The mass and tension due to the system are as follows:

The mass of the child and scale = 10.6 kg

The tension T, in the cord attaching the child to the scale = 104N

The tension T', in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling T' = 108.9 N

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is a type of pulling force due transmitted by means of a string or cable.

<h3>Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity</h3>

a) The mass of the child and scale = 104/9.81 = 10.6 kg

b) The tension T, in the cord attaching the child to the scale = scale reading = 104N

c) The tension T', in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling = scale reading + weight of scale

T' = 104 + (0.5 * 9.81)

T' = 108.9 N

d) The sketch is attached in the picture

In conclusion, the tension is force exerted on the cord due to the weight of the scale and the baby.

if a 5-kg bowling ball is projected upward witha velocity of 2.0 m/s, then what is the recoil velocity of the Earth(mass=6.0×10^

vitfil [10]

by the concept of momentum conservation we can say

if net force on a system of mass is ZERO then its momentum will remain conserved

Here a ball is projected upwards so if we take Ball + Earth as a system then total momentum of the system will remain conserved

Initially when ball is on the surface of earth the system has zero momentum and hence we can say after throwing the ball momentum of earth + ball must be zero

now using same equation we can say

$P_{ball} + P_{earth} = 0$

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2= 0$

given that

$m_1 = 5 kg$

$v_1 = 2 m/s$

$m_2 = 6 * 10^{24} kg$

from above equation velocity of earth will be

$v_2 = \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_2}$

$v_2 = \frac{5*2}{6 * 10^{24}}$

$v_2 = 1.67 * 10^{-24} m/s$

so above will be the recoil speed of earth

The volume of a gas at 59.0kPa is 600ml. if the pressure is increase to 138.0kPa, what will be the new volume?

likoan [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 256.52 mL</h3>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{59000 \times 600}{138000} = \frac{35400000}{138000} \\ = 256.521739...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A neutral atom of tin (Z = 50) has 69 neutrons. (a) How many protons does it have? (b) What is its mass number?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Protons = 50

Mass number = 119

Explanation:

A neutral of tin, Sn, has a Z value of 50 and neutrons are 69.

Z is the atomic number. The atomic number is equal to number of protons or number of electrons in an atom that is neutral i.e:

Z = PROTONS = ELECTRONS

So the number of protons = 50 since Z is 50

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>¦

The bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. To calculate mass number, we simply sum all the elementary particles in the nucleus i.e protons and neutrons. These particles are called the nucleons.

Mass number (A) = P + N

= 50 + 69

= 119

How much work is needed to stretch this spring a distance of 5. 0 cm , starting with it unstretched?

densk [106]

The work done by the unstretched spring is 5 J.

<h3>What is the Hooke's law?</h3>

Hooke's law states that the extension of a given material is directly proportional to the force applied as log as the elastic limit is not exceeded. Thus we have to know that; F = Ke

F = force applied

K = force constant

e = extension

Using the graph;

K = F/e

F = 200N

e = 5 cm or 5 * 10^-2 m

K = 200N/ 5 * 10^-2 m

K = 4000 N/m

Now;

Work = 1/2Ke^2

Work = 0.5 * 4000 N/m * (5 * 10^-2 m)^2

Work = 5 J
