Constant speed means no acceleration. In terms of the tension this means there's no additional forces on the rope to account for the accelerating person. So the only force felt by the rope is the weight which is the same whether they are climbing or just hanging from the rope.
So tension is

The tension in the rope when gymnast climbs a rope with constant speed will be \boxed{588{\text{ N}}}.

Further explanation:

We have to calculate the tension in the rope when the gymnast climbs a rope with the constant speed.

Given:

We have given that,

The mass of the gymnast is $60{\text{ kg}}$ .

Formula and concept used:

Consider a body is moving with an acceleration in upward direction, then the direction of the inertia force will be in the opposite direction of the direction of the acceleration.

That is, the direction of the inertia force will be in the downward direction for the moving body.

Inertia force can be calculated as,

$\boxed{{F_I}=ma}$

Here, ${F_I}$ is the inertia force and is the acceleration.

So, the net downward force will be equal to the sum of the weight of the body and the inertia force.

$\boxed{F=W + {F_I}}$

Substitute the values of $W$ as $mg$ and ${F_I}$ as $ma$ in above equation.

$\boxed{F=mg + ma}$ …… (1)

Here, gymnast is climbing with the constant speed.

So, acceleration of the gymnast in upward direction will be zero.

Substitute $0$ for $a$ in equation (1).

So, the net downward force will be,

$F = mg$

This downward force will be balanced by the tension in the rope.

So, tension in the rope will be,

$\boxed{T = mg}$ …… (2)

Calculation:

Substitute the value $60{\text{ kg}}$ for $m$ and $9.8{\text{ }}{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {{{\text{s}}^2}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{{\text{s}}^2}}}$ for $g$ in equation (2).

$\begin{aligned}T&=60\times9.8\\&=588{\text{N}}\\\end{aligned}$

So, the tension in the rope will be $\boxed{588{\text{ N}}}$ .

A 44-cm-diameter water tank is filled with 35 cm of water. A 3.0-mm-diameter spigot at the very bottom of the tank is opened and

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The frequency $f$ = 521.59 Hz

The rate at which the frequency is changing = 186.9 Hz/s

Explanation:

Given that :

Diameter of the tank = 44 cm

Radius of the tank = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{44}{2}$ = 22 cm

Diameter of the spigot = 3.0 mm

Radius of the spigot = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{3.0}{2}$ = 1.5 mm

Diameter of the cylinder = 2.0 cm

Radius of the cylinder = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{2.0}{2}$ = 1.0 cm

Height of the cylinder = 40 cm = 0.40 m

The height of the water in the tank from the spigot = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Velocity at the top of the tank = 0 m/s

From the question given, we need to consider that the question talks about movement of fluid through an open-closed pipe; as such it obeys Bernoulli's Equation and the constant discharge condition.

The expression for Bernoulli's Equation is as follows:

$P_1+\frac{1}{2}pv_1^2+pgy_1=P_2+\frac{1}{2}pv^2_2+pgy_2$

$pgy_1=\frac{1}{2}pv^2_2 +pgy_2$

$v_2=\sqrt{2g(y_1-y_2)}$

where;

P₁ and P₂ = initial and final pressure.

v₁ and v₂ = initial and final fluid velocity

y₁ and y₂ = initial and final height

p = density

g = acceleration due to gravity

So, from our given parameters; let's replace

v₁ = 0 m/s ; y₁ = 0.35 m ; y₂ = 0 m ; g = 9.8 m/s²

∴ we have:

v₂ = $\sqrt{2*9.8*(0.35-0)}$

v₂ = $\sqrt {6.86}$

v₂ = 2.61916

v₂ ≅ 2.62 m/s

Similarly, using the expression of the continuity for water flowing through the spigot into the cylinder; we have:

v₂A₂ = v₃A₃

v₂r₂² = v₃r₃²

where;

v₂r₂ = velocity of the fluid and radius at the spigot

v₃r₃ = velocity of the fluid and radius at the cylinder

$v_3 = \frac{v_2r_2^2}{v_3^2}$

where;

v₂ = 2.62 m/s

r₂ = 1.5 mm

r₃ = 1.0 cm

we have;

v₃ = $(2.62 m/s)*$ $(\frac{1.5mm^2}{1.0mm^2} )$

v₃ = 0.0589 m/s

∴ velocity of the fluid in the cylinder = 0.0589 m/s

So, in an open-closed system we are dealing with; the frequency can be calculated by using the expression;

$f=\frac{v_s}{4(h-v_3t)}$

where;

$v_s$ = velocity of sound

h = height of the fluid

v₃ = velocity of the fluid in the cylinder

$f=\frac{343}{4(0.40-(0.0589)(0.4)}$

$f= \frac{343}{0.6576}$

$f$ = 521.59 Hz

∴ The frequency $f$ = 521.59 Hz

What are the rate at which the frequency is changing (Hz/s) when the cylinder has been filling for 4.0 s?

The rate at which the frequency is changing is related to the function of time (t) and as such:

$\frac{df}{dt}= \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{v_s}{4}(h-v_3t)^{-1})$

$\frac{df}{dt}= -\frac{v_s}{4}(h-v_3t)^2(-v_3)$

$\frac{df}{dt}= \frac{v_sv_3}{4(h-v_3t)^2}$

where;

$v_s$ (velocity of sound) = 343 m/s

v₃ (velocity of the fluid in the cylinder) = 0.0589 m/s

h (height of the cylinder) = 0.40 m

t (time) = 4.0 s

Substituting our values; we have ;

$\frac{df}{dt}= \frac{343*0.0589}{4(0.4-(0.0589*4.0))^2}$

= 186.873

≅ 186.9 Hz/s

∴ The rate at which the frequency is changing = 186.9 Hz/s when the cylinder has been filling for 4.0 s.

Volcanoes that have fast flowing liquid lava will be narrow like a river

Answer:

Shield volcanoes, the third type of volcano, are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Flow after flow pours out in all directions from a central summit vent, or group of vents, building a broad, gently sloping cone of flat, domical shape, with a profile much like that of a warrior's shield.

A planet orbits a start with the path shown below.

kvv77 [185]

PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

$U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}$

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance

A rock is thrown horizontally from a high building at 33.8 m/s. What is the magnitude of its velocity 4.25 s later?

Alex17521 [72]

<h2>Answer:53.63 $ms^{-2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

The equations of motion used in this question is $v=u+at$

When a object is projected horizontally from a sufficiently height,the x-component of acceleration remains zero because there is no force that drags the object in x direction.

But,due to gravity,the object accelerates downward at a rate of $9.8ms^{-2}$ .
