Answer:

The force exerted by each string is 25 N

Explanation:

Net Force

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

The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the

Elanso [62]

The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the increase in organic matter in the water. Aquatic organisms breathe and use oxygen. Large amounts of oxygen are consumed by the decomposition of bacteria (when there are large amounts of dead matter to decompose, there will be a significant number of bacteria). Examples: dead organic matter (algae), wastewater, garden waste, oils and fats, all this results in a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water.

RC time constant circuit if R 50 KOC-21 a TOSS c. 1.05 s . what is the expected RC value b. 10.55 d. 0.105 s

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Time constant of RC circuit is 0.105 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, $R=50\ K\Omega=5\times 10^4\ \Omega$

Capacitance, $C=2.1\ \mu F=2.1\times 10^{-6}\ F$

We need to find the expected time constant for this RC circuit. It can be calculated as :

$\tau=R\times C$

$\tau=5\times 10^4\times 2.1\times 10^{-6}$

$\tau=0.105\ s$

So, the time constant for this RC circuit is 0.105 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur

Doss [256]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer: 10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.
