Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "tension force".

Explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground. This equilibrium that the tension force gives among the different elements of the bridge, gives the support to hold the bridge together.

Answer:

A. Tension force

Explanation:

These are bridges that use cables to hold the road way up.

The cables in a suspension bridge receive the tension force of the bridge. These cables transmit these forces to the towers supporting the bridge and are compressed into the ground.

mina [271]

Answer:

when the ball is at rest in his coach's hands.

Explanation:

The forces on the basketball are balanced when the basketball is not experiencing any acceleration. This happens when the ball is in his coach's hand: in fact, at that moment the ball is at rest, so it means that its acceleration is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also mean that the net force on the basketball is zero, so the forces on the ball are balanced:

F=ma

where F is the net force, m is the mass of the ball and a is the acceleration.

Three resistors, 21 Ω, 58 Ω, and 64 Ω, are connected in series, and a 0.50-A current passes through them. What are (a) the equiv
adoni [48]
<h2>a) Equivalent resistance is 143 Ω</h2><h2>b) Potential difference is 71.5 V</h2>

Explanation:

When resistors are connected in series, effective resistance is given by

                R_{eff}=R_1+R_2+R_3+......

Here

         R₁ = 21Ω

         R₂ = 58Ω

         R₃ = 64Ω

a)      R_{eff}=R_1+R_2+R_3\\\\R_{eff}=21+58+64\\\\R_{eff}=143\Omega

  Equivalent resistance is 143 Ω

b) We know

               Potential difference = Current x Resistance

               V = IR

               I = 0.5 A

               R = 143Ω

Substituting

               V = 0.5 x 143 = 71.5 V

Potential difference is 71.5 V

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) maximum height of a projectile = u sin^2θ/2g

H= 600 × (sin 30)^2/2 × 10

H= 7.5 m

b) Time of flight

t= 2u sinθ/g

t= 2 × 600 sin 30/10

t= 60 seconds

Range

R= u^2sin2θ/g

R= (600)^2 × sin2(30)/10

R= 31.2 m
