An 8 foot metal guy wire is attached to a broken stop sign to secure its position until repairs can be made. Attached to a stake

in the ground, the guy wire makes an angle of 51º with the ground. How far from the foot of the stop sign is the stake, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Answer:

Explanation:

The guy wire is making a right angled triangle  with the ground and stop sign . It makes an angle of 51 degree with the ground. In this triangle stop sign is the perpendicular and distance from the base on the ground forms the base of the triangle . Wire forms the hypotenuse.

base / hypotenuse = cos51

base = hypotenuse x cos51

= 8 x cos51

= 5.03 ft .

The distance of the stake with which guy wire was attached from the foot of the stop sign is 5.03 ft .

72.0-kg person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface of the door. The doorknob is locat
expeople1 [14]

Answer:I=2 kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given

mass m=72 kg

Force F=5 N

door knob is located at a distance of r=0.8 m from axis

Angular acceleration of door \alpha =2 rad/s^2

Torque T=I\alpha =F\times r

where I=moment of inertia

5\times 0.8=I\times 2

I=2 kg-m^2

A student tests the acidity of nitric acid (HNO3) by dissolving a sample of HNO3 in a solution of liquid methane. He then uses a
DerKrebs [107]
Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:

1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:

2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.

Does that help?
