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.

Scientists are making plans to put a probe in orbit around Earth. They want the probe to enter the orbit shown below.
iris [78.8K]

An arrow which shows the direction that the probe should be moving in order for it to enter the orbit is X.

<h3>What is an orbit?</h3>

An orbit can be defined as the curved path through which a astronomical (celestial) object such as planet Earth, in space move around a Moon, Sun, planet or star.

In this scenario, if the scientists want the probe to enter the orbit they should ensure that probe moves in direction X. This ultimately implies that, the probe must move in the same direction as the orbit, in order to enter it.

A beam of light has a wavelength of 650 nm in vacuum. (a) What is the speed of this light in a liquid whose index of refraction
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s and 442 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 650 nm

Index refraction = 1.47

(a). We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

n = \dfrac{c}{v}

Where, n = refraction index

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

1.47=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{v}

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.47}

v= 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

n=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{n}

Where, \lambda_{0} = wavelength in vacuum

\lambda = wavelength in medium

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}}{1.47}

\lambda=442\times10^{-9}\ m

Hence, The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s and 442 nm.
