Answer:

Option B and C are True

Note: The attachment below shows the force diagram

Explanation:

The weight of the two blocks acts downwards.

Let the weight of the two blocks be W. Solving for T₁ and T₂;

w = T₁/cos 60° -----(1)

w = T₂/cos 30° ----(2)

equating (1) and (2)

T₁/cos 60° = T₂/cos 30°

T₁ cos 30° = T₂ cos 60°

T₂/T₁ = cos 30°/cos 60°

T₂/T₁ =1.73

Therefore, option a is false since T₂ > T₁

Option B is true since T₁ cos 30° = T₂ cos 60°

Option C is true because the T₃ is due to the weight of the two blocks while T₄ is only due to one block.

Option D is wrong because T₁ + T₂ > T₃ by simple summation of the two forces, except by vector addition.

Pions have a half-life of 1.8 x 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves an accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance ove
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × 10^{-8} s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × 10^{8} m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed   .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × 10^{-8} ×  0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m

A woman is straining to lift a large crate, without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follow
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Force P is acting upward

C is vertical contact Force

W is the weight of the crate

As P is unable to move the Block therefore Normal reaction keeps on acting on block

thus we can say that

P-W+C=0

P=W-C

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 14 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h =
crimeas [40]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Velocity of rock after 2 seconds = 6.56 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

 We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Here height of rock in meters, h = 14t-1.86t^2

Comparing both the equations

    We will get initial velocity = 14 m/s(already given) and \frac{1}{2} a = -1.86

     So,  Acceleration, a = -3.72 m/s^2

 Now we have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

 When time is 2 seconds we need to find final velocity.

     v = 14 - 3.72 * 2 = 6.56 m/s.

  So, Velocity of rock after 2 seconds = 6.56 m/s

If the force of gravity between a book of mass 0.50 kg and a calculator of 0.100 kg is 1.5 × 10-10 N, how far apart are they?  (
valkas [14]
The gravitational force between two masses m₁ and m₂ is
F=G \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{d^{2}}
where
G = 6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²), the gravitational constant
d =  distance between the masses.

Given:
F = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
m₁ = 0.50 kg
m₂ = 0.1 kg

Therefore
1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ N = (6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))*[(0.5*0.1)/(d m)²]
d² = [(6.67408x10⁻¹¹)*(0.5*0.1)]/1.5x10⁻¹⁰
     = 0.0222
d = 0.1492 m = 149.2 mm

Answer: 149.2 mm
