You will use the equation for work which is w= F times distance so you will take 40N times 36N which equals 1440N

Answer:

The horizontal component of this force is about 36 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Bruce is is pulling on his lead with a force of 40 N

Angle below horizontal, $\theta=26^{\circ}$

We need to find the horizontal component of this force. The horizontal component of any vector is given by :

$F_x=F\ \cos\theta$

$F_x=40\times \ \cos(26)$

$F_x=35.95\ N$

or

$F_x=36\ N$

So, the horizontal component of this force is about 36 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Ezra (m = 20.0 kg) has a tire swing and wants to swing as high as possible. He thinks that his best option is to run as fast as

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

a) $v=5.6725\,m.s^{-1}$

b) $h= 1.6420\,m$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the body, $M=20\,kg$

mass of the tyre, $m=10\,kg$

length of hanging of tyre, $l=3.5m$

distance run by the body, $d=10m$

acceleration of the body, $a=3.62m.s^{-2}$

(a)

Using the equation of motion :

$v^2=u^2+2a.d$ ..............................(1)

where:

v=final velocity of the body

u=initial velocity of the body

here, since the body starts from rest state:

$u=0m.s^{-1}$

putting the values in eq. (1)

$v^2=0^2+2\times 3.62 \times 10$

$v=8.5088\,m.s^{-1}$

Now, the momentum of the body just before the jump onto the tyre will be:

$p=M.v$

$p=20\times 8.5088$

$p=170.1764\,kg.m.s^{-1}$

Now using the conservation on momentum, the momentum just before climbing on the tyre will be equal to the momentum just after climbing on it.

$(M+m)\times v'=p$

$(20+10)\times v'=170.1764$

$v'=5.6725\,m.s^{-1}$

(b)

Now, from the case of a swinging pendulum we know that the kinetic energy which is maximum at the vertical position of the pendulum gets completely converted into the potential energy at the maximum height.

So,

$\frac{1}{2} (M+m).v'^2=(M+m).g.h$

$\frac{1}{2} (20+10)\times 5.6725^2=(20+10)\times 9.8\times h$

$h\approx 1.6420\,m$

above the normal hanging position.

A student creates a model of a closed ecosystem by filling a glass tank half full with water then adding 10 snails and two small

GenaCL600 [577]

The reason why the snails are dead because the snails lack oxygen for it is a model of closed ecosystem. Another reason to this is that they lack abiotic factors that they need in surviving or as they live for the place that they are living lacks a lot and are not enough for them to last or survive. Lastly, the water could have not been a contributor for them to live for they may not be able to live in a water environment and could only dwell in land.

Consider an alien on a planet with an acceleration of gravity equal to 20 m/sec^2. If the alien's mass is 10 kg, how much does t

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the weight of alien is 200 newtons

Explanation:

The computation of the alien weight is shown below:

Given that

Acceleration = 20m/sec^2

And, the mass is 10 kg

So, the weight of alien is

= 20 × 10

= 200 newtons

hence, the weight of alien is 200 newtons
