Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The tension in the rope occurs due to the amount of the force by which the rope is pulled.

There is zero acceleration in the rope as it is being pulled from opposite ends with equal force.

consider one half of the rope:

F_{net}= T - F_a =0\\ \Rightarrow T = F_a = 400 N

Thus, tension in the rope = 400 N

Newtons 3.law: Action = Reaction

If a body exerts a force on a rope of 400 N the rope exerts a force on the body of 400N also. So the tension in the rope is 400N. See pictures below.

Imagine two fixed charges on the x axis. Charge one is +q and is located to the left of charge two which is equal to -4q. Where
givi [52]

Answer: B)To the left of the charges.

Explanation: between the charges the electric field will not cancel but will be added since electric field lines from both charges point in the same direction. To the right of the charge the -4q will take over as it’s strength overcomes the strength of the +q charge. At this point the magnitude of +q will never reach a magnitude strong enough to cancel the -4q. To the left, it is further away from -4q and is closer to +q and electric field lines point in different direction

Block on inclined plane experience a force due to gravity of 300N straight down. If the slope is inclined at 67.8°to the horizon
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.

Explanation:

Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.

Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:

  • Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
  • Fperpendicular = F*cosα =  300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N

<u><em>The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.</em></u>
