Answer: 3.36 N

Explanation:

The weight of the body acting downwards is balanced by the sine components of the tension acting in the upward direction. The cosine components balance each other.

We just have to find weight, so will calculate only sine component.

Fg = 2 T sin θ

T = 3.7 N

θ = 27°

⇒ Fg = 2 × 3.7 N × sin 27° = 3.36 N

Thus, the body held by two wires having tension 3.7 N suspended from a rigid support at an angle 27° has weight = 3.36 N

I'm not completely sure, but I think it's 3.4 newtons. I hope you get it correct.

Answer

The capacitor should be connected in parallel as parallel connection gives the arithmetic sum of capacitance which will give a corresponding sum of energy while capacitors in series gives the sum of the reciprocal if the individual capacitance

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. in 6.00 s, it rotates 44.5 rad. du

Klio2033 [76]

a. The disk starts at rest, so its angular displacement at time $t$ is

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

It rotates 44.5 rad in this time, so we have

$44.5\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac\alpha2(6.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Since acceleration is constant, the average angular velocity is

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2=\dfrac{\omega_f}2$

where $\omega_f$ is the angular velocity achieved after 6.00 s. The velocity of the disk at time $t$ is

$\omega=\alpha t$

so we have

$\omega_f=\left(2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.00\,\mathrm s)=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

making the average velocity

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{14.8\frac{\rm rad}{\rm s}}2=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

Another way to find the average velocity is to compute it directly via

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\Delta\theta}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{44.5\,\rm rad}{6.00\,\rm s}=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. We already found this using the first method in part (b),

$\omega=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. We already know

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

so this is just a matter of plugging in $t=12.0\,\mathrm s$ . We get

$\theta=179\,\mathrm{rad}$

Or to make things slightly more interesting, we could have taken the end of the first 6.00 s interval to be the start of the next 6.00 s interval, so that

$\theta=44.5\,\mathrm{rad}+\left(14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

Then for $t=6.00\,\rm s$ we would get the same $\theta=179\,\rm rad$ .

Is our existence a mistake of chemical reactions in the universe

Yuki888 [10]

This is my opinion so don't really take my word for it, but we as humans are an evolved species of mammals. So we are a lot more complex in our structure than most animals or insects, but then again through history we made lots of discoveries because we created new technology or out of pure curiosity tried new thing like building better civilizations, even though ours today is destroying the earth but besides the point, and new materials that we can use and all that. So we have made mistakes but that doesn't always mean we are a mistake as a whole
