Using the force table, components of a vector can be found experimentally by suspending masses from 2 orthogonal strings which o

ppose the mass and string representing the vector in question. If 155 g is suspended at 210 degrees, what masses must be suspended at 0 degrees and 90 degrees to balance this force.
I think since they're orthogonal, the could be equal masses to each other. Is this even close to being right? If not, how do I start the process of solving the problem?

Answer: 134.23g at 0° (horizontal) and 77.5g at 90° (vertical).

Explanation:

1) Since the mass of <span>155 g is suspended at 210 degrees, you need to find the components of its weight on the orthogonal coordinate system (0° and 90°).
</span>

<span>2) You do that using the trignometric ratios sine and cosine.
</span>

<span>Weight is mass × g.
</span>
<span>Weight of the object = 155g × g
</span>
<span>Angle, α = 210°
</span>

<span>Horizontal component (0°)
</span>
<span>cosα = horizontal / hypotenuse ⇒ horizontal = hypotenuse × cosα
</span>
⇒ horizontal = 155g × g × cos(210°) = - 134.23g  × g

Vertical component
sinα = vertical / hypotenuse ⇒ vertical = hypotenuse × sinα
⇒ vertical = 155g × g × sin(210°) = -77.5g × g

3) Conclusion:

Therefore, the masses that must be suspended to balance the forces of the 155g mass are 134.23g at 0° (horizontal) and 77.5g at 90° (vertical).

A planet’s gravity is related to which of the following? (Points : 5)
katovenus [111]

-- <span>The gravitational force that you feel when you stand on the surface
of a planet depends on the planet's mass and size.  It has </span><span><span>nothing
to do with the planet's orbit.  (</span>Of course,"size" is also related to the
planet's mass, density, and surface area.)

-- One possible cause of deforestation is the removal of trees without
adequate replanting.

-- According to Hubble’s Law, the farther away a galaxy is, the faster
it is moving away from us

-- Electromagnetic energy can be defined as energy that moves at
the speed of light.  If you conduct experiments to determine whether
the electromagnetic energy is moving in the form of particles or waves,
you find that it behaves as both.</span>

How does sea floor spreading provide an explanation for how continents may move over earths surface?(I know this isn't Physics,
Neporo4naja [7]
Alfred Wegner first proposed the idea that all the seven continents were once one super continent called "Pangea". Everyone considered his idea as a joke until he proved his theory with evidence of matching fossils, matching mountain ranges, and how all the continents fit together like puzzle pieces. Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

Tĩnh lực tĩnh điện [lực cu lông] giữa 2 điện tích điểm q1,q2 biết q1=2.10-9 q2=4.10-9 r=3cm
Anettt [7]
  • q1=2×10^{-9}C
  • q2=4×10^{-9}C
  • Radius=3cm=0.3m

Using coulmb's law

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow F=k\dfrac{q1q2}{r^2}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow F=8.98\dfrac{2\times 10^{-9}\times 4\times 10^{-9}}{(0.3)^2}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow F=8.98\dfrac{8\times 10^{-18}C^2}{0.09m^2}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow F=\dfrac{71.84\times 10^{-18}C^2}{0.09m^2}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow F=798.2\times 10^{18}Nm^2/C^2

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow F=7.9\times 10^{16}Nm^2/C^2
