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}

Ber [7]

Answer:

+7.0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take rightward as positive direction.

So in this problem we have:

a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)

t = 4 s time interval

v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)

We can use the following equation:

v = u + at

Where u is the initial velocity

We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:

u = v - at = (-3.0 m/s) - (-2.5 m/s^2)(4 s)=+7.0 m/s

and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.

Which one of the following types of electromagnetic wave travels through space the fastest?
Setler [38]

Answer:

As a result, light travels fastest in empty space, and travels slowest in solids. In glass, for example, light travels about 197,000 km/s.

If the distance between two masses is tripled, the gravitational force between changes by a factor of
maw [93]

A. 1/9

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the two masses

r is the distance between the two masses

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the distance is tripled (increased by a factor 3), the magnitude of the force changes by a factor

\frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{1}{3^2}=\frac{1}{9}

An action force is 40 N to the right. The reaction force must be: A. 20 N left B. 40 N left C. 20 N right D. 40 N right
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must remember the third law of motion of Newton that states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Then, if the action force is 40 N to the right, the reaction force must be 40 N to the left.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

0.65  kg*m/s and 0.165 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 0.5kg

initial velolcity u=1.3m/s

final velocity v= 0.97m/s

Required

The change in momentum

Step two:

We know that the expression for impulse is given as

Ft= mv

Ft= 0.5*1.3

Ft= 0.65  kg*m/s

The expression for the change in momentum is given as

P= mΔv

substitute

Pt= 0.5*(1.3-0.97)

Pt= 0.5*0.33

Pt=0.165 kg*m/s
