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

ELEN [110]

Answer:

a) Time = 2.67 s

b) Height = 35.0 m

Explanation:

a) The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

$x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0_{x}}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$x_{f}$ : is the final position in the horizontal direction = 80 m

$x_{0}$ : is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

$v_{0_{x}}$ : is the initial velocity in the horizontal direction = 30 m/s

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (the stone is only accelerated by gravity)

t: is the time =?

By entering the above values into equation (1) and solving for "t", we can find the time of flight of the stone:

$t = \frac{x_{f}}{v_{0}} = \frac{80 m}{30 m/s} = 2.67 s$

b) The height of the hill is given by:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{f}$ : is the final position in the vertical direction = 0

$y_{0}$ : is the initial position in the vertical direction =?

$v_{0_{y}}$ : is the initial velocity in the vertical direction =0 (the stone is thrown horizontally)

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Hence, the height of the hill is:

$y_{0} = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*(2.67 s)^{2} = 35.0 m$

I hope it helps you!

Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance li

Anastasy [175]

Answer: 3.142656 × 10^16 feet

Explanation: Given that the

Speed = 982,080,000 ft/s, and

Time = 32,000,000 seconds

The formula for speed is:

Speed = distance/ time

Make distance the subject of formula

Since the time is second in one year and speed is ft/s, substitute both into the formula

Distance = speed × time

distance = 982,080,000 × 32,000,000

Distance = 3.142656 × 10^16 feet.

The distance of one light year in feet is 3.142656 × 10^16
