Answer:

If the driver is wearing a seat belt, the seat belt rather than the windshield applies the unbalanced force that stops the driver's forward motion. The force from the seat belt is applied over a longer time, so the force causes less damage.

Your friend's 10.8 g graduation tassel hangs on a string from his rearview mirror. When he accelerates from a stoplight, the tas
Nitella [24]

The tension in the string holding the tassel and the vertical will the tension in the string

  • T = 0.1953 N
  • Ф = 34.4 °

<h3>What is the tension in the string holding the tassel. ?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Tension is  mathematically given as

TCos\theta = mg

Therefore

TCos6.58^{o} = 19.8*10^{-3}*9.8

T = 0.1953 N

b).

Where

T* sin \theta = ma

0.1953*Sin6.58 \textdegree  = 19.8*10^{-3}*a

a = 1.13 m/s^2

In conclusion

T* sinФ = ma

2msinФ = ma

2sinФ = a

sin\theta = \frac{a}{2}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{a}{2} \\\\\theta= sin^{-1}\frac{1.13}{2}

Ф = 34.4 °

In conclusion, The tension in the string holding the tassel and the vertical will the tension in the string

T = 0.1953 N

Ф = 34.4 °
