Answer:

The tension is  T =  103.96N

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the question is shown on the first uploaded image From the question we are told that

           The distance between the two poles is D =14 m

          The mass tied between the two cloth line is  m = 3Kg

         The distance it sags is d_s = 1m

The objective of this solution is to obtain the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the  clothesline

Now the sum of the forces on the y-axis is zero assuming  that the whole system is at equilibrium

       And this can be mathematically represented as

                             \sum F_y = 0

 To obtain \theta we apply SOHCAHTOH Rule

 So    Tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}

          \theta = tan^{-1} [\frac{opp}{adj} ]

            = tan^{-1} [\frac{1}{7}]

          =8.130^o

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2T sin\theta -mg =0

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{mg}{2 sin\theta}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = \frac{3 * 9.8 }{2 sin \theta }

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T =\frac{29.4}{2sin(8.130)}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T = 103.96N

Answer:

T = 104N

Explanation:

We are to calculate the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline and to solve this, we need to draw a free body diagram to make it clearer.

Thus, i have attached the free body diagram.

Now, from the diagram, the angle made by the rope with the pole is given as α.

Now, we see that the rope sags by 1m. Since the weight is at midpoint, the point from the centre to the pole is 14/2 = 7m

Thus,using formula for finding angles in a right angle triangle, we have;

Tan α = opposite/adjacent = 1/7 =0.1429

Thus, α = tan^(-1)0.1429 = 8.133°

Now, to find the tension on the ends of the cloth line, we have to resolve the forces vertically.

Thus, still using the formula for finding angles in a right angle triangle, we have;

T sinα + T sinα = mg

i.e sum of upward forces = sum of dowward forces.

Thus,

2T(sin 8.133°) = 3 x 9.81

T(2 x 0.1415) = 29.43

T = 29.43/0.283 = 104 N

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The change in momentum of both objects is the same but in opposite direction.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The momentum of the system is calculated as the sum of the momentums of each glider. The momentum of the system is conserved if no external force is acting on the objects (as in this case). That means that the initial momentum of the system is equal to the final momentum of the system.

The momentum of each glider is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum.

m = mass of the glider.

v = velocity.

The momentum of the system for glider A and B can be calculated as follows:

initial momentum = mA · vA + mB · vB

Where:

mA and vA = mass and velocity of glider A

mB and vB = mass and velocity of glider B

Initially, glider B is at rest so that vB = 0. Then, the initial momentum of the system is:

initial momentum = mA · vA

The final momentum of the system is calculated as follows:

final momentum = mA · vA´ + mB · vB´

Where vA´ and vB´ are the final velocities of glider A and B respectively.

We know that mB = 4mA and that vA´ is negative. The the final momentum will be:

final momentum = -mA · vA´ + 4mA · vB´

Since initial momentum = final momentum:

mA · vA = -mA · vA´ + 4mA · vB´

mA · vA + mA · vA´ = 4mA · vB´

<u>vA + vA´ = 4 vB´</u>

<u />

The change in momentum of glider A (ΔpA) is calculated as follows:

ΔpA = final momentum - initial momentum

ΔpA =  -mA · vA´ - mA · vA = -mA (vA + vA´) = -4mA · vB´

The change in momentum of glider B (ΔpB) is calculated as follows:

ΔpB = final momentum - initial momentum

ΔpB = 4mA · vB´ - 0 = 4mA · vB´

Then, the change in momentum of both objects is the same but in opposite direction. That´s why the momentum is conserved.

Answer:

Conduction heat transfer is the transfer of <em>heat by means of molecular excitement within a material without bulk motion</em> of the matter. 

Explanation:

Conduction heat transfer in gases and liquids is due to the collisions and diffusion of the molecules during heir random motion.

At sunset, red light travels horizontally through the doorway in the western wall of your beach cabin, and you observe the light
Nady [450]

Answer:

9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m

Explanation:

For light passing through a single slit, the position of the nth-minimum from the central bright fringe in the diffraction pattern is given by

y=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

In this problem, we have

\lambda=700 nm = 7.00\cdot 10^{-7}m is the wavelength of the red light

D = 14 m is the distance of the screen from the doorway

d = 1.0 m is the width of the doorway

Substituting n=1 into the equation, we find the distance between the central bright fringe and the first-order dark fringe (the first minimum):

y=\frac{(1)(7.00\cdot 10^{-7} m)(14 m)}{1.0 m}=9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m

What is work done aganist gravity?​
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Work done against gravity in lifting an object becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.
