Answer:

2 miles

Explanation:

Jimmy walked forward 3 miles east (to the right)

Then, he backtracked and walked 1 mile west (to the left)

This can be written as:

3 - 1 = ?

3 - 1 = 2

Therefore, Jimmy traveled a total of 2 miles.

Answer:

Minimum speed will be equal to 2.213 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given radius of the r = 2 m

Coefficient of friction $\mu =0.25$

At minimum speed frictional force will be equal to centripetal force

So $\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$\frac{v^2}{r}=\mu g$

$v=\sqrt{\mu rg}=\sqrt{0.25\times 2\times 9.8}=2.213m/sec$

So the minimum speed will be equal to 2.213 m/sec

How was the solar system formed? Please explain.

navik [9.2K]

Scientists believe that thesolar system was formed when a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star (called a supernova). This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas and dust.

Bingel [31]

The horizontal force is m*v²/Lh, where m is the total mass. The vertical force is the total weight (233 + 840)N.

Fx = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 

v = 32.3*2*π*7.5/60 m/s = 25.37 m/s 

The horizontal component of force from the cables is Th + Ti*sin40º and the vertical component of force from the cable is Ta*cos40º 

Thh horizontal and vertical forces must balance each other. First the vertical components: 

233 + 840 = Ti*cos40º 

solve for Ti. (This is the answer to the part b) 

Horizontally 

[(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 = Th + Ti*sin40º 

Solve for Th 

Th = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 - Ti*sin40º 

using v and Ti computed above.
