Answer: part a) both the tension and gravity vectors will be pointing downwards.

part b) the tension vector will be pointing upwards and the gravity will be pointing downwards.

Explanation:

part a) Since you are looking at the FBD for the steel cable here, the tension will be pointing downwards because the girder is hung from the cable which creates a downwards tension. Gravity will always point downwards, to the ground.

part b) Since you are looking at the FBD for the girder here, the tension will be pulled upwards because the cable is weighted which creates an upwards tension. Gravity will always point downwards, to the ground.

Sorry for the poor explanation, but hopefully this makes sense.

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 28.6 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

P= 454.11 N

Explanation:

Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).

$P= (M+m)*a\\a = \frac{P}{28.6 +4.3}\\a = \frac{P}{32.9}$

The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:

$F = m * a*\mu \\F= 4.3*0.710*\frac{P}{32.9}\\F=3.053*\frac{P}{32.9}$

In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:

$3.053*\frac{P}{32.9} = 4.3 * g\\\\P = \frac{4.3*9.8*32.9}{3.053} \\P= 454.11 N$

The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N

What compounds are you made of?

Vanyuwa [196]

I am made of literally THOUSANDS of compounds ... too many to list here.
But the one compound that's most abundant, and actually comprises almost
80% of my entire beautiful body, is the compound DiHydrogen Oxide, with
the molecular formula H₂O . This compound is commonly known as "water".

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves toward Earth?

Musya8 [376]

This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.

Which is the best example of the transfer of heat through radiation

boyakko [2]

Nitially the flame produces radiation which heats the tin can. The tin can thentransfers heat to the water through conduction. The hot water then rises to the top, in the convection process.
