Arturiano [62]4 years ago

Answer:

T = 850 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of billboard worker = 800 N

length of scaffold = 4 m

weight of the scaffold = 500 N

worker is standing at 1 m from one end.

Tension in the rope = ?

To calculate the tension in the string we have to balance the clockwise and counterclockwise moment of the system.

Weight of the worker and the weight of the scaffold will be in clockwise direction where as the tension will be in counterclockwise direction

now,

800 x 3 + 500 x 2 = T x 4

4T = 3400

T = 850 N

hence, tension in the rope is equal to 850 N

kari74 [83]

Answer: according to the Avagadro's law, volume is directly propotional to no of moles: VXn

according to the Charles law, volume is directly propotional to  temperatue: VXT

according to the Boyle's law, volume is inversely propotional to P: VX1/P

when we combine them we get:

VXnT1/P

V=knT/P

k= R(universal gas constant)

V=RnT/P

A 2. 0mc charge in an external field of 20n/c, north (direction) will experience a force of: ___0. 04____________ newtons, the d
sleet_krkn [62]

2. 0 mc charge in an external field of 20n/c, north (direction) will experience a force of 0.4 newtons, the direction of the force is north

Force in an electric field  = charge * electric field

given

charge =  2* 10^{-3} C

electric field  = 20 N/C

Force  in an electric field   = 2* 10^{-3} * 20

                                            = 0.04 N

since , external field is in north direction then the force must be in north direction because the direction of an electric field at a point is the same as the direction of the electric force acting on a positive test charge

hence,  2. 0 mc charge in an external field of 20n/c, north (direction) will experience a force of 0.4 newtons, the direction of the force is north

Una cámara fotográfica analógica (no digital) tiene dos lentes intercambiables. Uno de foco 55mm y el otro de 200 mm. Toma una f
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

f = 55mm,     h ’= -9.89 cm

f = 200 mm,  h ’= 42.5 cm

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by finding the distance to the image, using the equation of the constructor

         \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distances to the object and image, respectively

lens with f₁ = 55mm = 0.55cm

         \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{p}

         \frac{1}{q_1} = \frac{1}{0.55} - \frac{1}{10}

          \frac{1}{q_1} = 1.718

          q₁ = 0.582 m

lens with f₂ = 200mm = 2m

           \frac{1}{q_2} =   \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{10}

            \frac{1}{q_2} = 0.4

            q₂ = 2.5 m

the magnification of a lens is given by

            m = \frac{h'}{h} = -  \frac{q}{p}

             h ’= - \frac{q}{p} \ h

let's calculate for each lens

f = 55mm

             h '= - 0.582 / 10 1.7

             h ’= 0.0989 m

             h ’= -9.89 cm

f = 200 mm

             h '= - 2.5 / 10 1.7

             h ’= -0.425 m

             h ’= 42.5 cm

The negative sign indicates that the image is real and inverted

A ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials. The medium the ray enters has a larger optical density. Whi
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

Explanation:

- When a ray of light crosses a boundary between two different materials, it undergoes refraction: the ray changes direction, and it also changes speed, according to the relationship:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where v is the speed of the ray of light in the material, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, n is the index of refraction of the material, which is larger for a medium with larger optical density. So, from the equation, we see that the larger the optical density, the smaller the speed of the wave.

- The frequency of the light does not depend on the properties of the medium, so it remains unchanged: therefore the statement

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

is correct.

- Moreover, the wavelength of the ray of light is related to the speed and the frequency by the equation

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where v is the speed and f the frequency. Since we have seen that v decreases and f remains constant, this means that the wavelength decreases as well, so the statement

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

is also correct.

An object in free fall travels a distance s that is directly proportional to the square of the time t. If an object falls 1088 f
ikadub [295]

Answer:

1,700feet

Explanation:

If an object in free fall travels a distance s that is directly proportional to the square of the time t, this can be represented mathematically as;

S = kt²where;

k is the proportionality constant

K = s/t²

s1/t1²= s2/t2²= Sn/tn²= k for values of the distance and time. Using the formula

s1/t1² = s2/t2² where;

s1 is the falling distance in time t1 s2 is the falling distance in time t2

Given s1 = 1088feet, t1 = 8secs, s2 = ? t2 = 10secs

Substituting this value in the formula to get s2, we have;

1088/8²= s2/10²

64s2= 108800

s2 = 108800/64

s2 = 1,700feet

This means the object will fall a distance of 1,700feet in 10seconds
