Use this free body diagram to help you find the magnitude of the force F2 needed to keep this block in static equilibrium. WILL
oksian1 [2.3K]
Static equilibrium means that all forces are equal, so make this easiest you want to break F1 into it's horizontal and vertical components. As there are no other forces acting in the horizontal, we know the horizontal component of F1 is 40N. This allows the vertical component to be found using pythagorus theorem. After finding the vertical and horizontal components, you just have to add the vertical components to find the difference between the up and down.

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

Jimmy is standing 300 feet away from a rocket that is being shot up into the air away from him at an angle of elevation of 70 de
ira [324]

Answer: Vertical height of rocket is 824.24ft

Explanation: see attachment.

Opp/ Adj = Tan 70°

h/ 300 = Tan 70°

h= 300tan 70°

h = 824.24ft

A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 27 ft/s. Its height
Ahat [919]

Answer:

V_{3.01}=-93.2m/s

V_{3.005}=-93.1m/s

V_{3.002}=-93.04m/s

V_{3.001}=-93.02m/s

V_{3}=-93m/s

Explanation:

To calculate average velocity we need the position for both instants t0 and t1.

Now we will proceed to calculate all the positions we need:

Y_{3}=-99m/s

Y_{3.01}=-99.932m/s

Y_{3.005}=-99.4655m/s

Y_{3.002}=-99.18608m/s

Y_{3.001}=-99.09302m/s

Replacing these values into the formula for average velocity:

V_{3-3.01}=\frac{Y_{3.01}-Y_{3}}{3.01-3}=-93.2m/s

V_{3-3.005}=\frac{Y_{3.005}-Y_{3}}{3.005-3}=-93.1m/s

V_{3-3.002}=\frac{Y_{3.002}-Y_{3}}{3.005-3}=-93.04m/s

V_{3-3.001}=\frac{Y_{3.001}-Y_{3}}{3.001-3}=-93.02m/s

To know the actual velocity, we derive the position and we get:

V=27-40t = -93m/s
