Answer:

mb = 3.75 kg

Explanation:

System of forces in balance

ΣFx =0  

ΣFy = 0

Forces acting on the box

T₁ : Tension in string 1 ,at angle of 50° with the horizontal on the left

T₂  = 40 N : Tension in string 2, at angle of 75° with the horizontal on the right.

Wb :Weightt of the box (vertical downward)

x-y T₁ and T₂ components

T₁x= T₁cos50°

T₁y= T₁sin50°

T₂x= 30*cos75° = 7.76 N

T₂y= 30*sin75° = 28.98 N

Calculation of the Wb

ΣFx = 0  

T₂x-T₁x = 0

T₂x=T₁x

7.76 = T₁cos50°

T₁ = 7.76 /cos50° = 12.07 N

ΣFy = 0  

T₂y+T₁y-Wb = 0

28.98 + 12.07(cos50°) = Wb

Wb = 36.74 N

Calculation of the mb ( mass of the box)

Wb = mb* g

g: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

mb = Wb/g

mb = 36.74 /9.8

mb = 3.75 kg

Answer:

Stationary

20N

Explanation:

From the graph, we see that the body traveling is on a fixed position. Therefore, it is a stationary body.

The graph given is a position - time curve.

 This curve depict a body changing position with given time.

Since the line of the curve is on a single position, the body is not changing position with the passage of time therefore, it is a stationary object.

B. 20N

From Newton's third law of motion we understand that "action and reaction force are equal but oppositely directed".

 Since the person is exerting a force of 20N on the balance.

So, the reaction force by the balance is 20N upward.

A 0.50 kg toy is attached to the end of a 1.0 m very light string. The toy is whirled in a horizontal circular path on a frictio
xenn [34]

Answer:

The maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

radius of the light string r = 1 m

Tension on the string T = 350 N

We have to find the maximum speed without breaking the string  

For without breaking the string tension must be equal to the centripetal force

So T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

So 350=\frac{0.5\times v^2}{1}

v^2=700

v = 26.475 m /sec

So the maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Which change occurs when an atom undergoes alpha decay?
oee [108]
In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.

This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.

An archer shoots an arrow at a 75.0 m distant target; the bull’s-eye of the target is at same height as the release height of th
jeyben [28]

Answer:

the shooting angle ia 18.4º

Explanation:

For resolution of this exercise we use projectile launch expressions, let's see the scope

      R = Vo² sin (2θ) / g

      sin 2θ = g R / Vo²

      sin 2θ = 9.8 75/35²

      2θ = sin⁻¹ (0.6)

      θ = 18.4º

To know how for the arrow the tree branch we calculate the height of the arrow at this point

       X2 = 75/2 = 37.5 m

We calculate the time to reach this point since the speed is constant on the X axis

       X = Vox t

       t2 = X2 / Vox = X2 / (Vo cosθ)

        t2 = 37.5 / (35 cos 18.4)

        t2 = 1.13 s

With this time we calculate the height at this point

        Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

        Y = 35 sin 18.4   1.13 - ½ 9.8 1,13²

        Y = 6.23 m

With the height of the branch is 3.5 m and the arrow passes to 6.23, it passes over the branch
