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).

Two astronauts, A and B, both with mass of 60Kg, are moving along a straight line in the same direction in a weightless spaceshi

sveta [45]

Answer:

$V=14m/s$

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that

Mass of A and B is 60kg

Speed of A=2m/s

Speed of B=1m/s

Mass of bag =5kg

Generally the momentum of the astronaut A and bag is mathematically given as

$M_A=(60+5)*2$

$M_A=130kgm/s$

Generally to avoid collision the speed of astronaut be should be less than or equal to that of astronaut A with the bag

Therefore for minimum requirement speed of astronaut A should be given by astronaut B's speed which is equal to 1

Therefore

$130=(60*1)=(5*v)$

$V=14m/s$

A measuring microscope is used to examine the interference pattern. It is found that the average distance between the centers of

diamong [38]

Answer:

2n t = m λ₀ , R = 0.240 mm

Explanation:

The interference by regency in thin films uses two rays mainly the one reflected on the surface and the one reflected on the inside of the film.

The ray that is reflected in the upper part of the film has a phase change of 180º since the ray stops from a medium with a low refractive index to one with a higher regrading index,

-This phase change is the introduction of a λ/2 change

-The ray passing through the film has a change in wavelength due to the refractive index of the medium

λ₀ = λ / n

Therefore Taking into account this fact the destructive interference expression introduces an integer phase change, then the extra distance 2t is

2 t = (m’+ ½ + ½) λ₀ / n

2t = (m’+1) λ₀ / n

m = m’+ 1

2n t = m λ₀

With m = 0, 1, 2, ...

Where t is the thickness of the film, n the refractive index of the medium, λ the wavelength

The thickness of a hair is the thickness of the film t

2R = t

R = t / 2

R = 0480/2

R = 0.240 mm

: The truck is to be towed using two ropes. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each rope in order to develop

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0$

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)$

⇒ $Fa=2.24Fb$

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950

⇒ $Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950$

⇒ $2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950$

⇒ $Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5$

⇒ $Fa=2.24*Fb$

$=2.24*345.5$

$=773.93$

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

A lens of focal length 15.0 cm is held 10.0 cm from a page (the object ). Find the magnification .

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Magnification, m = 3

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the lens, f = 15 cm

Object distance, u = -10 cm

Lens formula :

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

v is image distance

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-10)}\\\\v=-30\ cm$

Magnification,

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{-30}{10}\\\\m=3$

So, the magnification of the lens is 3.
