The distance between two telephone poles is 50 m. A 1 kg bird lands on the telephone wire midway between the poles, and the wire

Answer:

the tension produce by the bird in the wire is 610.3 N.

Explanation:

given information:

mass of the bird, m = 1 kg

distance of two telephone pole, L = 50 m

wire sag, y = 0.2

the tension of the wire can be calculate by the following equation

tan θ = y/(L/2)

         = 0.2/(50/2)

         = 0.2/25

thus

θ = arc tan (0.2/25)

  = 0.46°

according to Newton's first law

ΣF = 0, vertical direction

T sin θ + T sin θ - mg = 0

2 T sin θ = m g

T = mg/2 sinθ

  = 1 x 9.8/(2 sin 0.46)

  = 610.3 N

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 200 g of lead (c = 0.11 kcal/kg ∙ °c) by 10 c°?
Rufina [12.5K]
Heat = mass (m)*specific heat (C)* change in temperature (Δt)

In the current scenario,
mass = 200 g = 0.2 kg
C = 0.11 kCal/kg.°C
Δt = 10 °C

Therefore,
Heat = 0.2*0.11*10 = 0.22 kCal = 0.22*4186 J = 920.92 J

A Ford Taurus driven 12,000 miles a year will use about 650 gal of gasoline compared to a Ford Explorer that would use 850 gal.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

19 800 lbm of carbon dioxide more.

Explanation:

<u>Taurus</u>

Amount of gasoline used in 5 years = 650 ga/year * 5 years = 3250 ga

amount of carbon dioxide released = 19.8 lbm/ga * 3250 ga = 64 350 lbm

<u>Explorer</u>

Amount of gasoline used in 5 years = 850 ga/year * 5 years = 4250 ga

amount of carbon dioxide released = 19.8 lbm/ga * 4250 ga = 84 150 lbm

Extra amount of CO2 released = 84 150 lbm - 64 350 lbm = 19 800 lbm
