Answer:

$v_{x}=24.88m/s$

$v_{y}=2.35m/s$

Explanation:

Knowing that the truck travels up a hill with a 5.4º incline

The horizontal component of the truck's velocity is:

$v_{x}=vcos\beta=(25m/s)cos(5.4)=24.88m/s$

The vertical component of the truck's velocity is:

$v_{y}=vsin\beta=(25m/s)sin(5.4)=2.35m/s$

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure

Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0$

where $R_1,R_2$ are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

the net vertical force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0$

where $m=1300\,\rm kg$ and $g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

Eliminating $R_2$ , we have

$\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)$

$R_1 \bigg(\sin(60^\circ) \cos(110^\circ) - \cos(60^\circ) \sin(110^\circ)\bigg) = -\dfrac{mg}2$

$R_1 \sin(60^\circ - 110^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2$

$-R_1 \sin(50^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2$

$R_1 = \dfrac{mg}{2\sin(50^\circ)} \approx \boxed{8300\,\rm N}$

Solve for $R_2$ .

$\dfrac{mg\cos(110^\circ)}{2\sin(50^\circ)} + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0$

$\dfrac{R_2}2 = -mg\cot(110^\circ)$

$R_2 = -2mg\cot(110^\circ) \approx \boxed{9300\,\rm N}$

At a rock concert, the sound intensity 1.0 m in front of the bank of loudspeakers is 0.10 W/m². A fan is 30 m from the loudspeak

Klio2033 [76]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Area, the power and the proportionality relationships between intensity and distance.

The expression for sound power is,

$P = AI$

Here,

A = Area

I = Intensity

P = Power

At the same time the area can be written as,

$A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Now the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source, then

$I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

The expression for the intensity at different distance is

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}= \frac{r^2_2}{r_1^2}$

Here,

$I_1$ = Intensity at distance 1

$I_2$ = Intensity at distance 2

$r_1$ = Distance 1 from light source

$r_2$ = Distance 2 from the light source

If we rearrange the expression to find the intensity at second position we have,

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})$

If we replace with our values at this equation we have,

$I_2 = (0.10W/m^2)(\frac{1.0m^2}{30.0m^2})$

$I_2 = 1.11*10^{-4} W/m^2$

Now using the equation to find the area we have that

$A = \frac{\pi (8.4*10^{-3}m)^2}{4}$

$A = 5.5*10^{-5}m^2$

Finally with the intensity and the area we can find the sound power, which is

$P = AI$

$P = (5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(1.11*10^{-4}W/m^2)$

$P = 6.1*10^{-9}J/s$

Power is defined as the quantity of Energy per second, then

$E = 6.1*10^{-9}J$
