C.)    A girl hangs by both hands, motionless, from a trapeze.

Answer:

C) A girl hangs by both hands, motionless, from a trapeze.

Explanation:

The free body diagram in the figure gives us several pieces of information:

- There are two forces upward and one force downward. --> these could correspond to the forces of the two harms of the girl (upward) and the weight of the girl (downward)

- The sum of the tension forcs is equal to the force gravity --> this tells us that the net force is zero, therefore this could corresponds to the girl hanging motionless from the trapeze.

Let's see why the other options are not acceptable:

A) A book is at rest on a tabletop.   --> In this case we would only one have one force downward (the force of gravity) and one force upward (the normal reaction of the tabletop)

B) A physics student rests a backpack upon one shoulder.  --> this does not corresponds to two forces upward and one force downward

D) A girl falls slowly to Earth while strapped to a parachute. --> Again, in this case we would have one force downward (force of gravity) and one force upward (the air resistance on the parachute)

So, the only possible option is C.

A clothes dryer in a home draws a current of 10 amps when connected on a special 220-volts household circuit.what is the resista
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

22Ω

Explanation:

if    V ⇒ voltage

      I ⇒ current

      R ⇒ resistance

V = IR

220 = 10 x R

220 / 10 = R

22 = R

1. What is the momentum of a 1550 kg car that is traveling leftward at a velocity of 15 m/s?
Alik [6]

Answer:

Momentum, p = 23250 kg m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of a car, m = 1550 kg

Speed pf car, v = 15 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the car. The formula for the momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Substituting all the values in the above formula

p = 1550 kg × 15 m/s

p = 23250 kg m/s

So, the momentum of the car is 23250 kg m/s.
