A 225 kg block is pulled by two horizontal forces. The first force is 178 N at a 41.7-degree angle and the second is 259 N at a

108-degree angle. What is the x and y component of the total force acting on the block?

Answer:

52.9 N, 364.7 N

Explanation:

First of all, we need to resolve both forces along the x- and y- direction. We have:

- Force A (178 N)

A_x = (178 N)(cos 41.7^{\circ})=132.9 N\\A_y = (178 N)(sin 41.7^{\circ})=118.4 N

- Force B (259 N)

B_x = (259 N)(cos 108^{\circ})=-80.0 N\\B_y = (259 N)(sin 108^{\circ})=246.3 N

So the x- and y- component of the total force acting on the block are:

R_x = A_x + B_x = 132.9 N - 80.0 N =52.9 N\\R_y = A_y + B_y = 118.4 N +246.3 N = 364.7 N

The windshield of a car has a total length of arm and blade of 9 ​inches, and rotates back and forth through an angle of 93degre
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7-in wiper blade is 62.49 in²

Explanation:

Given

Length of blade = 9 inches

Angle of rotation = 93°

We're to calculate the area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7​-in wiper​ blade?

We'll solve this by using area of a sector.

Area of a sector = ½r²θ

where θ is in radians.

So, angle of rotation (93°) must first be converted to radians

Converting 93º to radians, we get 31π/60

The area of the region swept out by the wiper blade = (area of the sector where r = 9 and

θ = 31π/60) - (area of the sector where r = (9-7) and θ = 31π/60).

We're making use of 9-7 because that region is outside the boundary of the 7in blade

So Area = ½*9²*31π/60 - ½*2²*31π/60

Area = ½*31π/60(9²-7²)

Area = 31π/120 * (81 - 49)

Area = 31π/120 * 32

Area = 992π/120

Area = 62.49151386765697 in²

Area ≈ 62.49 in²

Hence, the area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7-in wiper blade is 62.49 in²

Why do sound engineers use spongy materials in the walls? (1 point)
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

o to increase the frequency of sound waves. It increases the sound waves to a level of frequency that humans cannot hear so you won't be able to hear many things though the wall other then low noises like pounding.

When light propagates through two adjacent materials that have different optical properties, some interesting phenomena occur at
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

First, the different indices of refraction must be taken into account (in different media): for example, the refractive index of light in a vacuum is 1 (since vacuum = c).  The value of the refractive index of the medium is a measure of its "optical density":  Light spreads at maximum speed in a vacuum but slower in others  transparent media; therefore in all of them n> 1. Examples of typical values ​​of  are those of air (1,0003), water (1.33), glass (1.46 - 1.66) or diamond (2.42).

The refractive index has a maximum value and a minimum value, which we can calculate the minimum value by means of the following explanation:

The limit or minimum angle, α lim, is defined as the angle of refraction from which  the refracted ray disappears and all the light is reflected. As in the maximum value of  angle of refraction, from which everything is reflected, is βmax = 90º, we can  know the limit angle (the minimum angle that we would have to have to know the minimum index of refraction) by Snell's law:

 βmax = 90º ⇒ n 1x sin α (lim) = n 2 ⇒ sin α lim = n 2 / n 1

Explanation:

When a light ray strikes the separation surface between two media  different, the incident beam is divided into three: the most intense penetrates the second  half forming the refracted ray, another is reflected on the surface and the third is  breaks down into numerous weak beams emerging from the point of incidence in  all directions, forming a set of stray light beams.
