Answer:

La magnitud de la masa del peso es 78.447 libras-masa.

Explanation:

La tensión es una fuerza de reacción de la cuerda causada por la acción de una fuerza externa. En este caso, esa fuerza externa es el peso que cuelga en el centro de la cuerda. Abajo hemos adjuntado una representación simplificada del enunciado.

Por las leyes de Newton, tenemos la siguiente ecuación de equilibrio conformada por tres fuerzas:

\vec T_{1} + \vec T_{2} + \vec W = (0, 0)\, [N] (1)

Donde:

\vec T_{1}, \vec T_{2} - Tensiones a cada lado de la cuerda, en newtons.

\vec W- Peso, en newtons.

Si sabemos que \vec T_{1} = T\cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha), \vec T_{2} = T\cdot (-\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) y \vec W = W\cdot (0, -1), entonces tenemos la siguiente ecuación vectorial:

T\cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) + T\cdot (-\cos\alpha, \sin \alpha) + W\cdot (0, -1) = (0,0)

T\cdot (0, 2\cdot \sin \alpha) = W\cdot (0, 1)

Esto permite reducir la anterior expresión a una fórmula escalar:

2\cdot T\cdot \sin \alpha = W

Donde \alpha es el ángulo de inclinación de la cuerda, medido en grados sexagesimales.

El ángulo de inclinación de la cuerda se determina mediante la siguiente fórmula trigonométrica inversa es:

\alpha = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{2\,ft}{10\,ft}\right)

\alpha \approx 11.310^{\circ}

Si conocemos que \alpha \approx 11.310^{\circ} y T = 200\,lbf, entonces la magnitud del peso es:

W = 2\cdot (200\,lb)\cdot \sin 11.310^{\circ}

W \approx 78.447\,lbf

En el Sistema Imperial, las fuerzas son medidas en forma gravitacional, entonces la magnitud de la fuerza gravitacional del peso equivale a la magnitud de su masa. En síntesis, la magnitud de la masa es 78.447\,lbm.

La magnitud de la masa del peso es 78.447 libras-masa.

Natural gas, a nonrenewable fossil fuel, is often seen as an alternative fuel in the worldwide transition to a renewable energy
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) Natural gas burns more efficiently and cleanly than other sources of carbon-based fossil fuels, thus contributing to a reduction in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Although fossil fuels such as coal and oil have carbon content, natural gas also has it in smaller proportions, which is why it is a good idea to use it as a transitional fuel. Although natural gas does not have the same specific heat as gasoline, its production is simpler since it does not require the expensive refining processes such as petroleum derivatives, which is why its production is more efficient.

Another facility is the amount of natural gas that is obtained from oil wells, this can be extracted and stored efficiently to prevent its spread into the atmosphere.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

When another battery is added to the circuit, the power supplied through the coil and to the magnet becomes greater leading to stronger magnetic field lines being produced.

Did the bigbang violate the law of conservation of energy and matter?
Pie
Under general relativity, there is no 'before the Big Bang'. The problem is that time is itself a part of the universe and is affected by matter and energy. Because of the huge densities just after the Big Bang, time itself is warped in such a way that it cannot go back before that event. It is somewhat like asking what is north of the north pole.

The conservation of matter and energy states that the total amount of mass and energy at one time is the same at any other time. Notice how time is a crucial part of this statement. To even talk about conservation laws, you have to have time.

The upshot is that the Big Bang did not break the conservation laws because time itself is part of the universe and started at the Big Bang and because the conservation laws need to have time in their statements.

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an
Nadya [2.5K]
Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is 
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
   = (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
   = 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm
