Ropes 3 m and 5 m in length are fastened to a holiday decoration that is suspended over a town square. The decoration has a mass

of 3 kg. The ropes, fastened at different heights, make angles of 52° and 40° with the horizontal. Find the tension in each wire and the magnitude of each tension. (Use g = 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the tension in ropes be T₁ and T₂ . Ropes are making angle of 52 and 40 degree with the horizontal . The vertical component of tension will add up together to balance the weight of the decoration

T₁ sin52 + T₂ sin40 = 3 x 9.8

.788 T₁ + .643 T₂ = 29.4

The horizontal component of tension will add up to zero because the decoration piece is at rest .

T₁ cos52 + T₂ cos40 = 0

.615 T₁ -  .766 T₂ = 0

T₁ =  1.24 T₂

Substituting this value of T₁ in earlier equation , we have

.788 x 1.24 T₂ + .643 T₂ = 29.4

1.62 T₂ = 29.4

T₂ = 18.15 N

T₁ = 1.24 x 18.15 = 22.51 N .

A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. What would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles?
AnnyKZ [126]

To answer this question, it helps enormously if you know
the formula for momentum:

           Momentum = (mass) x (speed) .

Looking at the formula, you can see that momentum is directly
proportional to speed.  So if speed doubles, so does momentum.

If the car's momentum is 20,000 kg-m/s now, then after its speed
doubles, its momentum has also doubled, to 40,000 kg-m/s.

ANSWER

Mass: The resistance of an object to acceleration, size-dependent

Volume: The amount of space an object occupies

Boiling point: The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapor.

Melting point: The temperature at which a solid melts and turns to liquid

Density: Size-independent

Solubility: The ability of a substance (solvent) to dissolve when placed in a liquid (solute)

Magnetism: Size-dependent

EXPLANATION:

Mass: the more mass something has, the harder it is to accelerate. This is somewhat intuitive, but is also demonstrated in newton's third law. It's size-dependent because for an object of a given density, the size (volume) will change the mass.

Volume: big objects take up more space. If you put an apple in bucket filled to the brim with water, a little water will splash out, because the apple is now occupying the space that the water used to, but if you put in a watermelon, a lot of water will splash out, because the watermelon is taking up even more space.

Boiling point: when a liquid gets too hot, it will change to gas (example: water to steam)

Melting point: when a liquid gets too cold, it will change to a solid (example: water to ice)

Density: how much mass there is in a given volume. A sphere made of lead will have more mass than a sphere made of wood, even if they are the same size. Size-independent because a big lead sphere has the same density as a small lead sphere, they just have different masses.

Solubility: some substances dissolve in certain solvents, other's don't.

Magnetism: size-dependent because a bigger magnet is stronger than a smaller one if they are identical in every other way. More space means more domains means a stronger magnet.
