Beth, a construction worker, attempts to pull a stake out of the ground by pulling on a rope that is attached to the stake. The

rope makes an angle of 44.2°with the horizontal. If Beth exerts a force of 153.8 N on the rope, what is the magnitude of the upward component of the force acting on the stake? Answer in units of N.

Answer:

Fy=107.2 N

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

For a right triangle :

sinβ = y/h formula (1)

cosβ = x/h formula (2)

x: side adjacent to the β angle

y:  opposite side of the β angle

h: hypotenuse

Known data

h = T = 153.8 N : rope tension

β= 44.2°with the horizontal (x)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) to calculate Ty : vertical component of the rope force.

sin44.2° = Ty/153.8 N

Ty = (153.8 N ) *(sen44.2°)= 107.2 N  directed down

for equilibrium system

Fy= Ty=107.2 N

Fy=107.2 N upward component of the force acting on the stake

The wavelength of light that has a frequency of 1.20 × 1013 s-1 is ________ m.
klio [65]
The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
c=f \lambda
where
f is the frequency
\lambda is the wavelength
c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light.

For the light in our problem, the frequency is f=1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}, so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}}=  2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m

Simplifying fractions<br>30 over 54​
Veronika [31]

Answer:

5/9

Explanation:

First, find a common factor for 30 and 54.

30 and 54 can both be divided by 2.

30 divided by 2 = 15

54 divided by 2 = 27

So, your new fraction is 15/27.

However, don't stop there.

15 and 27 can both be divided by 3 as well.

15 divided by 3 = 5

27 divided by 3 = 9

So, your final answer is 5/9.

I hope this helps! :)

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

  average speed

Explanation:

The directions were different, so the velocities could not be the same.

However, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) was 56/2 = 28 m/s for the first car, and 84/3 = 28 m/s for the second car. These<em> average speeds are the same</em>.
