Using a scale of 1 cm to represent 10 N, find the size and

1 answer:

4 0

The size of the resultant is given by using pythagoras:

C^2 = A^2 + B^2

Since the 30N force and the 40N force act perpendicular to one another.

So: C = sqrt[(30)^2 + (40)^2]

C = 50N and, therefore, may be represented using 5cm

Since all we have as reference are the 2 initially given forces, let's use the angle between the resultant force and one of them to determine the resultants direction:

Taking the 40N force as a baseline (you can imagine it being horizontal).

Since the 40N force is a horizontal projection of the 50N resultant force:

40N = 50N*cos(theta) ; where theta is the angle formed between them

Theta is approximately 36,87° and that is the direction of the resultant force taken with the 40N forces direction as reference.

You can also graphically establish this direction by simply drawing the lines in scale on a piece of paper.

Write down an equation describing a sinusoidal traveling wave (in 1-D). Tell us (words and/or equations) what in your equation t

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The standard equation of the sinusoidal wave in one dimension is given by

$y = A Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\left ( vt-x \right )+\phi \right )$

Here, A be the amplitude of the wave

λ be the wavelength of the wave

v be the velocity of the wave

Φ be the phase angle

x be the position of the wave

t be the time

this wave is travelling along positive direction of X axis

The frequency of wave is f which relates with velocity and wavelength as given below

v = f x λ

The relation between the time period and the frequency is

f = 1 / T.

The third floor of a house is 8m above street level. How much work is needed to move a 136kg refrigerator to the third floor?

jonny [76]

m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J

The figure below shows two forces A=15 N and B=5 N acting on an object. What is the

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

18.03 N

Explanation:

From the fiqure below,

Using parallelogram law of vector

R² = 15²+5²-2×5×15cos(180-60)

R² = 225+25-150cos120°

R² = 250-150(-0.5)

R² = 250+75

R² = 325

R = √325

R = 18.03 N

Hence the resultant force of the object is 18.03 N

A bug splats against the windshield of a car traveling at high speeds down a backcountry road. Which statement correctly compare

zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's 2nd law

$F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}$

here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law

$F_{12} = F_{21}$

so we know that

$\frac{\Delta P_{12}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta P_{21}}{\Delta t}$

so we have

$\Delta P_{12} = \Delta P_{21}$

so correct answer will be

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
