A crate with a mass of 175.5 kg is suspended from the end of a uniform boom with a mass of 94.7 kg. The upper end of the boom is

supported by a cable attached to the wall and the lower end by a pivot (marked X) on the same wall.
Calculate the tension in the cable.

The tension in the cable is equal to 323.5 N.

<h3>What is the tension in the cable?</h3>

The tension, T in the cable is determined by taking moments about the pivot marked X.

The angles of the boom and the cable with the horizontal are first calculated.

Angle of the boom with horizontal, θ = tan⁻¹(5/10) = 26.56°

The angle of cable with horizontal, B = tan⁻¹(4/10) = 21.80

Taking moments about the pivot:

175.5 * cos 26.56 + 94.7 * cos 26.56 * 0.5 = T (sin(26.56 + 21.80) * 1

Tension = 241.68/0.747

Tension = 323.5 N

In conclusion, the tension in the cable helps to suspend the crate.

Can you please help me? It’s a science question and I really don’t know the answer

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

A. It will continue traveling at the same speed.

Explanation:

I'm not 100% sure on this answer, but if I had this question I would be confident in this answer. It makes sense because unbalanced forces cause an object to start, stop, slow down, or speed up. Without these forces, the object should just keep traveling at the same speed.

I hope this helps! Let me know if it's right or not. ☺

Shelley is in an elevator that is traveling downward and slowing down at a rate of

liraira [26]

Answer:

N = 648.55[N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

∑F = Forces applied [N]

m = mass = 73.2 [kg]

a = acceleration = 0.950 [m/s²]

Let's assume the direction of the upward forces as positive, just as if the movement of the box is upward the acceleration will be positive.

By performing a summation of forces on the vertical axis we obtain all the required forces and other magnitudes to be determined.

$-m*g + N = -m*a\\$

where:

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

N = normal force (or weight) measured by the scale = 83.4 [N]

Now replacing:

$-(73.2*9.81)+N=-73.2*0.950\\-718.092+N=-69.54\\N = -69.54+718.092\\N = 648.55[N]$

The acceleration has a negative sign, this means that the elevator is descending at that very moment.

A parallel-plate capacitor has plates with an area of 451 cm2 and an air-filled gap between the plates that is 2.51 mm thick. Th

Nostrana [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Energy defined in the capacitors, as well as the capacitance and load. From these three definitions we will build the solution to the problem by defending the energy with the initial conditions, the energy under new conditions and finally the change in the work done to move from one point to the other.

Energy in a capacitor can be defined as

$E = \frac{1}{2}CV^2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^2}{C}$

Here,

V = Potential difference across the capacitor plates

Q = Charge stored on the capacitor plates

At the same time capacitance can be defined as,

$C = \epsilon_0 (\frac{A}{d})$

Here,

$\epsilon_0 =$ Vacuum permittivity constant

A = Area

d = Distance

Replacing with our values we have that,

$C = (8.85*10^{-12})(\frac{0.0451}{2.51*10^{-3}})$

$C = 1.5901*10^{-10}F$

PART A) Energy stored in the capacitor is

$E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2} (1.5901*10^{-10})(575)^2$

$E = 2.628*10^{-5}J$

PART B) We know first that everything that the load can be defined as the product between voltage and capacitance, therefore

$Q = CV$

$Q = (1.59*10^{-10})(575)$

$Q = 9.1425*10^{-8}C$

Now if $d = 10.04*10^{-3}m$ we have that the capacitance is

$C = \epsilon_0 (\frac{A}{d})$

$C = (8.85*10^{-12})(\frac{0.0451}{10.04*10^{-3}})$

$C = 3.9754*10^{-11}F$

Then the energy stored is

$E = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{C}$

$E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{(9.1425*10^{-8})^2}{3.9754*10^{-11}})$

$E = 1.051*10^{-4} J$

PART C) The amount of work or energy required to carry out this process is the difference between the energies obtained, therefore

$W = 1.051*10^{-4} J -2.628*10^{-5}J$

$W = 7.882*10^{-5} J$

Two, four, eight and sixteen cells are produced from first, second, third and fourth cell division respectively.

<h3>How many cells are produced? </h3>

When the body cell passes through cell division process, it divides into two daughter cells. In the second cell division, two cells divides into four cells. In the third cell division, the four cells divides into eight cells. In the fourth cell division, the eight cells divides and sixteen cells are produced.

So we can conclude that two, four, eight and sixteen cells are produced from first, second, third and fourth cell division respectively.

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike

allsm [11]

<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>
