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

The correct answer would be C. it moves at a constant speed. The troposphere(the layer our weather is in) is not nearly high enough for gravity to be different at different altitudes.

Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer. ​
8090 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

If the radio waves transmitted by a radio station have a frequency of 76.5 mhz, what is the wavelength of the waves, in meters?
____ [38]
Given: Velocity of light    c = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Frequency f = 7.65 x 10⁷/s

Required: Wavelength λ = ?

Formula:  λ = c/f

λ = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s/7.65 x 10⁷/s

λ = 3.92 m

50 POINTS !!!
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a) I = 464 kg m²,  b)  K = 631 .6 J, c)  v = 8.25 m / s

Explanation:

a) the moment of inertia of point particles is

          I = ∑ m_i r_i²

in this case

          I = 8 5² + 3 (-2) ² + 7 (-6) ²

          I = 464 kg m²

b) The kinetic energy is

          K = ½ I w²

          K = ½ 464 1.65²

          K = 631 .6 J

c) linear and angular velocity are related

          v = w r

          v = 1.65 5

          v = 8.25 m / s

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m
