Two forces, F1 and F2, act at a point. F1 has a magnitude of 8.60 N and is directed at an angle of 55.0 ∘ above the negative x a

xis in the second quadrant. F2 has a magnitude of 7.00 N and is directed at an angle of 53.2 ∘ below the negative x axis in the third quadrant. What is the x component Fx of the resultant force?

Answer:9.125 N

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of Force $F_1=8.60 N$ at angle of $55^{\circ}$ above negative x axis

Magnitude of Force $F_2=7 N$ at angle of $53.2^{\circ}$ below negative x axis

$\theta _1=180^{\circ}-55^{\circ}=125^{\circ}$

$\theta _2=180^{\circ}+53.2^{\circ}=233.2^{\circ}$

Thus net force in x direction

$F_x=F_1\cos \theta _1+F_2\cos \theta _2$

$F_x=8.6\times \cos (125)+7\times \cos (233.2)$

$F_x=-9.1251 N$ towards negative x axis

A student of 4 feet tall went for swimming in a pool. He saw the depth of water in the pole less than 4 feet .Will he sink , wri

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

he will not be drowned

Explanation:

Question says , the height of the student = 4 feet,

Depth of the pool( in feet ) be x ( say ) which is less than 4 feet,

Clearly, the depth of the pool < height of the student,

This means, if the student goes for swimming in the pool, however he does not know swimming, he will not be drowned until he is suffering from an injury or external force.

( Science ) If the sun is far away then why does it look like we get higher than it when we lift a camera high in the sky?

Nina [5.8K]

Because the sun stays in the same place but your brain makes you think the sun is descending so your eyes think you're higher than the sun

A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.40 m and is filled with helium. Part A How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the sk

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The mass of the cargo is $M = 188.43 \ kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the spherical balloon is $r = 7.40 \ m$

The mass of the balloon is $m = 990\ kg$

The volume of the spherical balloon is mathematically represented as

$V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3$

substituting values

$V = \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 *(7.40)^3$

$V = 1697.6 \ m^3$

The total mass the balloon can lift is mathematically represented as

$m = V (\rho_h - \rho_a)$

where $\rho_h$ is the density of helium with a value of

$\rho_h = 0.179 \ kg /m^3$

and $\rho_a$ is the density of air with a value of

$\rho_ a = 1.29 \ kg / m^3$

substituting values

$m = 1697.6 ( 1.29 - 0.179)$

$m = 1886.0 \ kg$

Now the mass of the cargo is mathematically evaluated as

$M = 1886.0 - 1697.6$

$M = 188.43 \ kg$

A 72-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the first .8 s , the elevator is under acceleration . It starts from initial velocity u = 0 , final velocity v = 1.2 m /s , time = .8 s

v = u + at

1.2 = 0 + .8 a

a = 1.2 / .8

= 1.5 m /s²

During the acceleration in upward direction , let reaction force of ground on man be R .

Net force on man = R - mg

Applying Newton's 2 nd law

R - mg = ma

R = m ( g + a )

= 72 ( 9.8 + 1.5 )

= 813.6 N .

This reaction force will be measured by spring scale , so reading of spring scale will be 813.6 N .
