The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
F=12 N
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
T \cos \alpha -F=0
T \sin \alpha -W=
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
\tan \alpha =  \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04
From which we find
\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N

A hot iron ball of mass 200 g is cooled to a temperature of 22°C. 6.9 kJ of heat is lost to the surroundings during the process.
qaws [65]
Heat lost or gained, H = mc(θ₂ - θ₁) 
Where m = mass, c = Specific heat capacity, θ₂= final temperature, θ₁ = initial temperature

m = 200g, c = 0.444 J/g°C, θ₁ = 22 °C  (Since it was cooled).

H = 6.9 kj = 6.9 *1000J = 6900 J

6900 = 200*0.444* (θ₂ - 22)

6900/(200*0.444)  =  θ₂ - 22

77.70 = θ₂ - 22

θ₂ - 22 = 77.7

θ₂      =  77.7 + 22 = 99.7

So initial temperature before cooling ≈ 100°C .  Option C.

A volleyball player bumps a ball across a net with the velocity and angle shown below. What is the maximum height of the ball?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

D. 12.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of the ball, u = 18 m/s

The angle at which the ball is projected, θ = 60°

The maximum height of the ball is given by the formula

                             h = u² sin²θ/2g  m

Where,

                           g - acceleration due to gravity. (9.8 m/s)

Substituting the values in the above equation

                            h = 18² · sin²60 / 2 x 9.8

                               = 18² x 0.75 / 2 x 9.8

                               = 12.4 m

Hence, the maximum height of the ball attained, h = 12.4 m
