Answer:

N=5.36*10^{17}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Tensile strength of steel \sigma_c=370 MPa.=370*10^6

Cross-sectional area A= 1m^2

Generally the equation for Total Force is mathematically given by

 F = \frac{G M m}{r^2}

 F=\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7.35*10^{22}*5.97*10^{24}}{(384*10^3)^2}

Since this is the force of each cable

 F=\sigma_c NA

 F= 370*10^6*N*1

Therefore

 370*10^6*N*1=\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7.35*10^{22}*5.97*10^{24}}{(384*10^3)^2}

 N=5.36*10^{17}

A 160.-kilogram space vehicle is traveling along a straight line at a constant speed of 800. Meters per second. The magnitude of
natulia [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

Acceleration is equal to rate of change in velocity.

Here velocity is constant so acceleration is zero.

It means the net force acting on the vehicle is zero.

28. Sound can be heard around a corner because of
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Diffraction of sound wavelengths.

Explanation:

Diffraction-A wave is able to bend around a corner due to the effects of diffraction. sound aves are capable of bending around corners in the same magnitude as it's wavelength making it possible to hear sounds around corners.

An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

v=1.76t

The velocity is, by definition: v=\frac{dx}{dt}, so

dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}.

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s

At this time the velocity is: v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is 6.2225\frac{m}{s}, so:

t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s
