Answer:

To summarize, potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.

Holding a bow and arrow before shooting, The amount of energy stored before you race on track, And a roller coaster going to it's highest point staying there waiting to come down.

Consider the 65 N light fixture supported as in the figure. Find the tension in the supporting wires.
ASHA 777 [7]

By using Lami's theorem formula, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons

TENSION

  • Tension is also a force having Newton as S.I unit.
  • The tension in the wire will be the same.

This question can be solved by using either vector diagram or by using  Lami's theorem.

The sum of two given angles  = 42 + 42 = 84 degrees

The third angle = 180 - 84 = 96 degrees.

Below is the Lami's theorem formula

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } = \frac{T}{sin\beta } = \frac{W}{sinY}

Where

\alpha  = \beta = 42 + 90 = 132 degrees

Y = 96 degrees

W = 65 N

By using the formula, we have

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } =  \frac{W}{sinY}

T/sin 132 = 65/sin96

Cross multiply

T = 0.743 x 65.57

T = 48.56 N

Therefore, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons approximately.

Compare tidal range to spring tide
makkiz [27]

Spring tides have higher high tides and lower low tides whereas neap tides have lower high tides and higher low tides. Hence, the range is much larger in a spring tide than in a low tide.

A starship travels to a planet that is 20 light years away. The astronauts stay on the planet for 2.0 years before returning at
ad-work [718]

Answer:

astronauts age is 32 years

correct option is e 32 years

Explanation:

given data

travels = 20 light year

stay = 2 year

return = 52 years

to find out

astronauts aged

solution

we know here they stay 2 year so time taken in traveling is

time in traveling = ( 52 -2 )  = 50 year

so it mean 25 year in going and 25 years in return

and distance is given 20 light year

so speed will be

speed = distance / time

speed = 20 / 25 = 0.8 light year

so time is

time = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1-v^2} }

time =  \frac{25}{\sqrt{1-0.8^2} }

time = 15 year

so age is 15 + 2 + 15

so astronauts age is 32 years

so correct option is e 32 years
