They give us the cable tension t = 1500 newton. We assume that the mass of the cable is negligible compared to that of the tower.

We have a force t of 1500 Newton. This force has a vertical component on the y axis and a horizontal component on the x axis.

Of these two components of force, we are especially interested in calculating is the magnitude of the vertical component.

If the angle that it forms with the ground is 50 °, then the vertical component of the force is:

Fy = 1500sin (50)

Fy = 1149 N. <1200 N

The wire will not be loose

Which object will have greater acceleration? Why?​
dexar [7]

Answer:

Object D

Explanation:

Use Newton's Second Law to determine the acceleration that each object has.

  • F = ma

The force applied in both cases is 50 N, but the mass for object C and object D is different.

Let's start with object C first:

  • F = ma
  • 50 N = 10 kg · a
  • 50 = 10a
  • 5 = a

The acceleration object C undergoes is 5 m/s².  

Now let's calculate object D next:

  • F = ma
  • 50 N = 2 kg * a
  • 50 = 2a
  • 25 = a

The acceleration object D undergoes is 25 m/s².

Object D has greater acceleration because it has a smaller mass. The object with a smaller mass will accelerate more in order to satisfy Newton's 2nd Law.

A 100 kg bungee jumper leaps from a bridge. The bungee cord has an un-streched equilibrium length of 10 m, and a spring constant
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

11.78meters

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m = 100kg

Length of cord= 10m

Spring constant k= 35N/m

At the greatest vertical distance, the spring potential energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy

That is

Us=Ug

Us= 1/2kx^2

Ug= mgh

1/2kx^2= mgh

0.5*35*10^2= 100*9.81*h

0.5*35*100=981h

1750=981h

h= 1750/981

h= 1.78

Hence the bungee jumper will reach 1.78+10= 11.78meters below the surface of the bridge

a child's toy consists of a piece of plastic attached to a spring. the spring is compressed against the floor a distance of 2.0
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1.7N

Explanation:

Force = kx

Where x = spring compression and

K = spring constant

K =85N/m

x = 2.0cm / 100

= 0.02m

Force = 85 x 0.02

= 1.7N
