Answer:

Length of cable = 16.7 m

Distance from ground = 15.4

New angle between pole and cable = 58.5 degrees

Explanation:

The flagpole forms a right-angled triangle with the cable and the ground.

Let the adjacent side be the flagpole, the hypotenuse be the cable and the ground be the opposite side.

hypotenuse = h

adjacent = 6.8 m

distance from ground = d

angle = 66.0

cos 66 = 6.8/h

h = 6.8/cos 66

h = 16.7 m

tan 66 = d /6.8

d = 6.8 * tan 66

d = 15.3 m

If the cable is brought 4.2 m closer to the pole, new distance = 15.3 - 4.2 = 11.1 m

let new angle be x

tan x = 11.1/6.8

x = tan⁻¹ (11.1/6.8)

x = 58.5 degrees

The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3. A metal sample has a mass of 52.0 grams and a volume of 17.1 cubic centimeters. Could the
Fudgin [204]
 Answer:  
__________________________________________________
            No;  the sample could not be aluminum;
since the density of aluminum, " 2.7 g/cm³ " , is NOT close enough to the density of the sample, " 3.04 g/cm³ " .
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Density is expressed as "mass per unit volume" ;

  in which:
     "mass, "m", is expressed in units of "g" (grams);  and:
     "Volume, "V", is expressed in units of "cm³ " (such as in this problem); or                                                   in units of "mL" ;
__________________________________________________
            {Note the exact conversion:  " 1 cm³ = 1 mL " .}. 
__________________________________________________
  The formula for density:  D = m/V ;

Given:  The density of aluminum is:  2.7 g/cm³.

Given:  A sample has a mass of 52.0 g ; and Volume of 17.1 cm³ ; could it be aluminum?
_________________________________________________________
Let us divide the mass of the sample by the volume of the sample;
by using the formula:
___________________________________________
            D = m / V ;  

     and see if the value is at, or very close to "2.7 g/cm³ ".  

If it is, then it could be aluminum.
____________________________________________________
The density for the sample:

  D = (52.0 / 17.1)   g/cm³ = 3.0409356725146199 g/cm³ ;
                                              →round to "3 significant figures" ;
                                          = 3.04 g/cm³ .
_______________________________________________
No; the sample could not be aluminum; since the density of aluminum, 
   "2.7 g/cm³ "   is NOT close enough to the density of the sample,
                        "3.04 g/cm³ " .

A student produces a power of p = 0.87 kw while pushing a block of mass m = 75 kg on an inclined surface making an angle of θ =
Paul [167]

When block is pushed upwards along the inclined plane

the net force applied on the block will be given as

F_{net} = mg sin\theta + \mu_k mg cos\theta

here we know that

m = 75 kg

\theta = 8.5 degree

\mu_k = 0.16

now plug in all values into this

F_{net} = 75\times 9.8 sin8.5 + 0.16 \times 75\times 9.8 cos8.5

F = 225 N

now for finding the power is given as

P = Fv

0.87 \times 10^3 = 225 \time v

v = \frac{870}{225} = 3.87 m/s

Say that you are in a large room at temperature TC = 300 K. Someone gives you a pot of hot soup at a temperature of TH = 340 K.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:0.061

Explanation:

Given

T_C=300 k

Temperature of soup T_H=340 K

heat capacity of soup c_v=33 J/K

Here Temperature of soup is constantly decreasing

suppose T is the temperature of soup at any  instant

efficiency is given by

\eta =\frac{dW}{Q}=1-\frac{T_C}{T}

dW=Q(1-\frac{T_C}{T})

dW=c_v(1-\frac{T_C}{T})dT

integrating From T_H to T_C

\int dW=\int_{T_C}^{T_H}c_v(1-\frac{T_C}{T})dT

W=\int_{T_C}^{T_H}33\cdot (1-\frac{300}{T})dT

W=c_v\left [ T-T_C\ln T\right ]_{T_H}^{T_C}

W=c_v\left [ \left ( T_C-T_H\right )-T_C\left ( \ln \frac{T_C}{T_H}\right )\right ]

Now heat lost by soup is given by

Q=c_v(T_C-T_H)

Fraction of the total heat that is lost by the soup can be turned is given by

=\frac{W}{Q}

=\frac{c_v\left [ \left ( T_C-T_H\right )-T_C\left ( \ln \frac{T_C}{T_H}\right )\right ]}{c_v(T_C-T_H)}

=\frac{T_C-T_H-T_C\ln (\frac{T_C}{T_H})}{T_C-T_H}

=\frac{300-340-300\ln (\frac{300}{340})}{300-340}

=\frac{-40+37.548}{-40}

=0.061
