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 .

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

None of the above forces on air drag on him is equal to his weight

Explanation:

In the velocity-time graph,the gradient of the curve where it is flatten shows the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity when it reaches terminal velocity which means the parachutist reaches constant velocity or speed,indicating that the acceleration of free fall(g) is zero.And according to the resultant force formula weight - air drag= mass*acceleration. so when accelerate is zero,resultant force is zero. And hence the equation will be like this: weight= air drag

What is the answer?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

Pretty slow.... the PE (Potential Energy) at 2m will be converted to KE (Kinetic Energy) at the bottom of the track (neglecting friction)

PE    =   KE

mgh = 1/2 mv^2     divide both sides of the equation by 'm'

gh    = 1/2 v^2             multiply both sides by 2

2 gh = v^2               take sqrt of both sides

v = sqrt ( 2gh) = sqrt ( 2*9.81*2) = 6.26 m/s

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m
Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.
