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 .

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct solution will be "12.0 A".

Explanation:

The given values are:

N_p= 500 \ turn

N_s= 200 \ turn

I_s= 3.0 \ A

By using the transformer formula, we get

⇒ \frac{N_p}{N_s}  =\frac{I_s}{I_p}

⇒ I_p = I_s\times \frac{N_s}{N_p}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =3.0 \ A\times \frac{2000}{500}

⇒      =12.0 \ A

rewona [7]

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The attached image below shows the diagram of a CRT in the helmholtz coils and well labelled with details

(b). The electron will follow a circular path which travels along under constant magnetic field

r = \frac{mV}{qB}

where m = mass of electron, V = velocity of electron, q = charge of the electron and B = magnetic field strength

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?
belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

                              v = d / t      m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                               v = 24 / 8

                                  = 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s
