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

A pitcher throws a 0.14-kg baseball toward the batter so that it crosses home plate horizontally and has a speed of 42 m/s just
kykrilka [37]

Answer

given,

mass of base ball = 0.14 kg

speed before it made the contact with the ball (V i) = 42 m/s

speed after batter hit the ball(V f) = - 48 m/s

a)                                            

impulse = change in momentum

             = m\times (V_f-V_i)      

             =0.14\times (-48-42)

             = -12.6 Kg m/s

Magnitude of impulse = 12.6 Kg m/s

b)                                                        

Force = \dfrac{impulse}{time}

          =  \dfrac{12.6}{0.005}

Force = 2520 N

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)

Why are a 12 ounce hard seltzer and 1.5 ounces of liquor both standard drinks? alchohol edu
Mars2501 [29]

12 ounce hard seltzer and 1.5 ounces of liquor are standard drinks because they contain the <u>same amount</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>pure alcohol</u>

<h3>What is standard drink?</h3>

This is  a term used to refer to the measure of alcoholic content of drinks  such that the drink should have 14 grams of pure alcohol or 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol. This concept of standard drink is applicable in the United States of America.

The equivalence of a standard drink is 5 percent alcohol as seen in regular beer, 12 percent as seen in wines, and 40 percent as seen in distilled spirits. This measurement in taken by the percentage of the total volume of the beverage. hence the quantity of the drink or beverage may be different as the percentage is what determines the amount of alcohol present

From standard drink chart both drinks has same amount of pure alcohol so they are said to be standard drinks
