Answer:

Net force = 7.10 N

Direction of the resultant force = 45° from the horizontal in South-west direction

Explanation:

Forces acting on opposite directions horizontally are 10N and 5N.

Resultant force horizontally F(1) = 10 - 5 = 5N (in the direction of 10 N)

Forces acting on opposite directions vertically are 7N and 2N.

Resultant force vertically F(2) = 7 - 2 = 5N (in the direction of 7N)

Now resultant force of F(1) and F(2),

F = $\sqrt{(F_1)^2+(F_2)^2}$

F = $\sqrt{5^2+5^2}$

F = $5\sqrt{2}$ ≈ 7.10 N

From the triangle OBC,

tanθ = $\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{OB}}$

tanθ = $\frac{1}{1}$

θ = 45°

Therefore, magnitude of the resultant force = 7.10N

Direction of the resultant force = 45° from the horizontal in south west direction.

What is the average power supplied by a 60.0 kg secretary running up a flight of stairs rising vertically 4.0 m in 4.2 s?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.8kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 60kg

Hieght= 4m

Time= 4.2seconds

We know that the energy possessed is given as

PE=mgh

PE=60*9.81*4

PE= 2354.4 Joulse

Also, the expression for power is

Power=Energy*Time

Power= 2354.4*4.2

Power=9888.48 watt

Power= 9.8kW

Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through polystyrene. The waveleng

klemol [59]

Answer:

Speed:

$2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Wavelength:

$4.24x10^{-7}m$

Frequency:

$4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:

The speed of the laser as it travels through polystyrene can be determine by means of the equation of the refraction index:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light and v is the speed of the laser in the medium.

Therefore, v will be isolated from equation 1

$v = \frac{c}{n}$

$v = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1.490}$

$v = 2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Hence, the speed of the laser has a value of $2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Frenquency:

Since, wavelength is the only one who depends on the media. Therefore the frequency in both medium will be the same.

To determine the frequency it can be used the following equation

$c = \nu \cdot \lambda$ (2)

Where c is the speed of light, $\nu$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ is the wavelength

Then, $\nu$ wil be isolated from equation 2.

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}$ (3)

Before using equation 3 it is necessary to express $\lamba$ in units of meters.

$\lambda = 632.8nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9}nm}$ ⇒ $6.328x10^{-7}m$

$\nu = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{6.328x10^{-7}m}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Hence, the frequency of the laser has a value of $4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Wavelength:

To determine the wavelength it can be used:

$v = \nu \cdot \lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}$

Where v is the speed of the laser through the polystyrene.

$\lambda = \frac{2.01x10^{8}m/s}{4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 4.24x10^{-7}m$

Hence, the wavelength of the laser has a value of $4.24x10^{-7}m$

Parts of the brain

Contact [7]

Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.

Cerebellum: is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.

Brainstem: acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.
