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.

A car drives around a curve with radius 400 m at a speed of 32 m/s. The road is banked at 7.0 degree. The mass of the car is 150
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the centripetal force to make the turn is 3,840 N.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the cured road, r = 400 m

speed of the car, v = 32 m/s

mass of the car, m = 1500 kg

The magnitude of the centripetal force to make the turn is given as;

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}

where;

Fc is the centripetal force

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\F_c = \frac{(1500)(32)^2}{400}\\\\F_c = 3,840 \ N

Therefore, the magnitude of the centripetal force to make the turn is 3,840 N.

What is the speed of a commercial jet which travels form New York to Los Angeles (4800) in 6 hours
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Speed = 800km}/hr

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4800km

Time = 6hr

Required

Determine the speed of the jet

The speed is calculated as:

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Substitute 4800 km for Distance and 6hr for Time

Speed = \frac{4800km}{6hr}

Speed = 800km}/hr

<em>Hence, the speed of the commercial jet is 800km/hr</em>

Drop a paper a piece of thermocol and a piece of plastic from a height of 10 to 15 feet not the time for each object to hit the
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation , all objects should take same time to fall from same height , but it does not happen when we see a paper , a thermocol and a plastic paper to fall .

It happens due to air resistance . In case of paper , this is most pronounced , so it falls slowest . In case of plastic paper , the resistance is least so it falls fastest .

If we squeeze the piece of paper to make a lump so that it does not remain flat , it will fall the fastest , because in this case the air resistance on it becomes the least .

A wave transfers _______ as it moves away from the source.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

A wave transfers energy as it moves away from the source.

Explanation:

A wave transfers energy as it moves away from the source. A wave is known to be a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from a point to the other without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself.

Let's take water as an example of a medium through which wave is transfered. As the water moves away from its source, the wave generates energy. The wave produces a motion which leads to transfer of kinetic energy as the medium moves from its source since kinetic energy is the energy acquired by a body by virtue of its motion.
