a)The tension in the vertical strand will be 0.00049 N.

b))The tension in the horizontal strand will be 0.001284 N.

c)The ratio of tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand will be  2.62.

<h3>What is tension force?</h3>

The tension force is described as the force transferred through a rope, string, or wire as it is pulled by opposing forces.

Given data;

Mass of spiderweb = 5.00 ✕ 10⁻⁵ kg

The tension in a horizontal strand of a spiderweb, Tₓ

The tension in a  vertical strand of a spiderweb, Tₐ

The angle at which the strand sags, Θ = 10.0°

R is the ratio of  tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand

a)

From the FBD,

The tension  in the vertical strand is equal to the weight of the spider;

Tₐ = W

Tₐ = mg

Tₐ= 5 x 10⁻⁵ kg x 9.8 m / s²

Tₐ= 0.00049 N.

(b)

The super's total vertical forces are zero since it is not moving the value of the tension in the horizontal strand;

Tₓ = mg/( 2sinΘ)

Tₓ = 5 x 10⁻⁵ kg x 9.8 m /s² / ( 2 sin 11° )

Tₓ= 0.001284 N.

c)

R is the tension in the vertical strand divided by the tension in the horizontal strand.

R= Tₐ / Tₓ

R= 0.001284 N / 0.00049 N

R= 2.62

Hence, the tension in a vertical strand of a spiderweb, the tension in a horizontal strand of a spiderweb, and the ratio of tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand will be 0.00049 N, 0.001284 N, and 2.62 respectively.

Consider the Uniform Circular Motion Gizmo configured as shown. Notice that, under the current settings, |a|=0.50m/s2. What chan
Eddi Din [679]

To increase the centripetal acceleration to 2.00 m/s^2, you can double the speed or decrease the radius by 1/4

Explanation:

An object is said to be in uniform circular motion when it is moving at a constant speed in a circular path.

The acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration, and it is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circular path

In the problem, the original centripetal acceleration is

a=0.50 m/s^2

We want to increase it by a factor of 4, i.e. to

a'=2.00 m/s^2

We notice that the centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the radius, so we can do as follows:

- We can double the speed:

v' = 2v

This way, the new acceleration is

a'=\frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a

so, 4 times the original acceleration

- We can decrease the radius to 1/4 of its original value:

r'=\frac{1}{4}r

So the new acceleration is

a'=\frac{v^2}{(r/4)}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a

so, the acceleration has increased by a factor 4 again.

For a cylindrical capacitor, the capacitance does not depend on which of the following values?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Capacitance of cylindrical capacitor does not depends on the amount of charge on the conductors

Explanation:

Consider a cylindrical capacitor of length L, inner radius R₁ and outer radius R₂, permitivity ε₀ constant then capacitance of cylindrical capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{2\pi \epsilon_{o}L}{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1}} }

From this equation it is clear that capacitance of cylindrical capacitor is independent of the amount of charge on the conductors where as directly  proportional permitivity constant and length of cylinder where as inversely proportional to natural log of ratio of  R₂ and R₁

What do you need to calculate the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle
Ira Lisetskai [31]
In a block and tackle, some friction in the pulleys will reduce the mechanical advantage of the machine. To include friction in a calculation of the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, divide the weight of the object being lifted by the weight necessary to lift it.

Hope this helps

sweet [91]

Answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 units.

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the equation P = 2L + 2W. With W = 12 units and L = 18 units, substituting the values in the equation above:

P = 2(18 units) + 2(12 units)

P = 36 units + 24 units

P = 60 units

A large raindrop-the type that lands with a definite splat-has a mass of 0.0014 g and hits your roof at a speed of 8.1 m/s. a. W
DENIUS [597]

Answer

given,

mass of the drop, m = 0.0014 g

speed of the drop, u = 8.1 m/s

a) Change in momentum is equal to impulse

   final velocity of the drop, v = 0 m/s

   J = m ( v - u )

   J = 0.0014 x 10⁻³ x ( 0 - 8.1 )

   J = -1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s

impulse of the roof = - J = 1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s

b) time, t = 0.37 m s

   impact of force = ?

  we know

     J = F x t

   1.134 x 10⁻⁵ = F x 0.37 x 10⁻³

     F =  0.031 N

the magnitude of the force of the impact is equal to F =  0.031 N
