A 331 N stoplight is hanging in equilibrium from cables as shown. The tension in the right cable is 550 N, and it makes an angle

of 12 degrees with the horizontal. What is the force of tension exerted by the cable on the left side? 114 N 217 N 538 N 580 N

Let
F=tension of cable on the left
x=angle of left cable makes with the horizontal

Resolve forces vertically (y-direction)
331=550sin(12)+Fsin(x) =>
Fsin(x)=331-550sin(12)=216.649..........(1)

Resolve forces horizontally (x-direction)
Fcos(x)=550cos(12) =>
Fcos(x)=537.981............................(2)

Divide (1) by (2)
tan(x)=Fsin(x)/Fcos(x)=0.40271
x=atan(0.40271) = 21.935 °

From (2),
F=537.981/cos(x)=537.981/0.92761 = 579.965 N

Check:
Fsin(x)+550sin(12)=579.965*sin(21.935)+550*sin(12) = 331.000  ok
Fcos(x)=537.981
550sin(12)=537.981   ok

Viewed through a spectroscope, the spectral profile of a yellow street lamp has a narrow line in the yellow region of the visibl
muminat

Answer:

discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC source

Explanation:

Bulbs can emit light in several ways:

* When the emission is carried out by the heating of its filament, the bulb is called incandescent, in general its spectrum is similar to that of a black body, this is a continuous spectrum with a maximum dependent on the fourth power of the temperature of the filament.

* The emission can be by atomic transitions, in this case there is a discrete spectrum formed by the spectral lines of the material that forms the gas of the lamp, in general for the yellow emission the most used materials are mercury and sodium or a mixture of they.

Consequently, as discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC type

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 70.0 kg) and Rebecca (mass 45.0 kg), are practicing. Daniel stops to tie his shoelace and, while a
wel

Answer:

a) v=7.32m/s

b) \alpha =-35º

c) ΔK=-1094.62J

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the collision between Daniel and Rebecca is elastic which means they do not stick together

So, If we analyze the collision we got

p_{1x}=p_{2x}

To simplify the problem, lets name D for Daniel and R for Rebecca

a) p_{D1x}+p_{R1x}=p_{D2x}+p_{R2x}

Since Daniel's initial velocity is 0

m_{R}v_{Rx}=m_{D}v_{D2x}+m_{R}v_{R2x}

v_{D2x}=\frac{m_{R}*v_{R1x}-m_{R}*v_{R2x}}{m_{D}}

v_{D2x}=\frac{(45kg)(14m/s)-(45kg)(8cos(55.1)m/s)}{(70kg)}=6m/s

Now, lets analyze the movement in the vertical direction

p_{1y}=p_{2y}

Since p_{1y}=0

0=m_{D}v_{D2y}+m_{R}v_{R2y}

v_{D2y}=-\frac{m_{R}v_{2Ry}}{m_{D}}=-\frac{(45kg)(8sin(55.1)m/s)}{(70kg)}=-4.21m/s

Now, we can find the magnitude of Daniel's velocity after de collision

v_{D}=\sqrt{(6m/s)^2+(-4.21m/s)^2}=7.32m/s

b) To know whats the direction of Daniel's velocity we need to solve the arctan of the angle

\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-4.21}{6})=-35º

c) The change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK=K_{2}-K_{1}

ΔK=\frac{1}{2}[(45kg)(8m/s)^2+(70kg)(7.32m/s)^2-(45kg)(14m/s)^2]=-1094.62J

That means that the kinetic energy decreases

You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.
trapecia [35]

Answer

given,

diameter of planet = 1.8 x 10⁷ m

radius of planet = 0.9 x 10⁷ m

time period = 22.3 hours

the planet orbits 2.2 x 10¹¹ m   period of 402 earth days.

acceleration= 12.2 m/s²

we know

g = \dfrac{GM_{p}}{r^2}

M_{p} = \dfrac{gr^2}{G}

M_{p} = \dfrac{12.2 \times (0.9 \times 10^7)^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}

M_p = 1.48 x 10²⁵  Kg

b) Formula to calculate the mass of star

M_{s} = \dfrac{4\pi^2}{GT_s^2}(R^3)

M_{s} = \dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times (402 \times 86400)^2}((2.2 \times 10^{11})^3)

M_s = 5.22 x 10³³ Kg
