Answer:

T_{vertical} = 50 N

Explanation:

given,

traffic light weight = 100 N

angle at which the rope is supported = 30°

vertical component of force = ?

2 T sin \theta= W

2 T sin 30^0= 100

T = \dfrac{100}{2 sin 30^0}

T = 100\ N

T_{vertical} = T sin 30^0

T_{vertical} = 100\times \dfrac{1}{2}

T_{vertical} = 50 N

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

To demonstrate the tremendous acceleration of a top fuel dragracer, you attempt to run your car into the back of a dragster that
noname [10]

Answer:

a. 2v₀/a   b. 2v₀/a  

Explanation:

a. Since you are moving with a constant velocity v₀, the distance, s you cover in time = t max is s = v₀t.

Since the dragster starts from rest with an acceleration, a, using

s' = ut + 1/2at² where u = 0 and s' = distance moved by dragster

s' = 0t + 1/2at²

s' = 1/2at²

Since the distance moved by me and the dragster must be the same,

s = s'

v₀t. =  1/2at²

v₀t. - 1/2at² = 0

t(v₀ - 1/2at) = 0

t= 0 or v₀ - 1/2at = 0

t= 0 or v₀ = 1/2at

t= 0 or t = 2v₀/a  

So the maximum time tmax = 2v₀/a

b. Since the distance covered by me to meet the dragster is s = v₀t in time, t = tmax which is also my distance from the dragster when it started. So, my distance from the dragster when it started is s =  v₀(2v₀/a)

= 2v₀/a
