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.

Answer:

When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

What is specific heat capacity?

Specific heat capacity is the quantity

of heat required to raise a unit mass of

a substance by 1 kelvin.

Specific heat capacity of water and sand

{<em>refer to the above attachment}</em>

Δθ = Q/mc

Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time.The velocity of the first airplane is 700 m/h at a heading of 31.3 the velocity
MArishka [77]

Here in order to find out the distance between two planes after 3 hours can be calculated by the concept of relative velocity

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

here

speed of first plane is 700 mi/h at 31.3 degree

v_1 = 700 cos31.3\hat i + 700 sin31.3\hat j

v_1 = 598.12\hat i + 363.7\hat j

speed of second plane is 570 mi/h at 134 degree

v_2 = 570 cos134 \hat i + 570 sin134 \hat j

v_2 = -396\hat i + 410\hat j

now the relative velocity is given as

v_{12} = (598.12 + 396)\hat i + (363.7 - 410)\hat j

v_{12} =994.12\hat i -46.3 \hat j

now the distance between them is given as

d = v* t

d = (994.12 \hat i - 46.3 \hat j)* 3

d = 2982.36\hat i - 138.9\hat j

so the magnitude of the distance is given as

d = \sqrt{2982.36^2 + 138.9^2}

d = 2985.6 miles

so the distance between them is 2985.6 miles

An ideal transformer has 75 turns in the primary coil and n turns in the secondary coil. a 120 v rms 60hz ac voltage source is c
denpristay [2]

think you messed up the symbol for resistor as resistors are measured in ohms where the symbol used for ohms is Greek omega

solving for average power in secondary coil:

average power =(current rms)^2*resistance⇒with a little algebra:

current rms=(√average power/resistance)

current rms=√160W/10Ω

current rms=4amps.

average power is also equal to current rms*voltage rms

with some algebra we can solve for voltage in the secondary wire:

voltage rms= average power/ current rms

voltage rms= 160W/4A

voltage rms=40Volts

now that we have voltage in the soecondary we can solve for the amount of turns in the secondary: Voltage secondary/voltage primary=number of turns in secondary/ number of turns in primary. using some algerbra we can solve for number of turns in secondary: (Voltage secondary/voltage primary)*number of turns in primary=number of turns in secondary

(40V/120V)*75turns=number of turns in secondary

number of turns in secondary=25turns

Which of these is NOT a possible type of energy transformation?
Leona [35]
It would be A because Light energy can't be used to make a Nuclear Weapon.
Electricity turns on a light bulb so B is scientifically correct.
If potential energy can be turned to Kinetic, it can also be switched. so C is scientifically correct
Ever heard of Geothermal power plants? So D is scientifically correct.
Meanwhile, A is impossible. so it is the answer you want to choose. Because the question asked for the one which is impossible.
