Answer:

the tension in each side of the cable is 3677.57 N

Explanation:

given data

traffic light = 20 kg

cable between two poles = 30 m

sag in the cable = 0.40 m

solution

by the free body diagram

tan θ = \frac{0.4}{15}    .............1

θ = 1.527 °

and

tension = mg

The net force is along x - axis is express as

T2 cosθ = T1 cosθ     .................2

so T2 - T1     ..............3

and

when we take it along y  axis  that is express as

( T1 + T2) sinθ = mg    ...................4

so by equation 3 we put here

2 × T1 sin(1.527) = 20 × 9.8  

T1 = 3677.57 N

A proton moving with a velocity of 4.0 × 104 m/s enters a magnetic field of 0.20 t. if the angle between the velocity of the pro
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Magnitude of the force on proton = F = 1.1085 × 10^-15 N

Explanation:

Charge on proton = q = 1.60 × 10^-19 C

Velocity of proton = V = 4.0 × 10^4 m/s

Magnetic field = B = 0.20 T  

Angle between V and B = θ = 60

We know that,  

F = qVBsin θ = (1.60 × 10^-19)( 4.0 × 10^4)( 0.20)sin(60)

F = 1.1085 × 10^-15 N

If you wanted to live where the chances of a destructive earthquake were small, would you pick a location near a fault zone, nea
exis [7]

Answer: A volcanic island arc like Hawaii.

Explanation: The Hawaiian island is the most safest place for the people to live in comparison to the other given options.

The plate tectonic movement generates energy due to collision, resulting in sudden release of energy, and seismic waves are produced that propagates and causes earthquake.

Due to the constant collision between the plates, different places at different time experiences earthquake. Near a fault region, earthquakes are very severe, and also near the mid oceanic ridge it is not possible for a person to live. The subduction zones are the region where a denser plate subducts beneath the other, and its impossible for life to exist there.

Thus the most safest place out of all the option is the volcanic islands where numerous people resides. for example, the Hawaiian and Stromboli.

At a certain location, Earth's magnetic field of 44 µT is horizontal and directed due north. Suppose the net field is zero exact
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the current is 24.19 A

b) The angle is 90°

Explanation:

a) Given:

B = magnetic field = 44 µT = 44x10⁻⁶T

r = distance = 11 cm = 0.11 m

The current is:

B=\frac{\mu I}{2\pi r} \\I=\frac{2B\pi r}{\mu } =\frac{2*44x10^{-6}*\pi  *0.11}{4\pi x10^{-7} } =24.19A

b) Because the current flows from the west to the east, therefore, the angle is 90 degrees from the north.

When some stars use up their fuel, they undergo a catastrophic explosion called a supernova. This explosion blows much or all of
algol13

Answer:

0.0768 revolutions per day

Explanation:

R = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity

As the mass is conserved the angular momentum is conserved

I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{\omega_2}{\omega_1}

Moment of intertia for solid sphere

I_1=\frac{2}{5}MR^2\\\Rightarrow I_1=0.4MR^2

Moment of intertia for hollow sphere

I_2=\frac{2}{3}M(4.3R)^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=12.327MR^2

Dividing the moment of inertia

\frac{I_1}{I_1}=\frac{0.4MR^2}{12.327MR^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I_1}{I_2}=0.032

From the first equation

\omega_2=\omega_1\frac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=2.4\times 0.032\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=0.0768\ rev\day

The angular velocity, in revolutions per day, of the expanding supernova shell is 0.0768 revolutions per day
