Answer:
mass of the body is constant as it is property of body, but weight is product of acceleration due to gravity and mass, which may vary from place to place because acceleration due to gravity is different for different places.
Answer:
(a) 42 N
(b)36.7 N
Explanation:
Nomenclature
F= force test line (N)
W : fish weight (N)
Problem development
(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed
We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:
∑Fy =0
F-W= 0
42N -W =0
W = 42N
(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²
We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:
m= W/g , m= W/9.8 , m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity
∑Fy =m*a
m= W/g , m= W/9.8 , m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity
F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a
42-W= ( W/9.8 )*1.41
42= W+0.1439W
42=1.1439W
W= 42/1.1439
W= 36.7 N
Explain why the speed of light is lower than
3.0 × 108 m/s as it goes through different media.
--------------------
the molecules are forced to vibrate. that vib causes re emission. speed of emiited waves less than in vac.
The relationship between the speed, the frequency and the wavelength of a wave is given by:
where
f is the frequency
v is the speed of the wave
is its wavelength
for the pressure wave in this problem,
and v=1400 m/s, therefore its frequency is
