If you are standing on a weighing scale in an elevator what happens to your weight if the elevator accelerates up or accelerates

down ?
Are you going to weigh less, weigh more or the same?

When moving upwards, the normal force from the weighing scale on the person increases so the weight appears to increase. The opposite holds true when the elevator goes downwards.

(a) Calculate the tension in a vertical strand of spiderweb if a spider of mass 5.00 ✕ 10-5 kg hangs motionless on it.
sertanlavr [38]

a)The tension in the vertical strand will be 0.00049 N.

b))The tension in the horizontal strand will be 0.001284 N.

c)The ratio of tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand will be  2.62.

<h3>What is tension force?</h3>

The tension force is described as the force transferred through a rope, string, or wire as it is pulled by opposing forces.

Given data;

Mass of spiderweb = 5.00 ✕ 10⁻⁵ kg

The tension in a horizontal strand of a spiderweb, Tₓ

The tension in a  vertical strand of a spiderweb, Tₐ

The angle at which the strand sags, Θ = 10.0°

R is the ratio of  tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand

a)

From the FBD,

The tension  in the vertical strand is equal to the weight of the spider;

Tₐ = W

Tₐ = mg

Tₐ= 5 x 10⁻⁵ kg x 9.8 m / s²

Tₐ= 0.00049 N.

(b)

The super's total vertical forces are zero since it is not moving the value of the tension in the horizontal strand;

Tₓ = mg/( 2sinΘ)

Tₓ = 5 x 10⁻⁵ kg x 9.8 m /s² / ( 2 sin 11° )

Tₓ= 0.001284 N.

c)

R is the tension in the vertical strand divided by the tension in the horizontal strand.

R= Tₐ / Tₓ

R= 0.001284 N / 0.00049 N

R= 2.62

Hence, the tension in a vertical strand of a spiderweb, the tension in a horizontal strand of a spiderweb, and the ratio of tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand will be 0.00049 N, 0.001284 N, and 2.62 respectively.

The answer is A and no matter how many times I tried I can't get it.
ryzh [129]
Imagine a skinny straw in the water, standing right over the hole. The WEIGHT of the water in that straw is the force on the tape. Now, the volume of water in the straw is (1 mm^2) times (20 cm). Once you have the volume, you can use the density and gravity to find the weight. And THAT's the force on the tape. If the tape can't hold that force, then it peels off and the water runs out through the hole. /// This is a pretty hard problem, because it involved mm^2, cm, and m^3. You have to be very very very careful with your units as you work through this one. If you've been struggling with it, I'm almost sure the problem is the units.

What do we call the principal SI units that are used to derive all other SI units? Question 3 options:
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: Base units

The principal SI units that are used to derive all other SI units are called base units. The base units are the units of fundamental quantities e.g.  M L T that is Mass, Length, and Time. All other physical quantities can be written in the fundamental dimension forms. The physical quantities are not measured directly but are build up from the building blocks that are the fundamental quantities which have base units.

.3.3: Populating a vector with a for loop. Write a for loop to populate vector userGuesses with NUM_GUESSES integers. Read integ
Reptile [31]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main() {

  const int NUM_GUESSES = 3;

  vector<int> userGuesses(NUM_GUESSES);

  int i = 0;

int uGuess = 0;

for(i = 0; i <= userGuesses.size() - 1; i++){

 cin >> uGuess;

 userGuesses.at(i) = uGuess;

}

cout << endl;

  return 0;

}

Explanation:

First inbuilt library were imported. Then inside the main( ) function, 3 was assigned to NUM_GUESSES meaning the user is to guess 3 numbers. Next, a vector was defined with a size of NUM_GUESSES.

Then a for-loop is use to receive user guess via cin and each guess is assigned to the vector.
