Answer:

$2.26m/s^2$

Explanation:

Suppose the tension in the ribbon is T.

The upwards component of the tension = Tcos13

The horizontal component of the tension = Tsin13

The weight of the medal = mg

In a vertical direction, mg is balanced by Tcos13, so mg=Tcos13, so T = mg/cos13. The horizontal component of T is the force causing m to accelerate.

$F = ma\\T\sin13^{\circ} = ma$

Substituting T= mg/cos13 gives:

$\frac{mg}{cos13^{\circ}}sin13^{\circ} = ma$

$m$ cancels and you have

$g\tan13 = a\\a=9.81\tan13^{\circ} \approx 2.26m/s^2$

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a

Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = $3.1$ m

Width of the window = $2.1$ m

Area of the window = $(3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2$

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

= $(1.0-0.954)$ atm = $0.046$ atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒ $1$ atm = $101325$ Pa

⇒ $0.046$ atm = $0.046\times 101325 =4660.95$ Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ $Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}$

⇒ $Force =Pressure\times Area$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $Force =4660.95\times 6.51$

⇒ $Force=30342.78$ Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

It took a crew 9 h 36 min to row 8 km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2 km/h, what was the rowing

babunello [35]

Answer:

3 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.

Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h

Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h

It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:

8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5 (notice that: time = distance/speed)

Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)

8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) = (48/5)*(x² - 4)

Dividing by 8

(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)

2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5

0 = (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5

Using quadratic formula

$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(6/5)(-24/5)}}{2(6/5)}$

$x = \frac{2 \pm 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_1 = \frac{2 + 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_1 = 3$

$x_2 = \frac{2 - 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_2 = -1\; 1/3$

A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h
