A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires. Two of the wires make angles of theta1=60.0 degrees and th

The sketch of the system is: two strings, 1 and 2, are attached to the ceiling and to a third string, 3.The third string holds the bag of cement. 

The free body diagram of the weight with the string 3, drives to the tension T3 = weihgt => T3 = 325 N

The other free body diagram is around the joint of the three strings.

In this case, you can do the horizontal forces equilibrium equation as:

T1* cos(60) - T2*cos(40) = 0

And the vertical forces equilibrium equation:

Ti sin(60) + T2 sin(40) = T3 = 325 N

Then you have two equations with two unknown variables, T1 and T2

0.5 T1 - 0.766 T2 = 0

 0.866 T1 + 0.643T2 = 325

When you solve it you get, T1 = 252.8 N and T2 = 165 N

Answer: T1 = 252.8 N, T2 = 165N, and T3 = 325N

Answer:

a) 16m/s b) 192m

Explanation:

v1=32m/s a=-2m/s^2 t=8s v2=? d=??

a) I will use this equation v2= v1 + a*t

v2= 32m/s + -2m/s^2 * 8s

v2= 32m/s + -16m/s

v2= 16m/s

b) v2^2=v1^2 + 2ad

rearranging

v2^2-v1^2=2ad

v2^2-v1^2/2= a d

v2^2-v1^2/2a=d

16m/s^2 - 32m/s^2/ 2 x-2m/s^2 =d

d=192m

Explain how the meanings of the terms biotic factor and abiotic factor differ ?
Stells [14]
Hi There!

Biotic factors are all the living things in an ecosystem, and abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in an ecosystem. So, they differ because they both mean opposite things.

Hope This Helps :)

Kelly is riding a bicycle, moves with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Ten seconds later, she is moving at 15 m/s. What is her acce
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

her acceleration is 1 m/sec

Explanation:

The following information is given in the question

The initial velocity is 5 m/s

After 10 seconds, she would be moved at 15 m/s

We need to find the acceleration

As we know that

Acceleration = Change in speed ÷ time

Acceleration = (15 - 5) ÷ (10)

= 1 m/sec

Hence, her acceleration is 1 m/sec

The same would be considered
