Answer: $T_1 = 77.2 \text N \newline T_2= 91.87 \text N$

Assuming the figure as attached.

The sum of Horizontal components of the Tension in the rope is zero or equal as they balance out each other. $T_1 sin40 \textdegree = T_2 sin50 \textdegree \newline T_1 = 1.19 T_2$

The sum of vertical components of the tension is equal to the weight of the block. $T_1 cos 40 \textdegree +T_2cos50 \textdegree = 120 \text N \newline 1.19T_2(0.766 )+T_2 0.64 = 120 \text N T_2 = 77.2 \text N T_1 = 1.19 T2 = 1.19 \times 77.2 \text N = 91.87 \text N$

The weight should be shared between the two string equally. Therefore, tension in each string, T is;

T = 120 N/2 = 60 N

Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. One satellite orbits with a speed v at a distance r from the center o

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

c)At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion:

$G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's centre

v is the speed of the satellite

Re-arranging the equation, we write

$r = \frac{GM}{v^2}$

so we see from the equation that when the speed is higher, the distance from the Earth's centre is smaller, and when the speed is lower, the distance from the Earth's centre is larger.

Here, the second satellite orbit the Earth at a speed less than v: this means that its orbit will have a larger radius than the first satellite, so the correct answer is

c)At a distance greater than r

Answer:

i think..its fraction that its have multiple fractions on it..if you minus the 397 000-355 it should be 381+ so i say if you get the 5 multiply it by 9!! so you will get it!

How does your power output in climbing the stairs compare to the power output of a 100-watt light bulb? if your power could have

cricket20 [7]

1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is
$E=mgh=(80 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=3924 J$
So the power output is
$P= \frac{E}{t}= \frac{3924 J}{30 s} \sim 130 W$

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.
