During a storm, a tree limb breaks off and comes to rest across a barbed wire fence at a point that is not in the middle between

two fence posts. The limb exerts a downward force of 176 N on the wire. The left section of the wire makes an angle of 12.5° relative to the horizontal and sustains a tension of 413 N. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to horizontal) of the tension that the right section of the wire sustains.

Answer:

Magnitude - 11.83 Degree

Direction - 422.42 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Downward force on wire 176 N

Angle made by left section of wire 12.5 degree with horizontal

Tension force = 413 N

From figure

Applying quilibrium principle at point A

The vertical and horizontal force is 0

then we have

$Tcos\theta = 413 N$ ........1

$176 = 413 sin 12.5 + Tsin\theta$ .......2

$Tsin\theta = 176 - 89.39 = 86.6$ .......3

divide equation 3 by 1

we get

$\theta = tan^{-1} (0.2096)$

$theta = 11.83^o$ ...........4

from equation 3 and 4

$T = \frac{86.6}{sin 11.83}$

T = 422.42 N

Answer:

a. 12.12°

b. 412.04 N

Explanation:

Along vertical axis, the equation can be written as

T_1 sin14 + T_2sinA = mg

T_2sinA = mg - T_1sin12.5 ....................... (a)

Along horizontal axis, the equation can be written as

T_2×cosA = T_1×cos12.5 ......................... (b)

(a)/(b) given us

Tan A = (mg - T_1sin12.5) / T_1 cos12.5

= (176 - 413sin12.5) / 413×cos12.5

A = 12.12 °

(b) T2 cosA = T1 cos12.5

T2 = 413cos12.5/cos12.12

= 412.04 N

The total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

<em>Initial momentum of the returner, </em> $P_i_1$ <em> = 0 kgm/s</em>
<em>The initial momentum of the diving player, </em> $P_i_2$ <em> = 130 kgm/s</em>

The total momentum of the players after collision is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

$P_f = P_i_1 + P_i_2\\\\P_f = 0 + 130\\\\P_f = 130 \ kgm/s$

Thus, the total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

A steel ball and a wooden ball of the same diameter are released together from the top of a tower. In the absence of air resista

ella [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The steel ball and the wooden ball do not have the same force acting on them because their masses are different. But, they have the same acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s².

Using the equation of motion under freefall, s = ut +1/2gt². Since u = 0,

s = 1/2gt² ⇒ t = √(2s/g)

Since. s = height is the same for both objects, they land at the same time neglecting air resistance.

PLSLPSLLPSLPSLPS HELP I ONLY HAVE 5 MINS PLEASE

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

0.19m/s²

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u) = 50×1000/60×60

=13.88 m/s

Final velocity(v) = 36.5×1000/60×60

=10.13 m/s

Acceleration(a) = v-u/t

=10.13-13.88/19.5

a= -0.19m/s²

-a = 0.19m/s²

The magnitude of retar dation is 0.19m/s²

After flying for 15 min in a wind blowing 42 km/h at an angle of 19° south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is 48

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

Explanation:

Whenever we are solving a physics problem, it's really useful to start by drawing a diagram of the problem (See picture attached). It will help us visualize the problem better.

Now, we know that the plane flew for an amount of time of 15 minutes. For our dimensions to be the same, we need to turn those 15min to hours, like this:

$15min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=0.25hr$

Once our time is rewritten as hours, we can now calculate the velocity towards north of the plane.

$V=\frac{distance}{time}$

the plane traveled a distance to the north of 48km so the velocity is:

$V=\frac{48km}{0.25hr}$

so

V=192km/hr j

Now, we can calculate the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind. The problem states that the wind is blowing at 42km/hr at an angle of 19° south of east, so the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind are:

$V_{x}=42km/hr*cos(-19^{o} )=39.71 i$

and

$V_{y}=42km/hr*sin(-19^{o} )=-13.67 j$

So the velocity of the wind can be expressed as a vector as:

$V_{wind}=(39.71i - 13.67j)km/hr$

Once we know this, we can find the velocity of the plane with respect of the wind on x and on y:

$V_{plane x}=V_{plane/wind x}+V_{wind x}$

$V_{plane/wind x}=V_{plane x}-V_{wind x}$

$V_{plane/wind x}=(0-39.71 i)km/hr$

$V_{plane/wind x}= -39.71 i km/hr$

and

$V_{plane y}=V_{plane/wind y}+V_{wind y}$

$V_{plane/wind y}=V_{plane y}-V_{wind y}$

$V_{plane/wind y}=192km/hr j - (- 13.67j)km/hr$

$V_{plane/wind x}= 205.67 j km/hr$

So the velocity of the plane with respect to the wind can be rewritten as:

$V_{plane/wind x}= (-39.71i + 205.67 j) km/hr$

Since the problem asks us to find the speed of the plane with respect to the wind, this means that we need to find the magnitude of the velocity, since the speed is a scalar defined to be the magnitude of the velocity.

so:

$speed=\sqrt{(-39.71)^{2}+(205.67)^{2} }$

speed= 209.47 km/hr

Therefore, the speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr
