Answer:

56.7°

Explanation:

Imagine a rectangle triangle.

The triangle has 3 sides.

One side is the height of the tower, let's name it A.

Another side is the distance from the base of the tower to the point where the waire touches the ground. Let's name that B.

Sides A and B are perpendicular.

The other side is the length of the wire. Let's name it C.

From trigonometry we know that:

cos(a) = B / C

Where a is the angle between B anc C, between the wire and the ground.

Therefore

a = arccos(B/C)

a = arccos(552/1005) = 56.7°

A line from the Brackett series of hydrogen has a wavelength of 1945nm (or 1.0979x10^7m). From which state did the electron orig
Zarrin [17]
We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:

<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]

Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.

•• CP Two blocks connected by a light horizontal rope sit at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block AA has mass 15.0
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

(a) T= 38.4 N

(b) m= 26.67 kg

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Kinematics

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² (Formula 2)

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

v₀=0, d=18 m , t=5 s

We apply the formula 2 to calculate the accelerations of the blocks:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

18= 0+  (1/2)*a*(5)²

a= (2*18) / ( 25) = 1.44 m/s² to the right

We apply Newton's second law to the block A

∑Fx = m*ax

60-T = 15*1.44

60 - 15*1.44 = T

T = 38.4 N

We apply Newton's second law to the block B

∑Fx = m*ax

T = m*ax

38.4 = m*1.44

m= (38.4) / (1.44)

m = 26.67 kg
