Two window washers, Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00 m long, 395 N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends. Bob weighs 8

05 N and stands 1.00 m from the left end. Two meters from the left end is the 500 N washing equipment. Joe is 0.500 m from the right end and weighs 820 N. Given that the scaffold is in rotational and translational equilibrium, what are the forces on each cable

Answer:

- the forces on the left hand side is 1.038 kN

- the forces on the right hand side is 1.483 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question, as illustrated in the image below;

Length of the scaffold = 3 m

weight of the scaffold = 395 N

Weight of Bob = 805 N and stands 1 m from the left end

weight of washing equipment = 500N and on sits 2 m from the left end

Weight of Joe = 820 N and stand 0.500 m from the right end

so the force on the left cable will be;

$T_{left$ = $\frac{1}{3m}$ [ (805 N)( (3-1) m) + ( 395 N )( $\frac{3}{2} m$ ) + ( 500 N )(1m ) + ( 820 N)( 0.500m ) ]

$T_{left$ = $\frac{1}{3m}$ [ 1610 + 592.5 + 500 + 410 ]

$T_{left$ = $\frac{1}{3m}$ [ 3112.5 ]

$T_{left$ = 1037.5 N

$T_{left$ = 1.038 kN

Therefore, the forces on the left hand side is 1.038 kN

On the right hand side;

$T_{Right$ = ( 805 N + 395 N + 500 N + 820 N ) - 1037.5 N

$T_{Right$ = 2520 N - 1037.5 N

$T_{Right$ = 1482.5 N

$T_{Right$ = 1.483 kN

Therefore, the forces on the right hand side is 1.483 kN

padilas [110]

Answer:

a) λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m b) λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

The diffraction network is described by the expression

d sin θ= m λ

Where m corresponds to the diffraction order

Let's use trigonometry to find the breast

tan θ = y / L

The diffraction spectrum is measured at very small angles, therefore

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

We replace

d y / L = m λ

Let's place in the first order m = 1

Let's look for the separation of the lines (d)

d = λ L / y

d = 501 10⁻⁹ 9.95 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

d = 332.33 10⁻⁹ m

Now we can look for the wavelength of the other line

λ = d y / L

λ = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 8.55 10⁻²/15 10⁻²

λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m

Part B

The compound wavelength B

λ = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 12.15 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

A FBD of a rocket launching into space should include:

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

the force of the rocket engine pushing it up, the force of gravity pulling it down, maybe some force of air resistance as the rocket goes fast, hmmm Free Body Diagrams (FBD) should have any and all forces on the model, unless they are negligible . or so slight they really make little difference in the total outcome.

Consider the following:

Answer:

They have different wavelengths.

They have different frequencies.

They propagate at different speeds through non-vacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.

Explanation:

The complete question is

Consider the following:

a) radio waves emitted by a weather radar system to detect raindrops and ice crystals in the atmosphere to study weather patterns;

b) microwaves used in communication satellite transmissions;

c) infrared waves that are perceived as heat when you turn on a burner on an electric stove;

d) the multicolor light in a rainbow;

e) the ultraviolet solar radiation that reaches the surface of the earth and causes unprotected skin to burn; and

f) X rays used in medicine for diagnostic imaging.

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?

check all that apply to the above

They have different wavelengths.

They have different frequencies.

They propagate at different speeds through a vacuum depending on their frequency.

They propagate at different speeds through non-vacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.

They require different media to propagate.

All the above phenomena are due the electromagnetic wave spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel at a constant speed of 3 x 10^8 m/s in a vacuum. Within the spectrum, the different types of electromagnetic waves exists in different band range of frequencies and wavelengths unique to each of the waves, and the energy they carry. When these waves enter a non-vacuum medium, their speed change, depending on the nature of the material of the medium, and the frequency or the wavelength of the incoming wave.

An electron is moving northward in a magnetic field. The magnetic force on the electron is toward the northeast. What is the dir

ira [324]

To solve this problem we will use the vector concept given by the cross product between two perpendicular vectors and which results in a vector perpendicular to these two. From the definition of the Magnetic Force we have to

$\vec{F}=q(\vec{v}\times\vec{B})$

From the property of cross product the magnetic force should point in the direction perpendicular to the plane containing the vectors v and B.

The direction of velocity is north, and the direction of the magnetic force is northeast.

This cannot be the case, as the direction of magnetic force is not perpendicular to the direction of velocity of the charge.

Therefore the correct option for the direction of the magnetic field is <em>"This situation cannot exist because of the relative orientations of the velocity and force vectors" </em>

amm1812

Fnet=(115+106)-186= 34 N

mass=Force/g= 186N/9.8m/s^2 = 18.98 kg

a=fnet/mass => 34N/18.98kg = 1.79 m/s^2

so A= 1.8m/s^2
