A suspension bridge with weight uniformly distributed along its length has twin towers that extend 65 meters above the road surf

ace and are 1200 meters apart. The cables are parabolic in shape and are suspended from the tops of the towers. The cables touch the road surface at the center of the bridge. Find the height of the cables at a point 300 meters from the center. ​ (Assume that the road is​ level.)

Answer:

16.25 m

Explanation:

we know that the equation pf parabola

y=kx^2

from bellow figure the coordinate of parabola is (600,65) that is y=600 and x=65

putting the the value of y and x in the equation of parabola

65=k600^2

k=0.0001805

now the equation is

y=0.0001805x^2

we have to find the value of y at x=300m

so y=0.0001805\times 300^2

y=16.25 m

Select the statement that best describes gravity.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

Gravity is defined as the force of attraction between two objects. It depends on the masses of objects and the distance between them. The gravitational force between two bodies is given by the universal law of gravitation. According to this law, the force of gravity is :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m₁ and m₂ are masses of two bodies

d is the distance between two bodies

Hence, the correct statement that describes gravity is (b)

The vector product of vectors A⃗ and B⃗ has magnitude 12.0 m2 and is in the +z-direction.Vector A⃗ has magnitude 4.0 m and is in
g100num [7]

Answer:

θ=180°

Explanation:

The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.

Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:

  • If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.

  • If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.

Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).

Why is the unit of momentum called derived unit​
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

the SI unit of momentum is :- kg.ms-1

and we know that,

kinetic energy = 1/2 mv2

E=p2/2m

p=(2Em)1/2

so the derived units are (J.kg)1/2
