Answer:

Ft = 50.25 N

Explanation:

As you can see in the attached diagram, the angle θ is given by

tanθ = opp/adj

The opposite is the sag of distance 2 m and the adjacent is the half of the horizontal clothesline that is 20 m.

tanθ = 2/10

θ = tan⁻¹(2/10)

θ = 11.30°

There are two forces along the y axis, one is the F = mg acting downwards and the other is the Ftsinθ component of tension force in the string.

The sum of forces along y-axis is

5Ftsin(11.30) - mg = 0

Ft = mg/5sin(11.30)

Ft = 5*9.8/5sin(11.30)

Ft = 9.8/0.195

Ft = 50.25 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 50.25 N.

When a rattlesnake strikes, its head accelerates from rest to a speed of 28 m/s in 0.65 seconds. Assume for simplicity that the
enyata [817]

Answer:

102.52 W

Explanation:

Power: This ca be defined as the rate at which energy is used up.

The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

From the question,

P = E/t.............. Equation 1

Where P = average power of the snake head, E = energy of the snake, t = time.

But,

E = 1/2mv²............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the head, v = velocity of the snake head.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = 1/2mv²/t ............ Equation 3

Given: m = 170 g = 0.17 kg, v = 28 m/s, t = 0.65 s.

Substitute into equation 3

P = 1/2(0.17)(28²)/0.65

P = 102.52 W.

Hence the average power of the snake = 102.52 W

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance between the objects doubles?
Ymorist [56]

if the distance between the objects is doubled the force is reduced by a factor of 4

<h3>Whats is gravitational force?</h3>

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between objects in the universe.

f = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

f = gravitational force

G = gravitational constant

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r = distance between the objects

From the formular, the gravitational force and the distance is an inverse relationship so increasing the distance by a factor results to reduction of the force by the square of the factor. hence doubling the distance which is distance mutiplied by 2 will lead to reduction of the force by 2^2 = 4

Therefore: The force decreases by a factor of 4.

hope it helps
