In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. A r

ider is towed at a constant speed by a rope that is at an angle of 19 ∘ from horizontal. The tension in the rope is 2300 N. The force of the sail on the rider is 30∘ from horizontal.What is the weight of the rider?

Answer:

W = 506.75 N

Explanation:

tension = 2300 N

Rider is towed at a constant speed means there no net force acting on the rider.

hence taking all the horizontal force and vertical force in consideration.

net horizontal  force:

F cos 30° - T cos 19° = 0

F cos 30° = 2300 × cos 19°

F = 2511.12 N

net vertical force:

F sin 30° - T sin 19°- W = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 19°

W =  2511.12 sin 30° - 2300 sin 19°

W = 506.75 N

Digiron [165]
All forces on the bullets cancel so that the net force on a bullet is zero, which means the bullet has zero acceleration and is in a state known as constant velocity. The bullet is moving at a constant value of velocity. Acceleration is the rate of velocity so having zero acceleration would mean that there is no change in velocity per unit of time.<span />

The formation of magma within Earth is NOT caused by which of the following processes? A. decompression (drop in pressure) B. ad
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D. loss of volatiles to the atmosphere

Explanation:

The name magma designates matter in a semi-fluid state - resulting from the fusion of silicates containing dispersed solid gases and minerals and other compounds that make up the rocks, at temperatures between 700 and 1200 ° C - that forms the region beneath the crust. land. When it is inside the earth it is specifically named magma and lava when it is ejected to the surface

There are three systems by which magma can be produced on earth:

<u> Temperature</u> rise by concentration of r<u>adioactive elements or by friction of lithospheric plates</u>.

<u> Pressure decrease,</u> since the melting point decreases.

Adding <u>water</u> A rock begins to melt earlier if it contains water because the –OH groups effectively break the Si-O bonds.

A rock is formed by a set of minerals, each of which has a characteristic melting point so a rock does not have a single melting point but a temperature range in which the rock melts into parts, leaving others solid parts. Between the point at which a solid rock begins to melt and the melting end (liquid point) the rock is partially molten.

The rise of magmas depends on their physical-chemical conditions (viscosity, density, volatile element content), on the tectonic peculiarities of the region where they are found and on the rocks to be traversed. Acid magmas are light and viscous, rise easily and cause large deposits. The basic magmas, of greater density, are less viscous and ascend with greater difficulty than the previous ones.

A certain satellite travels in an approximately circular orbit of radius 2.0 × 106 m with a period of 7 h 11 min. Calculate the
kap26 [50]

Answer: Mass of the planet, M= 8.53 x 10^8kg

Explanation:

Given Radius = 2.0 x 106m

Period T = 7h 11m

Using the third law of kepler's equation which states that the square of the orbital period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

This is represented by the equation

T^2 = ( 4π^2/GM) R^3

Where T is the period in seconds

T = (7h x 60m + 11m)(60 sec)

= 25860 sec

G represents the gravitational constant

= 6.6 x 10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2 and M is the mass of the planet

Making M the subject of the formula,

M = (4π^2/G)*R^3/T^2

M = (4π^2/ 6.6 x10^-11)*(2×106m)^3(25860s)^2

Therefore Mass of the planet, M= 8.53 x 10^8kg
