Answer:

The tension in the two ropes are;

T1 = 23.37N T2 = 35.47N

Explanation:

Given mass of the object to be 4.2kg, the weight acting on the bag will be W= mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = 4.2×10 = 42N

The tension acting on the bag plus the weight are three forces acting on the bag. We need to find tension in the two ropes that will keep the object in equilibrium.

Using triangular law of force and sine rule to get the tension we have;

If rope 1 is at 57.6° with respect to the vertical and rope 2 is at 33.8° with respect to the vertical, our sine rule formula will give;

T1/sin33.8° = T2/sin57.6° = 42/sin{180-(33.8°+57.6°)}

T1/sin33.8° = T2/sin57.6° = 42/sin88.6°

From the equality;

T1/sin33.8° = 42/sin88.6°

T1 = sin33.8°×42/sin88.6°

T1 = 23.37N

To get T2,

T2/sin57.6°= 42/sin88.6°

T2 = sin57.6°×42/sin88.6°

T2 = 35.47N

eduard

Answer:

The Kf (Freezing Point Depression Constant) is been affect by freezing point among many other factor now using tap water for this experiment would mean that there would be salt present in the solution in that tap water is usually added fluoride which would react with the natural potassium present in the water to form a salt this salt would depress the freezing point of the water hence the value of Kf would be bigger that the actual value

The car's motion can be divided into three different stages: its motion before the driver realizes he's late, its motion after t

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

B, C, D are valid assumptions

Explanation:

In each stage the acceleration of the car varies because the velocity of car varies in each stage. At first, the acceleration of the car is moving slowly.

Then, driver realizes that he is late so the acceleration of the car increases he hits the gas.

Finally, the acceleration decreases when he sees the police car.

In the first state when driver do not know, that he is late, he will drive with a constant velocity as any one does.

When the driver hits the gas and he does not know about the police vehicle, even then he may drive with constant velocity or he may accelerate the car due to fear of being caught.

In the last part of motion when driver see the police car, even than he may accelerate the car, but acceleration will be constant throughout the motion is not possible, or even than he may continue with constant velocity.

Hence, there are only three assumptions are valid.

B. During each of the three different stages of its motion, the car is moving with constant velocity.

C . The highway is straight.

D. The highway is level.

Note that the rate of change of speed is equal to the acceleration. The acceleration is constant if change in velocity of particle is equal in equal interval of time.
