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.

A loop of wire lays flat on a horizontal surface in an area with uniform magnetic field directed vertically down. Magnetic field
zimovet [89]

Answer:

B. counterclockwise

Explanation:

We shall apply Lenz's law to find direction of induced current . According to it , direction of induced current is such that the magnetic field produced  by it will try to nullify the change in  magnetic field that produces it. Increase in magnetic field in down ward direction is producing it so to nullify it , magnetic field induced will be in upward direction.  For it current induced will be anticlockwise.

A bullet with a mass ????=12.5 g and speed ????=86.4 m/s is fired into a wooden block with ????=113 g which is initially at rest
skad [1K]

Answer:

a) 8.61 m/s, b) 5.73 m

Explanation:

a) During the collision, momentum is conserved.

mv = (m + M) V

(12.5 g) (86.4 m/s) = (12.5 g + 113 g) V

V = 8.61 m/s

b) After the collision, energy is conserved.

Kinetic energy = Work done by friction

1/2 (m + M) V² = F d

1/2 (m + M) V² = N μk d

1/2 (m + M) V² = (m + M) g μk d

1/2 V² = g μk d

d = V² / (2g μk)

d = (8.61 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s² × 0.659)

d = 5.73 m

Notice we used the kinetic coefficient of friction.  That's the friction when an object is moving.  The static coefficient of friction is the friction on a stationary object.  Since the bullet/block combination is sliding across the surface, we use the kinetic coefficient.
