Answer:

<em>The force exerted by each string is 25 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

The net force is the vector sum of forces acting on a body. The net force is a single force that represents the effect of the original forces on the body's motion. It gives the particle the same acceleration as all those actual forces together as described by Newton's second law of motion.

The picture described in the problem is hanging at rest supported by two vertical strings. This means that the net force acting on it is zero.

Assume the magnitude of each of these equal forces is F, and the picture has a weight of W=50 N, thus the net force is:

F + F - W

The positive signs indicate an upwards direction and the negative sign means a downwards direction. Since the net force is zero:

F + F - W = 0

2F = W

F = W/2 = 50 N/2

F = 25 N

The force exerted by each string is 25 N

How are steam powered boats different from sailboats
Alex
Steam powered boats run from an engine, using power, gears, and cranks to function.

Sailboats use no engine and rely on winds to move and change the direction of the boat.

Define Refraction and give some knowlegde about it
shepuryov [24]
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, caused by the change in the wave's speed. Examples of waves include sound waves and light waves. Refraction is seen most often when a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. Different types of medium include air and water. When a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes into water, the wave will slow and change direction.

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?
Andrej [43]
The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".

Multiple-Concept Example 6 reveiws the principles that play a role in this problem. A nuclear power reactor generates 2.3 x 109
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

change in mass = 2.41*10^{8}kg

Explanation:

The change in the mass can be computed by using the relation

E=\Delta mc^2\\\Delta m=\frac{E}{c^2}(1)

That is, the energy liberated comes from the mass of the nuclear fuel. The energy generated in one year is

E=Pt=2.3*10^{9}\frac{J}{s}*1 year*\frac{365.25 day}{1 year}*\frac{24h}{1 day}*\frac{3600s}{1h}=7.25*10^{16}J

Hence, by replacing in the equation (1) you have  (c=3*10^{8}m/s)

\Delta m=\frac{7.25*10^{16}J}{3*10^{8}\frac{m}{s}}=2.41*10^{8}kg

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
