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}

Big Al stands on a skateboard at a rest and throws a 0.5-kilogram rock at a velocity of 10.0 m /sec. Big Al moves back at 0.05 m
Vlada [557]
Let
his and skateboard's combined mass is x
we know
F1=-F2
0.5kg*10m/s=-0.05m/s xkg
5=0.05x(minus cancel with the m/s as it represented the opposite direction of velocity and now there is no velocity in this equation.. so minus is avoidable. and the kgs cancel out)
x=10
so their combined mass is a 100 kg.. (I hope I didn't mess thing up for you)

Why do we call the microscope a compound light microscope
Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

Types of light microscope

1. Compound , and 2. Stereo Microscope

Compound microscope has two lens system also called compound lens system. The objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The magnification provided by the objective lens is compounded by the eyepiece lens, the a higher magnification is observed.

A 5 kg block is sliding down a plane inclined at 30^0 with a constant velocity of 4 m/s. To determine the coefficient of frictio
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The necessary information is if the forces acting on the block are in equilibrium

The coefficient of friction is 0.577

Explanation:

Where the forces acting on the object are in equilibrium, we have;

At constant velocity, the net force acting on the particle = 0

However, the frictional force is then given as

F = mg sinθ

Where:

m = Mass of the block

g = Acceleration due to gravity and

θ = Angle of inclination of the slope

F = 5×9.81×sin 30 = 24.525 N

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is given as

24.525 N = μ×m×g × cos θ = μ × 5 × 9.81 × cos 30 = μ × 42.479

μ × 42.479 N= 24.525 N

∴ μ = 24.525 N ÷ 42.479 N = 0.577

If a football player collides with a goal post, what forces are at work?
AlekseyPX
When a footballer collides with the goal post, the forces at work are the action and reaction forces. The player will exert an action force on the goal post, and then a reaction force from the goal post will stop the player. The reaction force call will cause pain and even injury to the player.

Pe=___
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

H = start height (v = 0)

h = present height

v = present speed

assuming no friction

total energy = PE + KE

mgH = mgh + .5mv^2

if PE = KE then

mgH = mgh + mgh

h = H/2

potential energy = kinetic energy when object is at half its start height.
