A ski tow operates on a slope of angle 14.0^\circ of length 250 m. The rope moves at a speed of 13.0 km/h and provides power for

54 riders at one time, with an average mass per rider of 75.0 kg.

Answer:

The power required to operate the tow is 34.75 kW.

Explanation:

Given that,

A ski tow operates on a slope of angle, \theta=14^{\circ}

Speed of the rope, v = 13 km/h = 3.62 m/s

Number of riders, n = 54

The average mass per rider of 75.0 kg

We need to find the power required to operate the tow. We know that the rate at which the work is done is called power operated by an object.

P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\or\\\\P=F\times v

Here,

P=54mg\times v\sin\theta\\\\P=54\times 75\times 9.8\times 3.62\times \sin(14)\\\\P=34758.8\ W

or

P = 34.75 kW

So, the power required to operate the tow is 34.75 kW. Hence, this is the required solution.

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas
jek_recluse [69]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.
