An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o

bject suspended from it. Assume a wire of mass 3.60 g is 1.60 m long and has a 3.00-kg object suspended from it. A pulse requires 60.1 ms to traverse the length of the wire. Calculate gplanet from these data. (You may neglect the mass of the wire when calculating the tension in it.)
gplanet = m/s2

Answer:

0.53m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wire=m=3.6 g=3.6\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg=1000 g

Length of wire=l=1.6 m

Mass of object=m'=3 kg

Time,t=60.1 ms=60.1\times 10^{-3} s

1 ms=10^{-3} s

Speed,v=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{1.6}{60.1\times 10^{-3}}=26.62 m/s

g=\frac{v^2m}{m'l}

Using the formula

g=\frac{(26.62)^2\times 3.6\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 1.6}=0.53m/s^2

Ivan

Answer: The elevator must be accelerating.

Explanation:

As the tension force is opposing to the the force of gravity on the load which is hung vertically, and the tension force can adopt any value in order to comply with Newton's 2nd law, if the tension force is less than the force due to gravity, this means that all system is not in equilibrium, so it must be accelerating.

If we assume that the downward is the positive direction, we can write:

mg - T = ma

If T = 0.9 mg, ⇒ mg (1-0.9) =0.1 mg = m a ⇒a = 0.1 g , in downward direction.

If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa, it is absolute pressure is approximately
Art [367]
In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
                             = 256 KPa.

Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is 36.86% n and 63.14% o by mass.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

NO_{1.499}

Explanation:

Let assume that 100 kg of the compound is tested. The quantity of kilomoles for each element are, respectively:

n_{N} = \frac{36.86\,kg}{14.006\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{N} = 2.632\,kmol

n_{O} = \frac{63.14\,kg}{15.999\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{O} = 3.946\,kmol

Ratio of kilomoles oxygen to kilomole nitrogen is:

n^{*} = \frac{3.946\,kmol}{2.632\,kmol}

n^{*}= 1.499

It means that exists 1.499 kilomole oxygen for each kilomole nitrogen.

The empirical formula for the compound is:

NO_{1.499}
