Answer:

The tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward

Explanation:

The complete question is:

A 50kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling suspended by a cable. What is the Tension (magnitude and direction of the force) in the cable?

ANS:

Tension is the force applied axially by rope, chain, cable, rod, etc, as a reaction force. The direction of tension is always towards the support. Since, the support here, is ceiling.

Therefore, the direction of tension force will be vertically upward.

Since the chandelier is hanging stationary, without any motion. Thus, there must not be any unbalanced force applied on it.

Hence, the tension force must be equal to the weight of chandelier.

Tension Force = Weight of Chandelier

T = W = mg

T = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

T = 490 N

Thus, the tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward

What happens to light when it passes through a lens?

Novay_Z [31]

B. Light refracts as it passes through a lens.

The bending of a ray of light also occurs when light passes into and out of a glass lens. ... Because a convex lens can cause rays of light to converge, it can produce an image on a screen.

What is the relationship between temperature, dew point temperature, and air pressure

olchik [2.2K]

Dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor in the air condenses , then evaporates. The barometric or air pressure is independent from the dew point.

A bungee cord can stretch, but it is never compressed. When the distance between the two ends of the cord is less than its unstr

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

g=9.8m/s²

The spring constant is

k=50N/m

The length of the bungee cord is

Lo=32m

Height of bridge which one end of the bungee is tied is 91m

A steel ball of mass 92kg is attached to the other end of the bungee.

The potential energy(Us) of the steel ball before dropped from the bridge is given as

P.E= mgh

P.E= 92×9.8×91

P.E= 82045.6 J

Us= 82045.6 J

Potential energy)(Uc) of the cord is given as

Uc= ½ke²

Where 'e' is the extension

Then the extension is final height extended by cord minus height of cord

e=hf - hi

e=hf - 32

Uc= ½×50×(hf-32)²

Uc=25(hf-32)²

Using conservation of energy,

Then,

The potential energy of free fall equals the potential energy in string

Uc=Us

25(hf-32)²=82045.6

(hf-32)² = 82045.6/25

(hf-32)²=3281.825

Take square root of both sides

√(hf-32)²=√(3281.825)

hf-32=57.29

hf=57.29+32

hf=89.29m

We neglect the negative sign of the root because the string cannot compressed

Convert time from 12-hour to 24-hour clock.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

4:28

Explanation:

4:28am

a 12 hour clock continues going up after 12 (1:00pm=13:00). minutes stay the same. 12:00pm=00:00. this shows 4:28am, so you count 4 after 00:00.
