Answer:

he same direction the magnitude of the resultant is equal to the scalar sum of the magnitude of the forces, but if they are applied in different directions the magnitude must be found using the Pythagorean theorem

Explanation:

When there are several applied forces, if they are all in the same direction the magnitude of the resultant is equal to the scalar sum of the magnitude of the forces, but if they are applied in different directions the magnitude must be found using the Pythagorean theorem, so which the resulting dowry is less than the sum of the magnitudes.

Let's carry out an example with two forces, F1 and F2 of equal magnitudes

if they are in the same direction

F_total = F₁ + F₂ = 2 F

if they are at 90º

F_total = $\sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}= \sqrt{2} \ F$

if they are at 180º

F_total = F₁ -F₂ = 0

A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. The speed of light is 3.00 × 108 m/s. How many miles are there in o

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

(a) $5.88\times 10^{12}mi$

Explanation:

We have given speed of light $c=3\times 10^8m/sec$

Given time = 1 year =365 days

We know that in 1 minute = 60 sec

1 hour = 60×60 = 3600 sec

In one day = 24 hour = 24×60×60=86400 sec

So in 365 days = 365×86400 $=3.1536\times 10^7sec$

We know that distance = speed ×time $=3.1536\times 10^7\times 3\times 10^8=9.46\times 10^{15}m$

We have given that 1 mi = 1609 m

So $9.46\times 10^{15}m=\frac{9.46\times 10^{15}}{1609}=5.88\times 10^{12}mi$ So option (a) is correct

State a situation in which force is applied on a body, but no work is done

LenaWriter [7]

If you press on your arm force is applied work done is if it moves.
One answer could be if I was to press my hand on a table.
Have a great day!

Una prenda de 320gramos de ropa gira en el interior de una lavadora si dicha lavadora tiene 40 cm y gira con una frecuencia de 4

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Período del tambor: $T = 0.25\,s$ , fuerza sobre la prenda: $F \approx 80.852\,N$ , velocidad lineal del tambor: $v \approx 10.053\,\frac{m}{s}$ , velocidad angular del tambor: $\omega \approx 25.133\,\frac{rad}{s}$ .

Explanation:

La expresión tiene un error por omisión, su forma correcta queda descrita a continuación:

"Una prenda de 320 gramos de ropa gira en el interior de una lavadora si dicha lavadora tiene un radio de 40 centímetros y gira con una frecuencia de 4 hertz. Halle a) el período, b) la velocidad angular, c) la fuerza con la que gira la prenda y d) la velocidad lineal de la lavadora."

El tambor gira a velocidad angular constante ( $\omega$ ), en radianes por segundo, lo cual significa que la prenda experimenta una aceleración centrífuga ( $a$ ), en metros por segundo al cuadrado. En primer lugar, calculamos el período de rotación del tambor ( $T$ ), en segundos:
