Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

  1. On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
  2. On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)

⇒Fa=2.24Fb

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950  

⇒Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950

⇒2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950

⇒Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}

⇒ Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5

⇒Fa=2.24*Fb

      =2.24*345.5

      =773.93

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

The equation below is for potassium oxide.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, and remains conserved. The mass of products must be same as that of the reactants.

Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the equation so as to keep the mass same and thus balanced chemical equations are written.

K exists as atoms and oxygen exist as molecule which consists of 2 atoms. The ratio of number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same and thus the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2.

Which telescope would be better viewing a faint, distant star? Why?
grin007 [14]
Reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes tend to have larger objective (due to the use of mirrors, mirrors are a lot cheaper than lenses) and have the ability to collect more light, while refracting telescopes are limited to objective lenses with smaller diameters due to their structural limitations (chromatic abbreviation, for example). Therefore, reflecting telescopes should be better at viewing faint distant stars

Two neutral metal spheres on wood stands are touching. A negatively charged rod is held directly above the top of the left spher
FrozenT [24]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that metals are able to conduct electricity so, when a negatively charges rod is kept closer to the left sphere then electrons will enter the sphere.

Since, like charges repel each other. Hence, some of the negative changes from the rod will repel the negative charges of left sphere.

As both left and right spheres are touching each other so, the electrons will move towards the right sphere. As a result, there will be too many electrons (negative charge) present on the right sphere and very less electrons present in the left sphere.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement right sphere is negatively charged, another is charged positively, is true.

If the ball shown in the figure lands in 0.5 s, about what height was it thrown from?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 1.22 m

Explanation:

The equation of motion in this situation is:

y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{g}{2}t^{2} (1)

Where:

y=0 is the final height of the ball

y_{o}=h is the initial height of the ball

V_{oy}=V_{o}sin(0\°)=0 is the vertical component of the initial velocity (assuming the ball was thrown vertically and there is no horizontal velocity)

t=0.5 s is the time at which the ball lands

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

So, with these conditions the equation is rewritten as:

h=\frac{g}{2}t^{2} (2)

h=\frac{9.8 m/s^{2}}{2}(0.5 s)^{2} (3)

Finally:

h=1.22 m
