Hi there!

We know that:

$\Sigma F_y = 0 \\\\\Sigma F_x = 0$

Begin by determining the forces in the vertical direction:

W = weight of traffic light

T₁sinθ = vertical component of T₁

T₂sinθ = vertical component of T₂

The ropes provide a horizontal force:

T₁cosθ = Horizontal component of T1

T₂cosθ = Horizontal component of T2

Thus:

0 = T₁cosθ - T₂cosθ

T₁cosθ = T₂cosθ

T₁ = T₂

Since the angles for both ropes are the same, we can say that:

T₁ = T₂

Sum the forces:

ΣFy = T₁sinθ + T₁sinθ - W = 0

2T₁sinθ = W

Now, we can begin by solving for the tensions:

2T₁sinθ = W

$T_1 = T_2 = \frac{W}{2sin\theta} = \frac{100}{2sin(37)} = \boxed{83.08 N}$

A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present).

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

159 N

Explanation:

The force of friction is a resistive force that acts against an object in motion (or on the verge of moving).

There are two types of force of friction:

Force of static friction: it occurs when the object is still at rest
Force of kinetic friction: it occurs when the object is sliding on a surface and it is in motion

In this problem, we are in the 2nd situation, so we want to calculate the force of kinetic friction.

This force is given by:

$F=\mu_k N$

where

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal force exerted on the object

For the sled and the girl in this problem,

$\mu_K = 0.25$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N = 636 N is the normal force

So the force of friction is

$F=(0.25)(636)=159 N$

Consider an insulated tank with a volume V = 2 L is separated into two equal-volume parts by a thin wall. On the left is an idea

steposvetlana [31]

Answer

given,

V = 2 L

the left is an ideal gas at P = 100 k Pa and T = 500 K

mass is constant

$m_1 = m_2$

$\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1} = \dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}$

Pressure is same because it's not changing due to process

$\dfrac{V}{500} = \dfrac{2 V}{T_2}$

$T_2 = 1000\ K$

$\Delta S_{univ} = \Delta S_{sys} + (\Delta S)_{surr}$

$\Delta S_{univ} =m(C_v ln (\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}))+ R ln (\dfrac{V_2}{V_1})$

$m = \dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}$

$m = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3 \times 2 \times 10^{-3}}{287\times 500}$

m = 1.39 x 10⁻³ Kg

$\Delta S_{univ} =1.39\times 10^{-3}(0.718 ln\ 2+ 0.287 ln (2)$

$\Delta S_{univ} =0.968\times 10^{-3}\ kJ/K$

chapter 2 linear motion problems a student launches an arrow upward with an unknown initial velocity. the arrow takes 2.3 second

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$V_{0}= 22.5\frac{m}{s}$ and Ymax=25.8m

Explanation:

Velocity at any time is given by $V=V_{0}sin\theta -gt$ . but when the arrow is on the top its velocity is zero and if it is launched upward the angle is 90°, so.

$0=V_{0} sin90-gt$

$V_{0}=gt=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}.2.3s=22.5\frac{m}{s}$

At the maximun height, position is given by $Ymax=V_{0}sin\theta.t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ , replacing $Ymax=22.5\frac{m}{s}x2.3s-\frac{1}{2}x9.8x(2.3)^{2}=25.8\frac{m}{s}$

Predict: During a solar eclipse, our view of the sun is blocked by the moon. In the diagramam, draw where you think the moon is

olya-2409 [2.1K]

As it states, the "Sun is blocked by the moon". This means, you'd draw the moon in front of the sun, filling most of sun in the diagram. In 2017, we actually got to experience this! Try and think back to any memories you may have looking through solar glasses.
