I would say it reflects the sun easily. That’s also how we see it :)
ANSWER
T₂ = 10.19N
EXPLANATION
Given:
• The mass of the ball, m = 1.8kg
First, we draw the forces acting on the ball, adding the vertical and horizontal components of each one,
In this position, the ball is at rest, so, by Newton's second law of motion, for each direction we have,

The components of the tension of the first string can be found considering that they form a right triangle, where the vector of the tension is the hypotenuse,

We have to find the tension in the horizontal string, T₂, but first, we have to find the tension 1 using the first equation,

Solve for T₁,

Now, we use the second equation to find the tension in the horizontal string,

Solve for T₂,

Hence, the tension in the horizontal string is 10.19N, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:
Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

where,
v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)
vo: initial speed = 36m/s
x: distance traveled = 980m
a: deceleration of the car= ?
Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

where,
m: mass of the car = 820 kg
a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2
Replace the previous values and simplify:

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N
Answer:
See the explanation below.
Explanation:
If you connect the three bulbs 20 W each will have a total power of 60W.
Now we need to understand to assign the meaning of the word gap, that is, if the circuit is open at that point or if there is no bulb connected at that point.
If the circuit is open at Point 2, there will be no current in the circuit, so the battery will drain faster with the three bulbs 20W.
In the second event, where gap means that there are no bulbs connected at that point, it means that you have two bulbs connected in series of 80W each.
In this case the bulbs will consume 160W thus drain the battery faster than the three 20W bulbs connected in series.
