650 N boy and a 419 N girl sit on a 150 N porch swing that is 2.0 m long. If the swing is supported by a chain at each end, what

The tension in the two chains T1 and T2 is 676.65 N and 542.53 N respectively.

<h3>Principle of moments</h3>

The Principle of Moments states that when a body is in equip, the sum of clockwise moment about a point is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment about the same point.

The formula for calculating moment is given below:

  • Moment = Force × perpendicular distance from the pivot

<h3>Calculating the tension in the chains</h3>

From the principle of moments:

Let tension in chain 1 be T1 and tension in chain 2 be T2.

T1 + T2 = 150 + 650 + 419

T1 + T2 =1219

Taking all distances from chain 1,

Sum of Moments = 0

419 × 0.5 + 150 × 0.85 + 650 × 0.9 = T2 × 1.7

T2 = 922/17

T2 = 542.35 N

Then, T1 = 1219 - 542.35

T1 = 676.65 N

Therefore, the tension in the two chains T1 and T2 is 676.65 N and 542.53 N respectively.

Answer:

Power = 21[W]

Explanation:

Initial data:

F = 35[N]

d = 18[m]

In order to solve this problem we must remember the definition of work, which tells us that it is equal to the product of a force for a distance.

Therefore:

Work = W = F*d = 35*18 = 630 [J]

And power is defined as the amount of work performed in a time interval.

Power = Work / time

Time = t = 30[s]

Power = 630/30

Power = 21 [W]

An observer sees a full moon in the night sky. What will the Moon's phase be 10 days later?
algol [13]
I'm pretty sure the moon would be a crescent within the 10 day period because it takes about 28 days for the moon to go through the different stages.

When measuring an unknown voltage with an analog VOM, you should first
Soloha48 [4]
If you have no idea what the voltage is that you're about to measure,
then you should set the meter to the highest range before you connect
it to the two points in the circuit. 

Analog meters indicate the measurement by moving a physical needle
across a physical card with physical numbers printed on it.  If the unknown
voltage happens to be 100 times the full range to which the meter is set,
then the needle may find itself trying to move to a position that's 100 times
past the highest number on the meter's face.  You'll hear a soft 'twang',
followed by a louder 'CLICK'.  Then you'll wonder why the meter has no
needle on it, and then you'll walk over to the other side of the room and
pick up the needle off the floor, and then you'll probably put the needle
in your pocket.  That will end your voltage measurements for that day,
and certainly for that meter. 

Been there.
Done that.

High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a 210-g golf club is traveling at 56 m/s just before it strikes a 46-g
tamaranim1 [39]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of golf club, m₁ = 210 g = 0.21 kg

Initial velocity of golf club, u₁ = 56 m/s

Mass of another golf ball which is at rest, m₂ = 46 g = 0.046 kg

After the collision, the club head travels (in the same direction) at 42 m/s. We need to find the speed of the golf ball just after impact. Let it is v.

Initial momentum of golf ball, p_i=m_1u_1=0.21\ kg\times 56\ m/s=11.76\ kg-m/s

After the collision, final momentum p_f=0.21\ kg\times 42\ m/s+0.046v

Using the conservation of momentum as :

p_i=p_f

11.76\ kg-m/s=0.21\ kg\times 42\ m/s+0.046v

v = 63.91 m/s

So, the speed of the  golf ball just after impact is 63.91 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
