A gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t

hat the rope does not stretch. Use the value 9.81m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity.
A)Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope.Express your answer in newtons.
B)Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate.Express your answer in newtons.
C)Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2 .Express your answer in newtons.
D)Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2 .Express your answer in newtons

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N

This problem is based on the whole idea of pressure but I’m having trouble on when the area circle formula is included.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

6.23x10^6Pa

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

F (force) = 490N

r (radius) = 0.005m

A (area of the circlular heel) =?

P (pressure) =.?

First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:

Area of circle = πr^2

Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2

Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2

Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5

Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2

Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa

Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa

Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an
pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%

Hope this Helps!!!!

A hand lifts a block vertically upward at constant velocity. The work done by gravity on the block ____ if the system consists o
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

What's the opposite of vaporization
Nesterboy [21]
Condensation. Remember, Vaporization happens when energy is taken in (enfothermic) the opposite will be the process that releases energy ( exothermic) which will be condensation. Put ice in a glass of water. the ice melts, taking in energy from the water in the glass, which in turn takes heat energy away from the vapor in the surrounding air, thus causing the water vapor in the air to condense.
