A suspension bridge with weight uniformly distributed along its length has twin towers that extend 90 meters above the road surf

ace and are 800 meters apart. The cables are parabolic in shape and are suspended from the tops of the towers. The cables touch the road surface at the center of the bridge. Find the height of the cables at a point 200 meters from the center. ​ (Assume that the road is​ level.) The height of the cables is nothing meters.

Answer:

y=22.5 m

Explanation:

Given that

P (800 , 90)

Shape is parabolic

When x= 200 m we have to find the values of y

We know that equation of parabola

y = a x²

At x= 400 m y= 90 m   ( 400 distance from center)

So

90 = 400² a     ( 400 distance from center)

a=90/400² = 90/(160000)

y = a x²

y = 90/(160000) x²

When x= 200 m

y = (90 x  200² )/(160000)

y= 90 x 40000/(160000)

y= 90 x 4/(16)

y=22.5 m

Which has a total mass of 1612 kg. If she accelerates from rest to a speed of 12.87 m/s in 3.47 s, what is the minimum power req
blondinia [14]

Answer:

76969.29 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = F×v............. Equation 1

Where P = Power, F = force, v = velocity

But,

F = ma.......... Equation 2

Where m = mass, a = acceleration

Also,

a = (v-u)/t......... Equation 3

Given: u = 0 m/s ( from rest), v = 12.87 m/s, t = 3.47 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

a = (12.87-0)/3.47

a = 3.71 m/s²

Also Given: m = 1612 kg

Substitute into equation 2

F = 1612(3.71)

F = 5980.52 N.

Finally,

Substitute into equation 1

P = 5980.52×12.87

P = 76969.29 W

You place a box weighing 200.2 N on a inclined plane that makes a 37.1 angle with the horizontal. Compute the component of the g
salantis [7]

Answer:

141.56 N.

Explanation:

Data given:

Weight of the box= 200.2 N

Angle with the horizontal= 37.1°

Solution;

Gravitational force on the box, F_g= weight of the box

                                                                           = 200.2 N

Component of gravitational force along plane = F_g * sin( ∅ )

                                                                                   = W * (sin∅)

                                                                                   = (200.1) * sin (37.1°)

                                                                                   = 141.56 N

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons  = 8

Number of neutrons  = 9

Number of electrons  = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

 For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

     Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

      Charge  =  8  - 10  = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

 The ion is O²⁻

Which describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?
Andrew [12]
Photon energy is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
(That would also mean that it's inversely proportional to the wavelength.)

So the photon energy increases as you scan the chart of visible colors
moving from the red end of the rainbow to the blue end.
