Answer:

T1 = T2 = 602.33 N

Explanation:

I attached an image of the forces diagram below.

The x component of the forces for this cases is:

\Sigma F_x=T_1cos\theta-T_2cos\theta=0\\\\T_1cos\theta=T_2cos\theta\\\\T_1=T_2

And the y components:

\Sigma F_y=T_1sin\theta+T_2sin\theta-W=0\\\\T_1=T_2=T\\\\\Sigma F_y=2Tsin\theta=W\\\\T=\frac{W}{2sin\theta}

The angle is calculated by using the information about the length of the cable and the vertical distance of the traffic light:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{15})=3.81\°

Thus, you obtain:

T=\frac{80N}{2(sin3.81\°)}=601.33N

hence, the tension in both segments of the cable is 602.33 N

1pt A cannon fires a 5-kg ball horizontally from a
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.

then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:

a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)

Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.

if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s

and:

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t

Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)

And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i
hammer [34]

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex
