A very interesting observation, to be sure.

If the train is traveling forward, then it is slowing down.

If the train is traveling backward, then it is speeding up.

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?
LiRa [457]
The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.

Diane swim 5 kilometers against the current in the same amout of time it took her to swim 15 kilometers with the current . The r
lidiya [134]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

suppose 's' is Diane's speed with no current.

't' represents time in hrs.

Using the formula:

Distance = speed 's' x time 't'

-> when she swims against the current, equation will be,

5= (s-2)t

t= 5/(s-2)

->when she was swimming with the current, equation is,

15= (s+2) t

t= 15/(s+2)

equating eq(1) and (2)

5/(s-2) = 15/(s+2)

5s + 10 = 15s - 30

40= 10s

s= 40/10

s=4

Therefore, if there were no current, her speed is 4km/hr
