A rope is attached to a block. The rope pulls on the block with a force of 240 N, at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal (t

his force is equal to the tension in the rope). What is the x-component of the force on the block due to the rope?

Answer:

X Component is 183.85N

Explanation:

The x component of the force on the block due to the rope;

X = F cos @ where if is the force, @ is the angle mad with the block.

X = F cos @

X = 240 cos 40

Cos 40= 0.7660, so

X = 240 × 0.7660

X component= 183.85N// rounded to two decimal places.

Answer:

The x-component of the force on the block due to the rope is 183.8 newtons

Explanation:

See the picture attached.

Because the force F on the block due the rope is applied at an angle of 40 degrees respect the horizontal, it has a component on x (Fx) and a component on y (Fy) we should find the x component. We should use trigonometric relations for right tringle. We need the equation that relates hypotenuse (F) and adjacent side (Fx), this relation is:

$cos 40 =\frac{F_x}{F}$

solving for Fx:

$F_x = F*cos 40 = 240*cos(40)$

$F_x = 183.8 N$

In an inertial frame of reference, a series of experiments is conducted. In each experiment, two or three forces are applied to

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Explanation:

$1.2 \mathrm{N} ; 2 \mathrm{N}$

2. $200 \mathrm{N} ; 200 \mathrm{N}$

4. $2 \mathrm{N} ; 2 \mathrm{N} ; 4 \mathrm{N}$

$5.2 \mathrm{N} ; 2 \mathrm{N} ; 2 \mathrm{N}$

$6.2 \mathrm{N} ; 2 \mathrm{N} ; 3 \mathrm{N}$

$8.200 \mathrm{N} ; 200 \mathrm{N} ; 5 \mathrm{N}$

In only the above cases (i.e 1,2,4,5,6,8 ) the object possibly moves at a constant velocity of $256 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

You should have noticed that the sets of forces applied to the object are the same asthe ones in the prevous question. Newton's 1st law (and the 2nd law, too) makes nodistinction between the state of re st and the state of moving at a constant velocity(even a high velocity).

In both cases, the net force applied to the object must equal zero.

Explica la relación entre momento de torsión y aceleración angular mencionando tres ejemplos Una varilla uniforme delgada mide 1

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

1) τ = I α whereby the torque is provided by the angular acceleration

2) L = 216 Kg m² / s

Explanation:

1) Let's start with Newton's second law

F = m a

multiply by the arm or perpendicular distance

F r = m a r

if the distance is not perpendicular a way of realizing the relations using the vector product

τ = F r = F x r

the bold are vectors. The angular and linear acceleration are related

a = α r=

τ = m (α r) r

τ = (m r²) α

the inertia of the rotational motion is

I = m r²

we substitute

τ = I α

whereby the torque is provided by the angular acceleration.

As an example we have:

* a spinning disk

* a ball rotating in the air

* a pulley

2) The rotational momentum is

L = I w

the moment of inertia of a rod that through its center

I = m L²

we substitute

L = m L² w

let's calculate

L = 6 1.5 2 16

L = 216 Kg m² / s

A spaceship is travelling at 20,000.0 m/s. After 5.0 seconds, the rocket thrusters are turned on. At the 55.0 second mark, the s

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$80 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the rocket in this problem,

u = 20,000 m/s

v = 24,000 m/s

t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s

Substituting,

$a=\frac{24000-20000}{50}=80 m/s^2$

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

Zanzabum

(a) $3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa$

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

$p=\frac{I}{c}$

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

$I=1000 W/m^2$

and substituting $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , we find the radiation pressure

$p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa$

(b) $4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

$A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2$

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

$F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N$

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

$m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg$

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$
