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 rocket is fired at a 45° angle, what is the direction of the horizontal velocity vector at the peak height?
Bess [88]

Answer:

B: Horizontally to the left

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity is always constant throughout the entire trajectory of the rocket and acts in the horizontal direction in which the rocket was launched. This is because gravity only acts in the downwards vertical direction.

So in order words at peak height, horizontal velocity is in the horizontal direction in which the rocket was launched.

So if it was to the left, then direction is left but if right, then direction is right.

Looking at the options, the most appropriate will be:

Horizontally to the left

Which of the following statements are true of thermal energy and kinetic energy?
Irina-Kira [14]
This question is asking you to determine if individual atoms or systems, or both have these types of energy. A system would be "all the molecules or atoms" whereas an individual atom is "each of the molecules or atoms."

Answers: 

A. All the molecules or atoms in motion have kinetic energy.

B. Each molecule or atom in motion has kinetic energy.

D. All the molecules or atoms in motion have thermal energy.

The only incorrect answer is C because individual atoms don't have thermal energy, only when they interact with other atoms. Still, atoms do have kinetic energy, which has the potential to turn into heat energy in these interactions.

Hope this helps!

Scientists are constantly exploring the universe, looking for new planets that support life similar to the life on
Molodets [167]
The answer would be “B” because humans would need water, protection from radiation so we don’t melt or burn to death lol, and a gaseous atmosphere because we would need oxygen.
