A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$y = 17.04 ft$

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

$y = 180 ft$

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

$x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft$

now from the equation of parabola we have

$y = k x^2$

$180 = k(650^2)$

$k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}$

now we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2$

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)$

$y = 17.04 ft$

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical massless spring, it is extended 5.0 cm from its unstretched length of 4.0

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$d=0.165m$

Explanation:

Given

$m=0.25kg$ , $x_{1}=5cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.05m$ , $x_{2}=4cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.04m$ , $v=2\frac{rev}{s}$

The tension of the spring is

$F_{k}=K*x_{1}=m*g$

$K=\frac{m*g}{x_{1}}$

$K=\frac{0.25kg*9.8m/s^2}{0.05m}=49N/m$

The force in the spring is equal to centripetal force so

$F_{c}=\frac{m*v^2}{r}$

$v=w*r=2\pi*r$

But Fc is also

Fc=KxΔr

$F_{c}=K*(r-x_{2})$

Replacing

$m*4\pi^2*r=K*(r-x_{2})$

$0.25kg*4\pi^2*r=49*(r-0.04m)$

$r=0.205m$

total distance is

$d=0.205-0.04=0.165m$

Two point charges of equal magnitude q are held a distance d apart. Consider only points on the line passing through both charge

NemiM [27]

let us consider that the two charges are of opposite nature .hence they will constitute a dipole .the separation distance is given as d and magnitude of each charges is q.

the mathematical formula for potential is $V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \frac{q}{d}$

for positive charges the potential is positive and is negative for negative charges.

the formula for electric field is given as- $E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \frac{q}{r^2}$

for positive charges,the line filed is away from it and for negative charges the filed is towards it.

we know that on equitorial line the potential is zero.hence all the points situated on the line passing through centre of the dipole and perpendicular to the dipole length is zero.

here the net electric field due to the dipole can not be zero between the two charges,but we can find the points situated on the axial line but outside of charges where the electric field is zero.

now let the two charges of same nature.let these are positively charged.

here we can not find a point between two charges and on the line joining two charges where the potential is zero.

but at the mid point of the line joining two charges the filed is zero.

A solid cylinder of mass 10 kg is pivoted about a frictionless axis thought the center O. A rope wrapped around the outer radius

taurus [48]

Torque acting dowward = 6 x 0.5 = 3 Nm

Torque acting to the right = 5 x 1 = 5 Nm

5 - 3 = 2 Nm

inertia = 1/2 mr^2

0.5 x 10 x 1^2 = 5 kg-m^2
2/5 = alpha = 0.4 rad /s^2

Hope this helps
