Answer:
a) T = 608.22 N
b) T = 608.22 N
c) T = 682.62 N
d) T = 533.82 N
Explanation:
Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg
Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²
Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.
So;
To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;
T = mg
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s²
the tension in the string is T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)
T = ma + mg
= m (a + g )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)
= 682.62 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)
T = mg - ma
= m (g - a )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)
= 533.82 N
Mass and distance are the two factors
Answer:
CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:
C = ε₀A/d
where,
C = Capacitance
ε₀ = Permeability of free space
A = Area of plates
d = Distance between plates
FOR CAPACITOR A:
C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F
A = A₁
d = d₁
Therefore,
CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F ----------------- equation 1
FOR CAPACITOR B:
C = CB = ?
A = A₁/2
d = 2 d₁
Therefore,
CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁
CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)
using equation 1:
CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)
<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>

Answer: B. meteorites, UV rays
The earth's atmosphere plays an important role in shielding the space rocks and meteorites enters inside the earth due to collision with the celestial body. Due to high heat and pressure in the mesospheric layer of the atmosphere these meteorites burned up before reaching the biosphere or hydrosphere system of the earth. The UV rays are protected from entering into the earth atmosphere by the ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. Both meteorites and UV rays can negatively effect the human population. Therefore, the atmosphere is an agent which provides protection against them.
