Answer:

1655.5 N

Explanation:

We resolve the forces on the rope into horizontal and vertical components. Since the only vertical force exerted on the rope is the weight of the man, this weight equals the vertical components of the tensions on both sides of the rope .

The only horizontal forces acting on the rope are horizontal components of both tensions on both sides. Since the hiker doesn't move sideways, they cancel out and he is balanced. So, the net horizontal force is zero.

Let T be the tension in the rope. So, each vertical component on side A is Tsin35° and that on side B is Tsin65°. Let the weight of the man be W = mg where m = mass of hiker = 250 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So, since the hiker balances, Tsin35° + Tsin65° = mg

0.5736T + 0.9063T = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s²

1.4799T = 2450 N

dividing both sides by 1.4799, we have

T = 2450 N/1.4799

T = 1655.52 N

T ≅ 1655.5 N

So, the tension in the rope equals T = 1655.5 N

A certain dielectric with a dielectric constant = 24 can withstand an electric field of 4 107 V/m. Suppose we want to use this d
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field E = 4 x 10⁷ V / m

Dielectric constant k = 24

capacitance of capacitor

C = kε₀ A / d

d = plate separation

A =  plate area

C = .89 x 10⁻⁶

V / d = electric field

for minimum d , electric field will be maximum

V / d  = 4 x 10⁷

1930 / d = 4 x 10⁷

d = 1930 / 4 x 10⁷

d = 482.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

= 48.25 x 10⁻⁶ m

C = kε₀ A / d

.89 x 10⁻⁶ = 24 ε₀ A / d

A = .89 x 10⁻⁶  X d /  24 ε₀

A = .89 x 10⁻⁶  X 48.25 x 10⁻⁶  /  24  x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= 42.9 / 212.4

= .2019 m²

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.
serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

The diagram below shows the layers of a rock having a trilobite. which statement about the rock fossils is true?
emmainna [20.7K]

Actually the greatest information we can extract from the graph is that the lower the fossil is located beneath the rock, the older it is. So we can see that fossil A is the oldest, trilobite and fossil B came together, and fossil C is the youngest. From the choices, the answer is:

 

D. fossil B belongs to the same period as the trilobite

Suppose the maximum safe average intensity of microwaves for human exposure is taken to be 2.50 W / m 2 . If a radar unit leaks
MArishka [77]

Answer:

 r = 0.56 m

Explanation:

The power emitted by the radar is evenly distributed in a sphere, so let's use the ratio of intensity and power

              I = P / A

              A = P / I

              A = 10.0 / 2.50

              A = 4 m²

Let's find the radius of the sphere of this area

          A = 4π r²

         r = √ A / 4π

         r = √ 4 / 4π

         r = 0.56 m
