Answer:

observation

Explanation:

Through an observation information is acquired. The acquiring of information must be through the five senses directly or indirectly. When a person takes an observation using eyes it is a form direct observation. When a person takes an observation using scientific instruments it is a form indirect observation.

Inference is the deduction of observations taken.

Here, the sun rose at 6:54 this morning is an observation i.e., a person saw the sun rise at 6:54. It has not been deduced that the sun rose at 6:54.

Observation: You saw/ observed something and you are stating that.

Inference: You are predicting something to be true. If so and so, then this will occur.

You have two windlasses (winches) named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are

Blababa [14]

You have two windlasses named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are hoisting a 50kg weight, Hence, X will lift faster and easier than Y

<h3>What is windlasses (winches) will lift faster?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Torque is mathematically given as

Torque(X)=weight x radius of drum

T=50x9.81x0.25

T=122.625 Nm

For, Torque (Y)

T=50x9.81x0.375

T=183.93 Nm

Generally, the equation for the Equation of Power is mathematically given as

P= Torque * Angular velocity

Angular velocity (w)= 2 x pi x N/60

As a consequence, torque has an inverse relationship to speed. Because of this, the torque will decrease as the speed rises.

According to the previous statement, windlass X has a speed of lift that is at its maximum, but windlass Y has a speed that is very low.

Additionally, power is exactly proportional to torque, which means that the highest possible torque required the highest possible amount of energy and vice versa.

Therefore, X should raise at the highest possible speed while using the least amount of energy.

In conclusion, X will lift faster and easier than Y

A weight of 1400 pounds is suspended from two cables as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the left cable? _________ po

juin [17]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Law:

$\to \theta= 180^{\circ}- 50^{\circ}- 25^{\circ}$

$= 180^{\circ}- 75^{\circ}\\\\= 105^{\circ}$

$\to \frac{T_{L}}{\sin (90+50)}= \frac{T_{R}}{\sin (25+90)}=\frac{1400}{\sin (105)}$

$\to T_L=931.65 \ pounds \\\\ \to T_R=1313.59 \ pounds \\\\$

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.

Georgia [21]

The refractive index for glycerine is $n_g=1.473$ , while for air it is $n_a = 1.00$ .

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}$

What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth: (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon: (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference. In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup. Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth. It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
