Answer:

b. 375 N

Explanation:

System of forces in balance

ΣFy = 0 Equation (1)

Forces acting on the board

T₁: Tension in the  left chain ,  vertical and upward

T₂ = 250 N : Tension in the right chain ,  vertical and upward

W₁ = 125 N : Weight of the  board , vertical and downward

W₂ =  500 N : Weight of the  person , vertical and downward

Calculation of the T₁

We apply the Equation (1)

ΣFy = 0  

T₁+T₂-W₁-W₂ = 0

T₁ = -T₂+W₁+W₂

T₁ = -250 N+ 125 N+ 500 N

T₁ = 375 N

The attraction between earth and the moon is an example of ________ force. the attraction between earth and the moon is an examp
Korolek [52]

The answer is gravitational force. The gravitational force between the earth and the moon is the similar as between any other two masses in space.

Newton clarified that the force of attraction between two masses is the outcome of the weight of object one multiplied by the weight of objects two multiplied by the gravitational constant divided by the space between the two masses squared.

Describe a ball's motion as it rolls up a slanted
emmasim [6.3K]

The ball will decelerate as it moves upwards.

The magnitude of the ball's acceleration is 0.3 m/s² and it directed backwards.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the ball, u = 1.25 m/s
  • time of motion of the ball, t = 4.22 s

As the ball rolls up the inclined plane, the velocity decreases and eventually becomes zero when the ball reaches the highest point of the plane.

Thus, the ball decelerate as it moves upwards.

The acceleration of the ball is calculate as;

a = \frac{v_f -v_0}{t} \\\\

<em>at the highest point on the incline plane, the final velocity </em>v_f<em> is zero</em>

a = \frac{0-1.25}{4.22} \\\\a = -0.3 \ m/s^2

Thus, the magnitude of the ball's acceleration is 0.3 m/s² and it directed backwards.

The cylinder of gravity of cylinder is where
Elodia [21]

Explanation:

In uniform gravity it is the same as the centre of mass. For regular shaped bodies it lies at the centre of the that particular body. Hence for a cylinder centre of gravity lies at the midpoint of the axis of the cylinder.

The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom pictures the electron as a tiny particle moving in a circular orbit about a stationary proto
igor_vitrenko [27]

a) The angular velocity of the electron is 4.12\cdot 10^{16} rad/s

b) The number of revolutions per second is 6.54\cdot 10^{15} rev/s

c) The centripetal acceleration of the electron is 8.98\cdot 10^{22} m/s^2

Explanation:

a)

This is a problem of uniform circular motion: in fact, the electron orbits around the proton in a uniform circular motion.

The angular velocity of an object in uniform circular motion is given by

\omega = \frac{v}{r}

where

v is the linear speed

r is the radius of the trajectory

For the electron orbiting around the proton, we have

v=2.18 \cdot 10^6 m/s

r=5.29\cdot 10^{-11} m

Therefore, the angular velocity is

\omega=\frac{2.18\cdot 10^6}{5.29\cdot 10^{-11}}=4.12\cdot 10^{16} rad/s

b)

The period of revolution of the electron is given by

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}

where

\omega = 4.12\cdot 10^{16}rad/s is the angular velocity

Substituting,

T=\frac{2\pi}{4.12\cdot 10^{16}}=1.53\cdot 10^{-16}s

The period is the time the electron takes to make one complete orbit around the proton; therefore, the number of revolutions of the electrons in one second is:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{1.53\cdot 10^{-16}}=6.54\cdot 10^{15} rev/s

c)

The centripetal acceleration of an object in circular motion is

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the linear speed

r is the radius of the circle

For the electron, we have

v=2.18 \cdot 10^6 m/s

r=5.29\cdot 10^{-11} m

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration is

a=\frac{(2.18\cdot 10^6)^2}{5.29\cdot 10^{-11}}=8.98\cdot 10^{22} m/s^2
