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?

The aid of a free-body diagram is essential for solving this mechanics problem. The summation of horizontal and vertical forces in the system must be equal to zero since the body is in equilibrium. 

Summation of x-forces:

T*cos(40)-T*cos(40) = 0

y forces:

2T*sin(40) - 150 = 0

T = 150/2*sin(40) = 100.66 N

Therefore, the tension in each wire would be 100.66 Newtons.

2 m3 of an ideal gas are compressed from 100 kPa to 200 kPa. As a result of the process, the internal energy of the gas increase
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

work done is -150 kJ

Explanation:

given data

volume v1 = 2 m³

pressure p1 = 100 kPa

pressure p2 = 200 kPa

internal energy = 10 kJ

heat is transferred  = 150 kJ

solution

we know from 1st law of thermodynamic is

Q = du +W    ............1

put here value and we get

-140 = 10 + W

W = -150 kJ

as here work done is -ve so we can say work is being done on system

How has the farming industry been affected by the use of fossil fuels?
Mashutka [201]

Fossil fuels have led to an increase in food costs.

Explanation:

Buried organic material over million of years form combustible geologic deposits of organic materials called fossil fuels that can be converted crude oil, natural gas, or coal.

Fossil fuel are currently used as a source of energy in machine and equipment applied in the farming industry. Mechanization has been made possible due to this type of fuel availability thus larger farms have been prepared for cultivation.In addition, other processes such as planting,weeding and harvesting are currently performed by farming machines which are propelled by fossil energy. So in general, fossil fuels in the farming industry has led to increase in amount of crop harvested because more farms are under cultivation and farming process is now mechanized. However, due to use of machines and energy, the production cost has increased, thus to cover for this increased cost, the prices for food products increases, making the cost of food commodities to rise.

What is the instantaneous velocity v of the particle at t=10.0s?
algol [13]
The instantenous velocity is just the slope of the graph at a certain instant. Since the graph is a straight line, its instantenous velocity is uniform through out. v = dx / dt = (40 - 10) / (50 - 0) = 0.6 m/s.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

What quantities determine the resistance of a piece of material? Choose all that apply.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Option (a), (b) and (c)

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor depends on the length of the conductor, area of crossection of the conductor and the nature of the conductor.

The formula for the resistance is given by

R = ρ x l / A

Where, ρ is the resistivity of the conductor, l be the length of the conductor and A be the area of crossection of the conductor.

So, It depends on the length, area and the type of material.
