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

A satellite is in a circular orbit 21000 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of
mina [271]

Answer:

(orbital speed of the satellite) V₀ = 3.818 km

Time (t) = 4.5 × 10⁴s

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10⁶ m;    &

the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s

We can calculate the orbital speed of the satellite by using the formula:

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

radius of the orbit (r) = 21000 km + 6.37 × 10⁶ m

                                  = (2.1 × 10⁷ + 6.37 × 10⁶) m

                                  = 27370000

                                  = 2.737 × 10⁷m

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(2.737 × 10⁷  × 0.532655 )

                              = 3818.215

                              = 3.818 × 10³

                             = 3.818 Km

To find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth; we use the formula:

Time (t) = 2 π × \frac{r}{V_o}

            = 2 × 3.14 × \frac{2.737*10^7}{3.818*10^3}

            = 45019.28

            = 4.5 × 10 ⁴ s

What travels faster than anything anything else in the universe?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The announcement he had made promised to overturn our understanding of the Universe. If the data gathered by 160 scientists working on the project were correct, the unthinkable had been observed. Particles – in this case, neutrinos – had travelled faster than light.

A circular loop with radius r is rotating with constant angular velocity ω in a uniform electric field with magnitude E. The axi
inn [45]

Answer:

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t

Explanation:

The electric flux is defined as the multiple of electric field and the area that the electric field passes through, such that

\Phi_{E} = \vec{E}\vec{A}

When calculating the electric flux, the angle between the directions of electric field and the area becomes important, especially if the angle is changing with time.

The above formula can be rewritten as follows

\Phi_{E} = EA\cos(\theta)

where θ is the angle between the electric field and the area of the loop. Note that, the direction of the area of the loop is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.

If the loop is rotating with constant angular velocity ω, then the angle can be written as follows

\theta = \omega t

At t = 0, cos(0) = 1 and the electric flux through the loop is at its maximum value.

Therefore the electric flux can be written as a function of time

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t
