Answer:

The wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees

Explanation:

It is given that,

To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground.

The hypotenuse is, H = 12 foot

The perpendicular distance is, P = 10 feet

The angle between the tree and the ground is 90 degrees

Using Pythagoras theorem as :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{P}{H}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{10}{12}$

$\theta=56.4^{\circ}$

So, the wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees. Hence, the correct option is (d).

A ball on a string travels once around a circle with a circumference of 2.0 m. The tension in the string is 5.0 N. how much work

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:0

Explanation:

Given

circumference of circle is 2 m

Tension in the string $T=5 N$

$2\pi r=2$

$r=\frac{2}{2\pi }=\frac{1}{\pi }=0.318 m$

In this case Force applied i.e. Tension is Perpendicular to the Displacement therefore angle between Tension and displacement is $90^{\circ}$

$W=\int\vec{F}\cdot \vec{r}$

$W=\int Fdr\cos 90$

$W=0$

Two small aluminum spheres, each of mass 0.0250 kilograms, areseparated by 80.0 centimeters.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Total number of electrons

$N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}$

electrons removed from each sphere

$N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}$

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

$f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}$

Explanation:

As we know that moles is defined as

$n =\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

$n = \frac{0.0250}{0.026982}$

$n = 0.93$

so number of atoms of Al in each sphere is given as

$N = 0.93(6.02 \times 10^{23})$

$N = 5.58 \times 10^{23}$

Now number of electrons in each atom is given as

atomic number = number of electrons in each atom = 13

total number of electrons in each sphere is

$N = 13 \times (5.58 \times 10^{23})$

$N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}$

Also we know that force of attraction between them is given as

$F= \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$1.00 \times 10^4 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)q^2}{0.80^2}$

$q = 8.4 \times 10^{-4} C$

now we have

$q = Ne$

$8.4 \times 10^{-4} = N(1.6 \times 10^{-19}$

$N = \frac{(8.4 \times 10^{-4})}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

$N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}$

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

$f = \frac{5.27 \times 10^{15}}{7.25 \times 10^{24}}$

$f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}$

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Torque τ =w ×0 = 0

Explanation:

We know that the torque is given by the product of the force and perpendicular distance between the force and the axis.

Here the gravity force act at the center and the rotational axis is also passing through the center.

Therefore the perpendicular distance between the force and the rotational axis would be zero.

Hence the torque will be

Torque = Force × Perpendicular distance

Torque = mg×0 = 0

Therefore the torque would be zero.
