Answer:

1.5 ohm, 9 ohm

Explanation:

Total resistance, R = 10.5 ohm

Let the resistance of one piece is r and then the resistance of another piece is 10.5 - r.

According to question, the resistance of one piece is equal to the 6 times the resistance of another piece.

so, 6 r = 10.5 - r

7 r = 10.5

r = 1.5 ohm

Thus, the resistance of one piece is 1.5 ohm and resistance of another piece is 10.5 - 1.5 = 9 ohm.

he tune-up specifications of a car call for the spark plugs to be tightened to a torque of 47 N⋅m . You plan to tighten the plug
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

207.4 N

Explanation:

The torque \tau  on a body is

\tau = r* F  where r is the radius vector from the point of rotation to the point at which force F is applied.

The product of r and F is equal to the product of magnitude of r and F multiplied by the sine of angle between both vectors.

Therefore, torque is also given by

\tau = rF\sin \theta

Where \theta is the angle between r and F.

Use the expression of torque.

Substitute L for r in the equation \tau = rF\sin \theta

\tau = LF\sin \theta

Where L is the length of the wrench.

Making F the subject

F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}

Force required to pull the wrench is given as,

F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}

Substitute 47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}  for \tau, 25 cm for L, and 115o for \theta  

\begin{array}{c}\\F = \frac{{47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}}}{{\left( {25{\rm{ cm}}} \right)\sin {{115}^{\rm{o}}}}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ cm}}}}{{{{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{ m}}}}} \right)\\\\ = 207.435{\rm{ N}}\\\\ \approx 207.4{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

Somebody please explain how to solve this. Thanks in advance!
Jobisdone [24]

work done is product of force and displacement of point of application of force

so here we have to check the product of force and displacement both

Now we will put the least to maximum work in the following order

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The railroad tracks are 13 m above the windshield (12 m without intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

First, let´s calculate the time it took the driver to travel the 27 m to the point of impact.

The equation for the position of the car is:

x = v · t

Where

x = position at time t

v = velocity

t = time

x = v · t

27 m = 17 m/s · t

27 m / 17 m/s = t

t = 1.6 s

Now let´s calculate the distance traveled by the bolt in that time. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the height of the windshield:

The position of the bolt will be:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Where

y = height of the bolt at time t

y0 = initial height of the bolt

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the windshield, at time 1.6 s the height of the bolt will be 0 m (impact on the windshield). Then, we can calculate the initial height of the bolt which is the height of the railroad tracks above the windshield:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = y0 -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.6 s)²

y0 = 13 m
