I think you wrote 4900 twice so will use that as the distance. To solve this it is helpful to draw a picture. The drawing should be of a triangle. Since the driver is driving up at an angle, the 4900 ft will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. since we do not know the values of the other two sides of the triangle we cant solve for the altitude using Pythagorean theorem but we can solve using the sine function on our calculator. As sine of angle is equal to opposite over hypotenuse(sinθ=opposite/hypotenuse). Having θ and the hypotenuse we can solve for opposite or the altitude. using some algebra we get hypotenuse*sinθ=opposite or altitude. now to plug everything in and solve: 4900 ft*(sin(2°))=opposite or altitude=171 ft

What is the net force experienced by the rope? Include both the magnitude and direction
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

All the physical world objects that comers in the contact to exert the force to each other. The contact forces are different from their names and what type of force they exert.

Explanation:

The cables and the ropes are the useful objects that exert the forces that can efficiently transfer the force from a significant distance.

It is noted that tension is a type of force that the rope can not simply push it away effectively. When push happened with rope, the rope goes to slack and lose all the tension that pulls at the first place. Tension only pull objects.

A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If t
Bumek [7]

M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg

m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg

V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s

v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?

v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)

100 = (10) V' + 32

(10) V' = 68

V' = 6.8 m/s
