Answer:
C. Weight is mass times the acceleration of gravity.
Explanation:
Weight is the force exerted by gravity. Force is equal to mass times acceleration.
Answer:
Equal to 5000N
Explanation:
The stress on the material is defined by force per unit of cross-sectional area. So it depends on the force and the diameter of the wire, which is the same for both wires. The material that defines the breaking point, is also the same. Therefore, both wires have their breaking point the same at 5000N. The wire length plays no role in here.
Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.
Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !
Explanation:
Let magnitude of the two forces be x and y.
Resultant at right angle R1= √15N) and at
60 degrees be R2= √18N.
Now, R1 = √(x² + y²) = √15,
R2= √(x² + y² +2xycos50) = √18.
So x² + y² = 15,
and x² + y² + 1.29xy = 18,
therefore 1.29xy = 3,
y = 3/1.29x.
y = 2.33/x
Now, x2 + (2.33/x)2 = 15,
x² + 5.45/x² = 15
multiply through by x²
x⁴ + 5.45 = 15x²
x⁴ - 15x2 + 5.45 = 0
Now find the roots of the equation, and later y. The two values of x will correspond to the
magnitudes of the two vectors.
Good luck
