If four vertical cables are holding up a rectangular, 100- Newton sign, how much tension is on each cable?

We may balance the forces in order to calculate the tension.
We know that there are no horizontal forces being applied. Next, the vertical forces are:
Weight (W) which is acting downwards
Tension in each wire (T) which is acting upwards
Because the sign is stationary, the downward force must equal the upward force. So we may write:
Weight = 4 * tension
W = 4T

100 = 4T
T = 25 N

The tension in each wire is 25 Newtons

I took the test and got 25 N correct

Compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy

Kinetic and Potential Energy HistoryA roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.Potential EnergyPotential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it <span>has very little kinetic energy.Kinetic Energy The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. Hope this helped:))))</span>

How do t cells differ from b cells
Natalka [10]
Both cells are formed in bone marrow.....but t cells matures into thymus....and b cells matures into bone marrow ! both helps in defense !

B cells can connect to antigens right on the surface of the invading virus or bacteria. 
T- cells can only connect to virus antigens on the outside of infected cells.

What is the density of an object with a mass of 60g and a volume of 2cm3?
zaharov [31]

m= 60g = 60/1000 Kg = 0.06 Kg v = 2cm3 = 2 * (0.01^3) m3 = 2 *10^-6 m3 Density= m/v = 6 * 10^-2 / 2 *10^-6  =  3 *10^4 Kg/m3

A combined circuit has two resistors in series (27.5 ohms and 33.0 ohms) and another in parallel (22.0 ohms). If the power sourc
Dafna1 [17]
R 1,2 = 27.5 + 33.0 = 60.5 Ohms
1/ R 1,2,3 = 1/ 60.5 + 1 / 22 = 82.5 / 1331
R 1, 2, 3 = 1331 / 82.5 = 16.13 Ohms
I = U / R
I = 9 V / 16.13 Ohms = 0.557 A ≈ 0.56 A

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?
solmaris [256]

When two forces act in the same direction, they add together. ... Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.
