Answer:

w = 73 N

Explanation:

Since the box is held by the ropes it means that the resulting tension is equal to the weight of the box

T_res = w

Now, the resulting tension is a combination of the tension of each rope.

Since we want to find the vertical component we must multiply by the cosine of 30 degrees the value of T

T_res =  T*cos(30) + T*cos(30)

T_res = 2*(42 N)*(0.866)

T_res = 72.746 N

T_res = w = 72.746 N

A car with a constant velocity of 22 m/s is driven for 6.8 s. How far did it travel? (V =A d/AT)
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: 150 m

Explanation:

velocity = 22 m/s

t = 6.8 s

velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

distance = velocity × time

= 22 × 6.8

= 149.6 m

≈ 150 m

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N

Why was the idea of plate tectonics difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced?
gayaneshka [121]
It's kind of funny really. The guy who invented the idea in the first place had actually been made fun of because the thought of that happening was improbable in their mind. Also, Wegener ( the guy who invented the idea) was not even a geologist but a meteorologist. But later it had been backed up due to earthquakes being record consecutively in one area, and the graphs turning out differently.
