Answer:

615 N

Explanation:

If θ is the angle from vertical and T is the rope tension

θ = arcsin (2.0 / 3.5) = 34.85°

Summing vertical forces to zero

Tcosθ - mg = 0

T = 90.0(9.81) / cos34.85 = 1,075.85 N

Summing horizontal forces to zero

F - Tsinθ = 0

F = 1075.85sin34.85 = 1075.85(2.0/3.5) = 614.772... ≈ 615 N

First, we must find the vertical distance traveled upwards by the ball due to the throw. For this, we will use the formula:

2as = v² - u²

Because the final velocity v is 0 in such cases

s = -u²/2a; because both u and a are downwards, the negative sign cancels

s = 14.5² / 2*9.81
s = 10.72 meters

Next, to find the time taken to reach the ground, we need the height above the ground. This is:
45 + 10.72 = 55.72 m

We will use the formula 
s = ut + 0.5at²

to find the time taken with the initial velocity u = 0.

55.72 = 0.5 * 9.81 * t²

t = 3.37 seconds

Which forces are shown on a free body diagram?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

What is a Free Body Diagram?

The free body diagram helps you understand and solve static and dynamic problem involving forces. It is a diagram including all forces acting on a given object without the other object in the system. You need to first understand all the forces acting on the object and then represent these force by arrows in the direction of the force to be drawn.

An 50kg car travels at 2m/s. What is the car's Kinetic energy? <br> 100J<br> 200J<br> 50J
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The answer is 100J.

Explanation:

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. In this question, the mass is equals to 50kg and the velocity is 2m/s

Now,

25kg×4m/s^2 = 100kgm/s^2 or 100J
