A 1000-kg barge is being towed by means of two horizontal cables. one cable is pulling with a force of 80.0 n in a direction 30.

0° west of north. the second cable pulls in a direction 20.0° east of north. what should the magnitude of its pulling force be so that the barge will accelerate northward?

To obtain an acceleration northward is necessary than the west component of the first cable and the east component of the second cable be equal, otherwise the barge will head northwest or northeast.  
So for the first cable the component to west is:
 Fw = F1 * cos (30Âş) = 80*cos(30Âş)  
 And for the second cable the component to east is:
 Fe = F2 * cos (20Âş) = F2*cos(20Âş) 
 Then to get a movement northward we need than Fw = Fe, so:
 80*cos(30Âş) = F2*cos(20Âş)
 F2 = 80*cos(30Âş)/cos(20Âş) 
 F2 = 73.73 N  So the magnitude of the east cable should be 73.73 Newtons

Answer:

The dynamo has a wheel that touches the back tyre. As the bicycle moves, the wheel turns a magnet inside a coil. This induces enough electricity to run the bicycle's lights. The faster the bicycle moves, the greater the induced voltage - and the brighter the lights.

The sales price of a product is $2 per unit; the variable cost is $1 per unit; and fixed costs total $1,000. how many units must
irakobra [83]

Answer:

<u><em>1000 units for breakeven</em></u>

Explanation:

Let x be the number of units sold at breakeven.

The total sales at the point would be $2x.

Variable costs would be $1x and fixed costs are $1000.

Total costs are = $1x + $1000

At breakeven: Sales = Costs

Sales =m Costs

$2x = $1x + $1000

$1x = $1000

x = 1000 units.

At 1000 units the sales are equal to the costs ("breakeven").

4.00 kg glass coffee cup is 30.0°C at room temperature. It is then plunged into hot dishwater at a temperature of 90.0°C, as sho
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 4*837*60

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.

Why does eating less meat conserve more water than just eating plants?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Studies show that eating fewer animal-based products could reduce water use since animal production uses more water than crops do. In addition, reducing the amount of food that's lost or wasted at various points in the food supply chain could feed about 1 billion extra people while simultaneously reducing water use.
