Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and

began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 12.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? (show work)

Answer:

  117.6°

Explanation:

The vertical component of a force directed at some angle α from the vertical is ...

  F·cos(α)

We want the vertical components of the wolf's force (Fw) and Red's force (Fr) to total zero. So for some angle from vertical α, Red's force will satisfy ...

  Fw·cos(25°) + Fr·cos(α) = 0

  cos(α) = -Fw/Fr·cos(25°) ≈ -(6.4 N)/(12.5 N)·0.906308 ≈ -0.464030

  α ≈ arccos(-0.464030) ≈ 117.6°

Red was pulling at an angle of about 117.6° from the vertical.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's about 27.6° below the horizontal.

An air-plane has an effective wing surface area of 17.0 m² that is generating the lift force. In level flight the air speed over
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Surface area A= 17m²

The speed at the top v" = 66m/s

Speed beneath is v' =40 m/s

The density of air p =1.29kg/m³

Weight of plane?

Assuming that,

the height difference between the top and bottom of the wind is negligible and we can ignore any change in gravitational potential energy of the fluid.

Using Bernoulli equation

P'+ ½pv'²+ pgh' = P'' + ½pv''² + pgh''

Where

P' is pressure at the bottom in N/m²

P" is pressure at the top in N/m²

v' is velocity at the bottom in m/s

v" is velocity at the top in m/s

Then, Bernoulli equation becomes

P'+ ½pv'² = P'' + ½pv''²

Rearranging

P' — P'' = ½pv"² —½pv'²

P'—P" = ½p ( v"² —v'²)

P'—P" = ½ × 1.29 × (66²-40²)

P'—P" = 1777.62 N/m²

Lift force can be found from

Pressure = force/Area

Force = ∆P ×A

Force = (P' —P")×A

Since we already have (P'—P")

Then, F=W = (P' —P")×A

W = 1777.62 × 17

W = 30,219.54 N

The weight of the plane is 30.22 KN

Two resistors with values of 6.0 ohms and 12 ohms are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a 2.0
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

4A

Explanation:

According to ohm's law;

E = IRt where;

E is the source voltage = 24volts

I is the total current flowing in the circuit = ?

Rt is the total effective resistance in the circuit.

To find Rt, we will resolve the resistors in parallel first.

Since 6ohms and 12ohms resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance will give;

1/R = 1/6+1/12

1/R= 2+1/12

1/R = 3/12

3R = 12

R = 4ohms.

This resistor will now be in series with the 2.0ohms resistor to finally have;

Rt = 4+2

Rt = 6ohms

From the ohms law formula;

I = E/Rt

I = 24/6

I = 4Amperes

The total current in the circuit is 4A

This same currents will flow in the 2ohms resistor since same current flows in a series connected resistors.

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

I = mr^2

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

I\omega = constant

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase
