? A body is suspended from the ceiling with two wires that make an angle of 40° with the ceiling. The weight of the body is 150N

. What is the tension in each wire?
Physics

andriy [413]3 years ago

So, the weight is supported by the tension in the two wires, but only part of the tension goes in holding the body: the vertical component.

If the angle between the ceiling and the wire is 40 deg, then the vertical component is

T_y = T * sin(40),

There are two wires, so together they do

2*T*sin(40)

And all this holds the weight of the body, so:

2*T*sin(40)=150 ----> T = 75/sin(40)~116.68 N,

Notice how it is larger than 150N (both wires is ~ 233 N), as the angle becomes smaller, there is less tension that is vertical, so one needs more tension to make the vertical component as large as (half) the weight of the body

Hope it helps!

A traffic-safety engineer is designing a deceleration lane. She is basing the length of
Mice21 [21]

The deceleration of the car is observed as 2 m/s^2.

<h3>What is deceleration?</h3>

The term deceleration has to do with the decrease of velocity with time.

Given that;

v = 65 km/h or 18 m/s

u = 126 km/h to or 35 m/s

t = 8.5 s

a = ?

v = u - at

18 - 35 = -8.5a

a = 18 - 35/-8.5

a = 2 m/s^2

A bird, accelerating from rest at a constant rate, experiences a displacement of 28 m in 11 s. what is the final velocity after
frutty [35]
Let's see what variables we've got first. Hmmm. We have:

Displacement, d = 28 m
Time taken, t = 11 s
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (at rest)

And now we need to find the final velocity, v. Among the 4 (or 5) equations of motions, there's no equation that will let us simply plug in the values and give an answer sigh. But fear not! We'll do it in steps.

I'm going to pick one of the motion equation to find more information:

d = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

I know everything except for a in this one, so I I'll use this! After plugging in values, I get a = 0.4628 m/s^2.

Now I'm going to use another motion equation that has v in it because that needs to be solved!

v = u + at

Now I know everything except dial velocity v. Nice!

v = 0 + (0.4628)(11)

Write a scientific question that is specific and testable. Jack and Jill when up a hill to fetch a pail of water. Once they got
Naya [18.7K]

The scientific method consists of making an observation, ask a question, formulate hypothesis, predict, test, iterate

The scientific question that can be asked is; <u>What is the </u><u>depth of the well</u>

<u />

The reason why the above question is appropriate is as follows:

The items Jack and Jill found at the well

  • No pail
  • A stopwatch
  • Nine equal sized rocks

The information they can get using what they found are;

The time it takes the rock to reach the water surface in the well

The depth of the well

The well's depth, <em>h</em>, is given using the equation of free fall, as follows;

h = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot g \cdot t^2

Where;

g ≈ Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

By recording the time each rock takes to reach the water surface in the well, the average depth of the well, h_{ave}, can be found by finding the average of the 9 calculated values for <em>h</em> using the 9 stones

Therefore;

The scientific question that is specific and testable is <u>how </u><u>deep </u><u>is the </u><u>well</u><u>, or what is the well's depth</u>

If a net horizontal force of 7.5 N is applied to a baby carriage whose mass is 12.5 kg what acceleration is
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

<h2>0.6 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m} \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{7.5}{12.5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.6 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
