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

The ink drops have a mass m = 1.00×10^−11 kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v =
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C

Explanation:

mass, m = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ kg

Velocity, v = 23.0 m/s

Length of plates D₀ = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m

Magnitude of electric field, E = 8.20 × 10⁴ N/C

drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.290 mm = 0.290 × 10⁻³ m

density of the ink drop = 1000 kg/m^3

Now,

Time = \frac{\textup{Distance}}{\textup{Velocity}}

or

Time = \frac{\textup{0.016}}{\textup{23}}

or

Time = 6.9 × 10⁻⁴ s

Now, force due to the electric field, F = q × E

where, q is the charge

Also, Force = Mass × acceleration

q × E = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ × a

or

a = \frac{q\times8.20\times10^4}{1\times10^{-11}}

Now from the Newton's equation of motion

d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

d is the distance

u is the initial speed  

a is the acceleration

t is the time

or

0.290\times10^{-3}=0\times(6.9\times10^{-4})+\frac{1}{2}\times(\frac{q\times8.20\times10^4}{1\times10^{-11}})\times(6.9\times10^{-4})^2

or

q = 9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

Here, "Wavelength is same for both waves" it is the distance between two crests or two consecutive troughs, so, it is constant for both of them, you can easily figure it out.

In short, Your Answer would be "Wavelength"

Hope this helps!

At noon on a clear day, sunlight reaches the earth\'s surface at Madison, Wisconsin, with an average power of approximately 3.00
alexira [117]
Energy of a wave:
E = nhc/λ
3000 = (n x 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸)/(510 x 10⁻⁹)
n = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ photons per second per meter²
2.70 cm² = 2.70/10,000 m²
= 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
Photons per second = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ x 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
= 2.08 x 10¹⁸ photons per second
