RSB [31]4 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

For equilibrium, \sum M = 0.

So,   8 m \times mg - (10 m) T_{1} = 0

             T_{1} = \frac{8 \times mg}{10}

                        = \frac{8 \times 90 \times 9.8}{10}

                        = 705.6 N

Also, for equilibrium \sum F_{y} = 0

              T_{1} + T_{2} - mg = 0

or,         T_{2} = mg - T_{1}

                        = 90 \times 9.8 - 705.6

                        = 176.4 N

Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the first rope is 176.4 N.

A mover brings a box up the stairs in 10 seconds. If he applied a force of 20 N over a distance 10 m on the box, calculate the p
Softa [21]

Answer:

20 Watts

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

W = (20 N) (10 m)

W = 200 Joules

Power = work / time

P = 200 J / 10 s

P = 20 Watts

A dragster starts from rest and travels 1/4 mi in 6.80 s with constant acceleration. What is its velocity when it crosses the fi
Ahat [919]
<h2>Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = ?

        Time, t = 6.8 s    

        Displacement, s = 1/4 mi =    400 meters

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      400 = 0 x 6.8 + 0.5 x a x 6.8²

                      a = 17.30 m/s²

Now we have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = ?

     Time, t = 6.8 s

      Acceleration, a = 17.30 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      v = 0 + 17.30 x 6.8

                      v = 117.65 m/s

Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s

A baseball pitcher throws the ball in a motion where there is rotation of the forearm about the elbow joint as well as other mov
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: 330.88 J

Explanation:

Given

Linear velocity of the ball, v = 17.1 m/s

Distance from the joint, d = 0.47 m

Moment of inertia, I = 0.5 kgm²

The rotational kinetic energy, KE(rot) of an object is given by

KE(rot) = 1/2Iw²

Also, the angular velocity is given

w = v/r

Firstly, we calculate the angular velocity. Since it's needed in calculating the Kinetic Energy

w = v/r

w = 17.1 / 0.47

w = 36.38 rad/s

Now, substituting the value of w, with the already given value of I in the equation, we have

KE(rot) = 1/2Iw²

KE(rot) = 1/2 * 0.5 * 36.38²

KE(rot) = 0.25 * 1323.5

KE(rot) = 330.88 J

A loop of wire is placed in a magnetic field such that it has a flux, LaTeX: \phi ϕ, through it. The loop is compressed so that
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

B'= 3.333 B

Explanation:

Lets take

Initial area = A

Magnetic field = B

The area after compression

A'=0.3 A

Magnetic field = B'

We know that flux ,Ф

Ф = B A

Given that flux is constant so

B A = B' A'

B A=B' x 0.3 A

B'= 3.333 B

It means that magnetic field will increase.
