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.

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed? If an object is rolling wit
salantis [7]

Answer:

v = r\omega

Explanation:

If the object is rolling without slipping, every unit of rotated angle equals to a distance perimeter rotated.

Suppose the object complete 1 revolution within time t. The angular distance is 2π rad. Its angular velocity is 2π/t

The distance it covered is its circumference, which is 2πr, and so the speed is 2πr/t

So the linear speed compared to angular speed is

\frac{v}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi r/t}{2\pi /t} = r

v = r\omega

Two forces act on an object. One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N direct
xeze [42]

Answer:

8 N North.

Explanation:

Given that,

One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.

We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the object.

Let North is positive and South is negative.

Net force,

F = 10 N +(-2 N)

= 8 N

So, the magnitude of net force on the object is 8 N and it is in North direction (as it is positive). Hence, the correct option is (d) "8N north".

An eight-turn coil encloses an elliptical area having a major axis of 40.0 cm and a minor axis of 30.0 cm. The coil lies in the
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

9.25 x 10^-4 Nm

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 8

major axis = 40 cm

semi major axis, a = 20 cm = 0.2 m

minor axis = 30 cm

semi minor axis, b = 15 cm = 0.15 m

current, i = 6.2 A

Magnetic field, B = 1.98 x 10^-4 T

Angle between the normal and the magnetic field is 90°.

Torque is given by

τ = N i A B SinФ

Where, A be the area of the coil.

Area of ellipse, A = π ab = 3.14 x 0.20 x 0.15 = 0.0942 m²

τ = 8 x 6.20 x 0.0942 x 1.98 x 10^-4 x Sin 90°

τ = 9.25 x 10^-4 Nm

thus, the torque is 9.25 x 10^-4 Nm.
