two horses on opposite sides of a narrow stream are pulling a barge along the stream. Each horse pulls with a force of 720N. The

ropes from the horses to a common point on the front of the barge from an angle of 60 degrees with each other. What is the resultant force exerted by the two horses?

Each horse's force forms a right angle triangle with the barge and subtends an angle of 60/2 = 30°. The resultant in the direction of the barge's motion is:
Fx = Fcos(∅)
We can multiply this by 2 to find the resultant of both horses.
Fx = 2Fcos(∅)
Fx = 2 x 720cos(30)
Fx = 1247 N

Which of the following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy?
SVEN [57.7K]

By definition, the law of conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Where,

Ei: initial energy

Ef: final energy

Therefore, no matter the type of energy, always the final energy is equal to the final energy.

Energy can be transformed into another type of energy. For example, the potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.

Also, energy is not created, nor destroyed.

Answer:

The following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy:

A. It states that the total energy in the universe keeps increasing.

Estimate the total number of bacteria and other prokaryotes in the biosphere of the earth. (assume the bacteria are found to a d
Fofino [41]
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

The power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance. If the power is 2,200 watts when the resistance is 25 ohm
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The value of resistance when power is 1100 watts = R_{2} = 50 ohms

Explanation:

Power P_{1} = 2200 Watts

Resistance R_{1} = 25 ohms

Power P_{2} = 1100 Watts

Resistance R_{2} = we have to calculate

Given that the power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance

⇒ P ∝ \frac{1}{R}

⇒ \frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} } = \frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }

⇒ \frac{1100}{2200} = \frac{25}{R_{2} }

⇒ R_{2} = 50 ohms

This is the value of resistance when power is 1100 watts.
