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

Setler [38]

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\  P = -2mv_{i}

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w
Zigmanuir [339]
Radial acceleration is given by

a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}
where 

v=r \omega
then

a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2

Now

70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2}  \\  \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }

Using the relation

\omega=2 \pi f

2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\  \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz

Putting into rpm

\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm

An open cart is rolling to the left on a horizontal surface. A package slides down a chute and lands in the cart. Which quantity
Marat540 [252]

Answer: the horizontal component of total momentum

Explanation:

Since the open cart is rolling to the left on the horizontal surface, the quantity that has the same value just before and just after the package lands in the cart is the horizontal component of total momentum.

Momentum, is the product of the mass of a particle and the velocity of the particle. The change of momentum depends on the force which acts on it. The addition of the the individual momenta is the total momentum.

Use dimensional analysis to convert the following units. Show your work.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

conversion of 2.5 days to seconds

2.5 days =2.5 days*24 hours*3600 seconds

2.5 days=216000seconds

b) conversion of 25 km to mm

1 km=1000000 mm

therefore

25 km=25*1000000=25000000 mm

c) conversion 22 g to kg

1000 g=1 kg

therefore

22 g=22/1000=0.022 kg
