The 102N acting on the ropes being pulled by eric and kim have some of that force acting horizontally, and some of it vertically. By visualizing it as a right angled triangle, with the hypotenuse the length of the diagonal force, and each side the length of the horizontal and vertical forces, you can use trigonometry to calculate the length of the vertical force. You are told that it is at an angle of 30 with the vertical rope, therefore you know the length of the hypotenuse, and the angle between it and the vertical force, so using trig: (vertical force=x)
x/102=cos(30)
x=102*cos(30)
x=88.33
Therefore the diagonal ropes give a vertical force of 88.33N, and the centre rope, as it acts vertically, gives a vertical force of all 102N. The total:
88.33*2+102=278.66N

I don't know if this is very clear, I hope its good enough to help. If you don't understand, just ask, and I can answer any questions!!! :)

An object is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 8 m/s, and reaches a greatest height of 15 m before it fal

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The value is $T_t = 2.5659 \ s$

Explanation:

From the we are told that

The initial speed of the object is $u = 8 \ m/s$

The greatest height it reached is $h = 15 \ m$

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gH$

At maximum height v = 0 m/s

$0^2 = 8^2 + 2 * - 9.8 * H$

=> $H = 3.27 \ m$

Here H is the height from the initial height to the maximum height

So the initial height is mathematically represented as

$s = h - H$

=> $s = 15 - 3.27$

=> $s = 11.73 \ m$

Generally the time taken for the object to reach maximum height is mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as follows

$v = u + (-g) t$

At maximum height v = 0 m/s

$0 = 8 - 9.8t$

=> $t = 0.8163 \ s$

Generally the time taken for the object to move from the maximum height to the ground is mathematically using kinematic equation as follows

$h = ut_1 + \frac{1}{2} gt_1^2$

Here the initial velocity is 0 m/s given that its the velocity at maximum height

Also g is positive because we are moving in the direction of gravity

$15 = 0* t + 4.9 t^2$

=> $t_1 = 1.7496$

Generally the total time taken is mathematically represented as

$T_t = t + t_1$

=> $T_t = 0.8163 + 1.7496$

=> $T_t = 2.5659 \ s$

A 1.50-mm-diameter glass sphere has a charge of + 1.60 nC. What speed does an electron need to orbit the sphere 1.60 mm above th

saveliy_v [14]

Answer :

Velocity will be $3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given glass surface has a diameter of 1.5 mm

And charge q = 1.60 nC

Radius of electrons orbit r = height of electron above surface + radius of sphere = $=1.6+\frac{1.5}{2}=2.35mm = 0.00235m$

Force on electron is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}$ , here q is charge on sphere and e is charge on electron

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}=\frac{kqe}{r^2}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.00235^2}=4.172\times 10^{-13}N$
