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

When a 4.25 kg object is placed on top of a vertical spring, the spring compresses a distance of 2.62 cm. what is the force cons
ANTONII [103]
The force applied to the spring is the weight of the object that compresses it, so it is equal to:
W=mg=(4.25 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=41.7 N

Because of this force, the spring compresses by x=2.62 cm=0.0262 m. Using Hook's law,
F=kx,
since we know the intensity of the force (the weight W) and the compression of the spring, x, we can find k, the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{W}{x}= \frac{41.7 N}{0.0262 m}   =1591.6 N/m

A roller coaster has a mass of 450 kgIt sits at the top of a hill with height 49 m. If it drops from this hill, how fast is it g
fgiga [73]

The speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill is 31 m/s.

<h3>Speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as follows;

K.E(bottom) = P.E(top)

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • v is the speed of the coater at bottom hill
  • h is the height of the hill
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 49)

v = 31 m/s

Thus, the speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill is 31 m/s.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Pascal's law says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted without a change in magnitude to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container. The pressure at any point in the fluid is equal in all directions

Which statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0?
satela [25.4K]

The statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0 is - The substance with the lower pH has 1,000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

pH is the scale or measure for the substance about its acidic or basic strength. It ranges from 0 to 6.9 which is acidic and 7.1 to 14 which is basic.

Acidic substance has high concentration of Hydrogen ions whereas, basic substance has low concentration of hydrogen ions, however for the OH⁻ ions it is reverse.

  • Concentration of hydrogen ions is inversely related to its pH
  • More hydrogen ions present, the lower the pH
  • The fewer hydrogen ions, the higher the pH We know,

pH = -log(H^{+}) then,  

=> 3 = -log (H^{+})

=> H^{+} =  (for pH = 3)  

=> pH = -log(H^{+})

=> 6 = -log (H^{+})

=> H^{+} = 10^{-6} (for pH = 6)

 Thus, The substance with the lower pH (3) has 1000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

What type of energy does gasoline have? How could you relate it to the movement of a vehicle that uses it?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of a substance. The various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car.
