Answer:

118.8 N

Explanation:

Weight of the light, W = 214.8 N

Angle between two wires, 2θ = 129.4°

Let t be the tension in each wire. Now the vertical components of tension is balanced by the weight of the light.

2 T Sinθ = W

2 x T x Sin 64.7° = 214.8

1.808 T = 214.8

T = 118.8 N

Thus, the tension in each wire is 118.8 N.

Which of the following are decomposition reactions?
zhenek [66]

The 2 decomposition reactions are:

B. K_{2}CO_{3} (s) --> K_{2} O (s) + CO_{2} (g)

C. 2SO_{3} (g) --> 2SO_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)

Explanation:

Step 1:

A decomposition reaction is one in which a single compound breaks down into two or more products.

Step 2:

Let us examine each reaction if it satisfies the above rule.

A. 2 LiOH +  CO_{2} ---> Li_{2} CO_{3} + H_{2} O

In this reaction we have 2 reactants giving 2 products. Hence this is not a decomposition reaction.

B. K_{2} CO_{3} ---> K_{2} O + CO_{2}

In this reaction a single reactant potassium carbonate gives rise to 2 products Potassium Oxide and carbon-di-oxide. Hence this is a decomposition reaction

C. 2SO_{3} ---> 2SO_{2} + O_{2}

In this reaction a single reactant sulfur tri-oxide gives rise to 2 products sulfur di-oxide and oxygen. Hence this is a decomposition reaction.

D. 2Na + Cl_{2} ---> 2NaCl_{}

In this reaction 2 reactants sodium and chlorine gives rise to a single product sodium chloride. Hence this is not a decomposition reaction.

Step 3:

Answer:

The 2 decomposition reactions are:

B. K_{2} CO_{3} (s) ---> K_{2}O (s) + CO_{2} (g)

C. 2SO_{3} ---> 2SO_{2} + O_{2}

After fixing a flat tire on a bicycle you give the wheel a spin. Its initial angular speed was 5.40 rad/s and it rotated 12.3 re
zaharov [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of angular motion.

By definition, acceleration can be expressed as the change in angular velocity squared over a given period of distance traveled.

\alpha = \frac{\omega^2}{2\theta}

where,

\omega = Angular velocity

\theta = Angular displacement.

In turn, as a function of time, we can represent it as,

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

For our case we have to,

\omega = 5.4rad/s

\theta = 12.3rev = 12.3rev(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})=24.6\pi rad

PART A) In the case of angular acceleration we have to,

\alpha = \frac{\omega^2}{2\theta}

\alpha = \frac{(5.4)^2}{2*24.6\pi}

\alpha = 0.1886rad/s^2

PART B) Through the definition of angular acceleration as a function of time we can calculate it,

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

t = \frac{\omega}{\alpha}

t = \frac{5.4}{0.1886}

t = 28.63s

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Well I don't think there is a specific answer for that, but a lot of under the age children do drink and smoke,because these days,their parents either don't care, and some just don't know about it. Many kids drink and smoke these days and I don't think there is a on point percentage.

Explanation: Hope this helps and have a good day!!!
