Two men decide to use their cars to pull a truck stuck in the mud. They attach ropes and one pulls with a force of 615 N at an a

ngle of 31◦with respect to the direction in which the truck is headed, while the other car pulls with a force of 961 N at an angle of 25◦with respect to the same direction. What is the net forward force exerted on the truck in the direction it is headed? Answer in units of N.

Answer:

1398.12 N

Explanation:

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the truck  on and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

x-components  of the ropes forces

T₁x = 615N*cos31°=527.1579 N  :Tension in direction x of the rope of the car 1

T₂x= 961 N*cos25°=870.96 N  :Tension in direction x of the rope of the car 2

Net forward force exerted on the truck in the direction it is headed (Fnx)

Fnx = T₁x  + T₂x

Fnx = 527.1579 N  + 870.96 N

Fnx = 1398.12 N

A light ray travels in the +x direction and strikes a slanted surface with an angle of 62° between its normal and the ty axis. T
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

- 0.6

Explanation:

Given that angle between normal y axis is 62° so angle between  normal

and x axis will be 90- 62 = 28 °. Since incident ray is along x axis , 28 ° will be the angle between incident ray and normal ie it will be angle of incidence

Angle of incidence = 28 °

angle of reflection = 28°

Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = 28 + 28 = 56 °

Angle between x axis and reflected ray = 56 °

x component of reflected ray

= - cos 56 ( it will be towards - ve x axis. )

Does the plane of the ecliptic coincide with the plane of the equator? explain.
melisa1 [442]
<span>no it doesn't. one way to think of it is that the tropic of capricorn is the furthest south the sun's path goes, and the tropic of cancer is the northern most line that the sun traces out. since neither the tropic of capriforn nor the tropic of cancer are on the equator, the sun must be tracing out a different line and hence be on a different plane. also, if the sun was on the same plane as the equator, then we wouldn't have seasons.</span>

An astronomical telescope has an objective of diameter 20 cm with a focal length of 180 cm. the telescope is used with an eyepie
Bingel [31]
By definition;
M = fo/fe

Where,
M = Angular magnification
fo = Focal length of objective lens
fe = Focal length of eyepiece lens

From the information given;
M = 180/30 = 6

The ________ of a neuron contain ________ that house neurotransmitters
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The <u>terminal buttons</u> of a neuron contain <u>synaptic vesicles</u> that house neurotransmitters

Explanation:

<em><u>Some terms explained:</u></em>

Terminal buttons:

The terminal Buttons of a neuron contain vesicles holding the neurotransmitters, they are the small knobs at the end of the neuron that send out information to other neurons. The terminal buttons essentially convert the electrical signals that reaches it into chemical signals.

Neurotransmitters:

Neurotransmitters are produced by the neurons in the axon terminal buttons and stored in the synaptic vesicles. Neurotransmitters are chemicals contained in terminal buttons that relays signals across the synapses between neurons. Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers of the nervous system, they have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on another neuron.

Synaptic vesicles:

Synaptic vesicles are sacs in terminal button, they store neurotransmitters and release them into synaptic space in response to electrical signaling within the cell.
