A piling for a high-rise building is pushed by two bulldozers at exactly the same time. One bulldozer exerts a force of 1250 pou

nds in a westerly direction. The other bulldozer pushes the piling with a force of 2650 pounds in a northerly direction. What is the magnitude of the resultant force upon the piling, to the nearest ten pounds? a. 2340 lbs. c. 3900 lbs. b. 2670 lbs. d. 2930 lbs.

Answer:

Option d is correct.

The magnitude of the resultant force upon the piling = 2930 lbs.

Explanation:

Resultant of a group of forces = vector sum of the forces.

Force 1 = (-1250î) lbs

Force 2 = (2650j) lbs

Resultant = (-1250î + 2650j) lbs

The magnitude of the resultant = √[(-1250)² + (2650)²] = 2930 lbs.

Or in visualization method, the two forces presented form a right angled triangle with the resultant of the two forces.

Hence, using Pythagoras theorem,

F₁² + F₂² = R²

(1250)² + (2650)² = R²

R = √[(1250)² + (2650)²] = 2930 lbs.

A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the calculation of distance we do not take into account the direction of movement .So only magnitude of movement is taken care of.

On the other hand , in respect of displacement , we take into account even direction of movement along with magnitude.

Distance covered by flea = 45 - 27 = 18 cm

Displacement by flea = 27 - 45 = - 18 cm

Speed = Distance covered / time

= 18 / 3 = 6 cm / s

Velocity = - 18 / 3 = - 6 cm /s.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2."

Explanation:

The full question has not been provided, so I just copied this into the web and found this answer and explanation on quizlet:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2.

D sin θ = m λ

if the wavelengths are the same, then if the angle is smaller, the slit width must be larger. The top photo shows a pattern that is more closely spaced. That means the angle is smaller. The slit width must be larger."

This answer/explanation should be correct, as we are looking at bright fringes and the formula being used corresponds to the parameters of the question.

Hope this helps!

In a simple RC circuit, at t=0 the switch is closed with the capacitor uncharged. If C=30µF, =50V and R=10k, what is the poten
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Voltage across the capacitor is 30 V and rate of energy across the capacitor is 0.06 W

Explanation:

As we know that the current in the circuit at given instant of time is

i = 2.0 mA

R = 10 k ohm

now we know by ohm's law

V = iR

V = (2 mA)(10 kohm)

V = 20 volts

so voltage across the capacitor + voltage across resistor = V

V_c + 20 = 50

V_c = 30 V

Now we know that

U = \frac{q^2}{2C}

here rate of change in energy of the capacitor is given as

\frac{dU}{dt} = \frac{q}{C} \frac{dq}{dt}

\frac{dU}{dt} = (30)(2 mA)

\frac{dU}{dt} = 0.06 W
