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C-D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C-2D+D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C+2A+D;$

Sound is a type of _____ wave.

saul85 [17]

Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.
