Answer:

The length of the flagpole is approximately 87.43 m

Explanation:

The given parameters of the cable attached to the flagpole are;

The point along the flagpole at which the cable is attached = 32.0 m

The angle with respect to the ground at which the raising of the flagpole is halted = 60.0°

The downward force exerted by the cable, $F_v$ = 1.233 × 10⁴ N

The force exerted by the cable to the left = 1.233 × 10⁴ N

Let 'W' represent the weight of the flagpole, at equilibrium, we have;

The sum of vertical forces = 0

Therefore;

$F_v$ + W - R = 0

W - R = -1.233 × 10⁴ N

Taking moment about the support at the base of the pole, we get;

1.233 × 10⁴ × d × cos(60.0°) - 1.233 × 10⁴ ×d× sin(60.0°) + W × d/2 ×cos(60.0°) = 0

∴ W × d/2 ×cos(60.0°) ≈ 4513.093·d

W = 2 × 4513.093/(cos(60.0°)) ≈ 18,052.373 N

R = 18,052.373 + 1.233 × 10⁴ ≈ 30,382.373

R ≈ 30,382.373 N

Taking moment about the point of attachment of the cable to the ground, we have;

W × ((d/2) × cos(60.0°) + 32) = R × 32

∴ (d/2) = ((30,382.373 × 32/18,052.373) - 32)/(cos(60.0°)) ≈ 43.71281

d = 2 × 43.71281 ≈ 87.43

The length of the flagpole, d ≈ 87.43 m

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement co

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.

A 3.5 kg object moving in two dimensions initially has a velocity v1 = (12.0 i^ + 22.0 j^) m/s. A net force F then acts on the o

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The work done by the force is 820.745 joules.

Explanation:

Let suppose that changes in potential energy can be neglected. According to the Work-Energy Theorem, an external conservative force generates a change in the state of motion of the object, that is a change in kinetic energy. This phenomenon is describe by the following mathematical model:

$K_{1} + W_{F} = K_{2}$

Where:

$W_{F}$ - Work done by the external force, measured in joules.

$K_{1}$ , $K_{2}$ - Translational potential energy, measured in joules.

The work done by the external force is now cleared within:

$W_{F} = K_{2} - K_{1}$

After using the definition of translational kinetic energy, the previous expression is now expanded as a function of mass and initial and final speeds of the object:

$W_{F} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2})$

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final speeds of the object, measured in meters per second.

Now, each speed is the magnitude of respective velocity vector:

Initial velocity

$v_{1} = \sqrt{v_{1,x}^{2}+v_{1,y}^{2}}$

$v_{1} = \sqrt{\left(12\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(22\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$v_{1} \approx 25.060\,\frac{m}{s}$

Final velocity

$v_{2} = \sqrt{v_{2,x}^{2}+v_{2,y}^{2}}$

$v_{2} = \sqrt{\left(16\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(29\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$v_{2} \approx 33.121\,\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, if $m = 3.5\,kg$ , $v_{1} \approx 25.060\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{2} \approx 33.121\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the work done by the force is:

$W_{F} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (3.5\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(33.121\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(25.060\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]$

$W_{F} = 820.745\,J$

The work done by the force is 820.745 joules.

4. A 1,000 kg truck moving at 10 m/s runs into a concrete wall. It takes 0.5 seconds for the truck to conipietery

Maru [420]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{h. 20 000 N}}$

Explanation:

Force is the change in momentum over time

F = Δp/Δt

1. Calculate the change in momentum

p₁ = mv₁ = 1000 kg × 10 m/s = 10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

p₂ = 0

Δp = p₂ - p₁= (0 - 10 000) kg·m·s⁻¹ = -10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

2. Calculate the force

$\begin{array}{rcl}F & = & \dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\& = & \dfrac{-10 000 \text{ kg$\cdot$m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}{\text{ 0.5 s}}\\\\& = & \textbf{-20 000 N}\\\end{array}\\\text{The negative sign shows that the force is exerted opposite to the direction of motion.}\\\text{The magnitude of the force is $\large \boxed{\textbf{20 000 N}}$}$

You open the refrigerator in your room and put in a case of room-temperature root beer. After an hour, the root beer is ice cold

agasfer [191]

Answer:

warmer

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can be transferred or converted from one from to another. In this question when the beer that is at room temperature is put in the fridge, it loses some heat energy. This heat energy is not destroyed, the fridge through multiple processes eventually releases this heat to the room through pipes at the back which is why they are normally warm. the heat from the food inside is expelled to the room. It is not lost.
