A bag of marbles is hanging motionless on a spring scale. What prevents the bag from falling?

Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

The components of vector A are:

Korvikt [17]

here as it is given that x component of the vector is positive while y component of the vector is negative so we can say the vector must inclined in Fourth quadrant.

So angle must be more than 270 degree and less than 360 degree

Now in order to find the value we can say that

$tan\theta = \frac{opposite\: side}{adjacent\: side}$

$tan\theta = \frac{8.6}{6.1}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}1.41$

$\theta = 54.65^0$

so it is inclined at above angle with X axis in fourth quadrant

Now if angle is to be measured counterclockwise then its magnitude will be

$\theta = 360 - 54.65 = 305.3^0$

so the correct answer will be 305 degree

A car changes speed from 25 m/s to 10 m/s in 240 seconds. Describe its acceleration.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (10 m/s - 25 m/s) / (240 s - 0 s)

a = -0.0625 m/s²

So the car decelerates at 0.0625 m/s².

A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 155 ft and 175 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenn

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

163.8 ft

Explanation:

In triangle ABD

$AB$ = 155 ft

$Cos63 = \frac{BD}{AB} = \frac{BD}{155}\\BD = 155 Cos63 \\BD = 70.4 ft$

$Sin63 = \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AD}{155} \\AD = 166 Sin63\\AD = 148 ft$

Using Pythagorean theorem in triangle ADC

$AC^{2} = AD^{2} + DC^{2} \\175^{2} = 148^{2} + DC^{2} \\DC = 93.4 ft$

$d$ = distance between the anchor points

distance between the anchor points is given as

$d = BD + CD = 70.4 + 93.4\\d = 163.8 ft$

Consider the position vs. time graph below for a woman's movement in a hallway. What is the woman's velocity from 4 to 5 s?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The answer is " $6\ \frac{m}{s}$ "

Explanation:

The formula for velocity:

$\to \overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}$

$=\frac{6}{1}\\\\=6\ \frac{m}{s}$
