Answer:

There’s a tangential velocity and centripetal force. The object moves in a circle because it’s falling towards the center of the circle (point directly under string) but the velocity is such that the object never gets closer to the center

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

12.3 seconds

Explanation:

time in air = 2(v)/g

2(100sin(37))/9.8

You need to repair a gate on the farm. The gate weighs 100 kg and pivots as indicated. A small diagonal bar supports the gate an

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The force is $F = 3920 \ N$

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The weight of the gate is $G = 100\ kg$

The vertical component of F is $F_y = F\ sin \theta$

From the diagram , taking moment about the pivot we have

$W_g * 2 - F_y * 1 = 0$

Where $W_g$ is the weight of the gate evaluated as

$W_g = m_g * g = 100 * 9.8 = 980 \ N$

=> $980 * 2 - Fsin(30) * 1 = 0$

=> $F = \frac{1960}{sin(30)}$

=> $F = 3920 \ N$

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m$

$\lambda=8.67\ mm$

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.

When a body is moving with a uniform velocity, the acceleration is ___?

denis23 [38]

According to the formula :
a=ΔV / ΔT
When a body is moving with a uniform velocity, the acceleration is zero. That's it. You should remember, that velocity is not constant whereas speed is constant.

The trade winds are tropical winds that blow toward the Equator. Choose the statement that best explains why the trade winds blo

AveGali [126]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because the Equator receives the most heat energy.

The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
