Answer:

The second leg of the triangle is 35.62

Explanation:

Given that

Hypotenuse = 37

A leg = 10

Based on the above information

The second leg of the triangle is

According to the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where,

a and b = legs

And, the c = hypotenuse.

Now put these values to the above formula

So,

10^2 + b^2 = 37^2

b^2 = 37^2 - 10^2

b^2 = 1269

b = sqrt(1269)

b = 35 .62

Hence, the second leg of the triangle is 35.62

The other leg is 35 mm.

Which best describes a difference between laser light and regular light?

Inga [223]

The basic difference is that the ordinary sources are incoherent that means that the discrete frequencies merge up to give an intermediate between the maximum and minimum frequencies. While the laser is coherent containing the single frequency with maximum amplitude. thus travelling far.

A 1.80-m string of weight 0.0126 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

W = 0.135 N

Explanation:

Given:

- y (x, t) = 8.50*cos(172*x -2730*t)

- Weight of string m*g = 0.0126 N

- Attached weight = W

Find:

The attached weight W given that Tension and W are equal.

Solution:

The general form of standing mechanical waves is given by:

y (x, t) = A*cos(k*x -w*t)

Where k = stiffness and w = angular frequency

Hence,

k = 172 and w = 2730

- Calculate wave speed V:

V = w / k = 2730 / 172 = 13.78 m/s

- Tension in the string T:

T = Y*V^2

where Y: is the mass per unit length of the string.

- The tension T and weight attached W are equal:

T = W = Y*V^2 = (w/L*g)*V^2

W = (0.0126 / 1.8*9.81)*(13.78)^2

W = 0.135 N

A 49.0 kg wheel, essentially a thin hoop with radius 0.730 m, is rotating at 114 rev/min. It must be brought to a stop in 22.0 s

belka [17]

Explanation:

Mass of the wheel, m = 49 kg

Radius of the hoop, r = 0.73 m

Initial angular speed of the wheel, $\omega_i=114\ rev/min = 11.93\ rad/s$

Final angular speed of the wheel, $\omega_f=0$

Time, t = 22 s

(a) If I is the moment of inertia of the hoop. It is equal to,

$I=mr^2$

$I=49\times (0.73)^2$

$I=26.11\ kg-m^2$

We know that the work done is equal to change in kinetic energy.

$W=\Delta E$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}I(\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2)$

$W=-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 26.11\times (11.93^2)$

W = -1858.05 Joules

(b) Let P is the average power. It is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{1858.05\ J}{22\ s}$

P =84.45 watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

2. Can you place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g so they are in equilibrium. Justify your answer.

Bond [772]

Answer:

We cannot place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Equilibrium means their sum must be zero.

Here the forces are 5g, 6g, and 12g.

For number of forces to be in equilibrium the magnitude of largest vector should be less than sum of the magnitude of other vectors.

Here

Magnitude of largest force = 12 g

Sum of magnitudes of other forces = 5g + 6g = 11g

Magnitude of largest force > Sum of magnitudes of other forces

So this forces cannot form equilibrium.

We cannot place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g in equilibrium.
