A 68.0 Kg tightrope walker stands at the center of a rope. The rope supports are 10 m apart and the rope sags 8.00 degrees at ea

ch end. The tightrope walker crouches down, then leaps straight up with an acceleration of 8.10 m/s^2 to catch a passing trapeze. What is the tension in the rope as he jumps?

Answer:

Tension= 4,373.70N

Explanation:

Ma= Sum of forces

Horizontal forces are:

0= T1costheta=T2costheta

T1=T2=T

Vertical forces are:

Ma= T1sin8°+ T2sin8° - mg

Ma= 2Tsin8° - mg

Therefore ,

T= m(a+g)/(2sin8°)

T= 68(8.10+9.8)/2×0.139

68(17.9)/0.2783

T= 4373.697

T= 4373.70N

A physics student looks into a microscope and observes that small particles suspended in water are moving about in an irregular
Dominik [7]

Answer:

d. the actual motion is regular, but the speeds of particles are too large to observe the regular motion

Explanation:

The speeds of the particles are very large and comparatively the average  free path is very small . Therefore time taken in covering the free path ( path between two consecutive collision with medium particles ) is very small . Hence the st line  path covered by particles between two collision is less likely to be visible. Hence motion appears irregular or zig-zag.

A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach  243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}

Sum of infinite GP = \frac{a}{1-r}

From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball

Round to three significant figures.<br> 0.0785584 rounds to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

0.0786

Explanation:

zero after the decimal place is not a significant figure since it comes before the real integer "7".

"5 " in ten thousandth place is rounded off to "6" because the next digit is also another "5",

so we get the three sfg 0.0786
