A piece of rope is pulled by two people in a tug-of-war. each exerts a 400-n force. what is the tension in the rope?

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The tension in the rope occurs due to the amount of the force by which the rope is pulled.

There is zero acceleration in the rope as it is being pulled from opposite ends with equal force.

consider one half of the rope:

$F_{net}= T - F_a =0\\ \Rightarrow T = F_a = 400 N$

Thus, tension in the rope = 400 N

Newtons 3.law: Action = Reaction

If a body exerts a force on a rope of 400 N the rope exerts a force on the body of 400N also. So the tension in the rope is 400N. See pictures below.

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.20 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, b

GaryK [48]

Answer:

$x_2 = 648.46\ m$

Explanation:

given,

Average velocity due west = 1.20 m/s

case 1

Distance moved in west, x₁ = 5.63 km

speed due west, v₁ = 2.33 m/s

Case 2

Distance moved in east = x₂

speed due east, v₂ = 0.374 m/s

total distance = x₁ + x₂ = 5.62

total time = t₁ + t₂ = 5630/2.33 + x₂/0.374

now,

$average\ velocity = \dfrac{total\ distance}{total\ time}$

$-1.20= \dfrac{-5630 + x_2}{\dfrac{5630}{2.33}+\dfrac{x_2}{0.374}}$

negative sign is used because we want the distance in east but velocity is in west.

$- 2900 - 3.21 x_2 = -5630 + x_2$

$-4.21 x_2 = -2730$

$x_2 = 648.46\ m$

The distance she walked in east is equal to 648.46 m

Two people are talking at a distance of 3.0 m from where you are and you measure the sound intensity as 1.1 × 10-7 W/m2. Another

Tanya [424]

Answer: $I_2=0.618\times 10^{-7} W/m^2$

Explanation:

Given

Distance between source and receiver $d_1=3 m$

Sound Intensity $I_1=1.1\times 10^{-7} W/m^2$

Distance of of second observer $d_2=4 m$

Intensity varies as

$I\propto \frac{1}{d^2}$

using this

$I=\frac{k}{d^2}$

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{d_2^2}{d_1^2}$

$\frac{1.1\times 10^{-7}}{I_2}=\frac{4^2}{3^2}$

$I_2=0.75^2\times 1.1\times 10^{-7}$

$I_2=0.618\times 10^{-7} W/m^2$
