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 ball rolls of a cliff and when it lands has a vertical velocity 35 ms ^-1. how high was the cliff?
Licemer1 [7]
Using V²=u² +2gH
let's assume the ball falls from rest, then it's initial velocity = 0ms-¹ (U=0)
then from the above info V= 35ms-¹
g= 10ms-² (value of acceleration due to gravity to the nearest tens)

so input your values above into the given formula to find height
35² = 0² +2×10×H
1225 = 20H
H = 1225÷20 = 61.25m

In a 5000 m race, the athletes run 12 1/2 laps; each lap is 400 m.Kara runs the race at a constant pace and finishes in 17.9 min
Ksju [112]

Answer:

No. of laps of Hannah are 7 (approx).

Solution:

According to the question:

The total distance to be covered, D = 5000 m

The distance for each lap, x = 400 m

Time taken by Kara, t_{K} = 17.9 min = 17.9\times 60 = 1074 s

Time taken by Hannah, t_{H} = 15.3 min = 15.3\times 60 = 918 s

Now, the speed of Kara and Hannah can be calculated respectively as:

v_{K} = \frac{D}{t_{K}} = \frac{5000}{1074} = 4.65 m/s

v_{H} = \frac{D}{t_{H}} = \frac{5000}{918} = 5.45 m/s

Time taken in each lap is given by:

(v_{H} - v_{K})t = x

(5.45 - 4.65)\times t = 400

t = \frac{400}{0.8}

t = 500 s

So, Distance covered by Hannah in 't' sec is given by:

d_{H} = v_{H}\times t

d_{H} = 5.45\times 500 = 2725 m

No. of laps taken by Hannah when she passes Kara:

n_{H} = \frac{d_{H}}{x}

n_{H} = \frac{2725}{400} = 6.8 ≈ 7 laps

A person is initially driving a car east down a straight road. the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration is decreasing wit
Alexxandr [17]
By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,

The work output of a machine can never be less than
Dominik [7]
The work output of a machine can be anything, depending on the friction
and other losses internal to the machine. But it can never be MORE than
the work <u>input</u>.

I suppose you might say that the work output can never be less than zero,
because there's no such thing as negative energy.
