Answer:

This value is less than the maximum tension of 500 lbs, making it safe for man to go to the tip flap

Explanation:

We must work on this problem using the rotational equilibrium equations and then they compared the tension values that the cable supports.

Let's start with fixing a reference system on the hinge of the flag, we take as positive the anti-clockwise turn

They indicate the weight of the pole W₁ = 120 lb and a length of L = 9 ft, the weight of the man W₂ = 150, we assume that the cable is at the tip of the pole

- $T_{y}$ L + W₂ L + W₁ L / 2 = 0

T_{y} = W₂ + W₁ / 2

T_{y} = 120 + 150/2

T_{y} = 195 lb

we use trigonometry to find the cable tension

sin 30 = T_{y} / T

T = T_{y} / sin 30

T = 195 / sin 30

T = 390 lb

This value is less than the maximum tension of 500 lbs, making it safe for man to go to the tip flap

T < 500 lb

Which force changes the lithosphere by building up the surface?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

The volcanic eruptions are the ones that manage to cause changes to the lithosphere by building up new material on the surface. Through the volcanic eruptions we have release of pyroclastic material on the surface, and more importantly and in much higher amount lava flows. The lava flows quickly cool off on the surface on the Earth, and as they do they pile up new layers of igneous rocks, thus new crust on the surface of the Earth, causing changes on the lithosphere and shaping it for the foreseeable future.

Given the indices of refraction n1 and n2 of material 1 and material 2, respectively, rank these scenarios on the basis of the p

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$c>d>f=a>b>e$

Explanation:

When a pair of medial has greater difference between the their individual refractive indices with respect to vacuum then it has a greater deviation between the refracted ray and the incident ray.

According to the Snell's law:

$\rm refractive\ index\ (n)=\frac{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ incident\ medium}{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ refracted\ medium}$

$n_1-n_2=1.33-1.00\\=0.33$

$n_2-n_1=1.46-1.33$

$=0.23$

$n_2-n_1=2.42-1.33\\=1.09$

$n_2-n_1=1.46-1.00\\=0.46$

$n_1-n_2=1.50-1.33\\=0.17$

$n_2-n_1=1.33-1.00\\=0.33$

$c>d>f=a>b>e$

what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that starts at rest and moves 300m down the gutter in 22.4 sec

exis [7]

<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time taken. It has both magnitude and direction. In this problem, the change in velocity would first have to be calculated. Velocity is distance divided by time. Therefore, the velocity here would be 300 m divided by 22.4 seconds. This gives a velocity of 13.3928 m/s. Since acceleration is velocity divided by time, it would be 13.3928 divided by 22.4, giving a final solution of 0.598 m/s^2.</span>

A simple watermelon launcher is designed as a spring with a light platform for the watermelon. When an 8.00 kg watermelon is put

olga_2 [115]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force from Hooke's law, the force since Newton's second law and the potential elastic energy.

Since the forces are balanced the Spring force is equal to the force of the weight that is

$F_s = F_g$
