The tension in the string is 36 N.

To find the answer, we need to know about pseudo acceleration.

<h3>What's pseudo acceleration?</h3>
  • When an object is placed on a vehicle, it experiences a pseudo acceleration in the opposite direction of the motion of the vehicle.
  • Magnitude of the pseudo acceleration is same as that of the acceleration of vehicle.
<h3>What's the pseudo acceleration of a mass suspended in a lift that's moving downward with an acceleration of 2.6 m/s²?</h3>
  • Here, the acceleration of the lift is 2.6m/s², so the mass suspended by a string inside it will feel a pseudo acceleration of 2.6m/s² upward.
  • So the effective acceleration of the mass = acceleration due to gravity - pseudo acceleration = 9.8 - 2.6 = 7.2 m/s²
<h3>What's the tension of the string suspending the mass?</h3>

Tension of the string= mass × effective acceleration

= 5 × 7.2 = 36 N

Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the string is 36 N.

A rocket of mass m is to be launched fromplanet X, which has a mass M and a radius R. What is the minimum speed that the rocket
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The minimum speed = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

                      Escape velocity = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.

Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b
Ainat [17]

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

The sun will probably end up as a white dwarf. How will it be different then from what it is today
just olya [345]

Answer:

The differences that will be observed are;

1) The Sun will become faint and will no longer be yellow but rather appear white and will no longer be visible (become invisible) by unassisted vision as we can see the Sun today

2) The size of the Sun will shrink to a size comparable to the size of the Earth

3) The Sun will cool down and will no longer radiate as much heat

4) The nuclear reactions that generate energy on the Sun's will seize and the and the heat from the Sun will be from residual thermal energy

5) The core, which is the hottest part of the Sun will no longer be hydrogen but carbon and oxygen
