<span>An object suspended from its own center will not have any motion or rotation unless acted on by an outside force. In the question the idea of a massless string is introduced. The mass of the string is pointless. In this trivial example the weight w did not need to be defined as "w" as there is only one object considered.</span>

I attached a picture of the diagram associated with this question.

Now,
When we check the vertical components of the tension in the rope, we will find that we have two equal components acting upwards.
These two components support the weight and each of them has a value of TcosΘ

The net force acting on the body is zero.
Fnet=Force of tension acting upwards-Force due to weight acting downwards
0 = 2TcosΘ -W
W = 2TcosΘ
T = W / 2cosΘ

Given:
u = 10⁵ m/s, the entrance velocity
v = 2.5 x 10⁶ m/s, the exit velocity
s = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m, distance traveled

Let a = the acceleration.
Then
u² + 2as = v²
(10⁵ m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.016 m) = (2.5 x 10⁶ m/s)²
0.032a = 6.25 x 10¹² - 10¹⁰ = 6.24 x 10¹²
a = 1.95 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Answer: 1.95 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

D is the best answer. In many physics problems we treat an extended object as if it were a point with the same mass located at the center of mass.

1). The little projectile is affected by friction all the way through the block.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.

2). The block is affected by friction as it scrapes along the top of the post.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.

3). The block is also affected by friction with the air (air resistance) as it
falls to the ground. Friction robs some kinetic energy.

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag. She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

$v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h$

Hence, this is the required solution.
