Average velocity has two parts: Its magnitude (size) and its direction.
Its magnitude is
(straight-line distance between start-point and end-point, regardless of the route that's actually followed from start to finish) divided by (time taken to travel from start to finish).
Its direction is
(direction from start-point to end-point)
Notice that straight from this definition, the average velocity of going around a full circle is zero, no matter how fast you traveled. That's because the size of the average velocity is calculated from the straight-line distance from start-point to end-point, and that's zero if you finish at the same point you started from.
Answer:
<em>The tension in the web is 0.017738 N</em>
Explanation:
<u>Net Force</u>
The net force exerted on an object is the sum of the vectors of each individual force applied to an object.
If the net force equals 0, then the object is at rest or moving at a constant speed.
The spider described in the question is hanging at rest. It means the sum of the forces it's receiving is 0.
A hanging object has only two forces: The tension of the supporting string (in our case, the web) and its weight. If the object is in equilibrium, the tension is numerically equal to the weight:
T=W=m.g
The mass of the spider is m=1.81 gr = 0.00181 Kg, thus the tension is:
The tension in the web is 0.017738 N
Answer:
21.582 Newtons
Explanation:
The weight of an object on Earth is equal to W=9.81M where M is the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. Therefore, the weight of the book on the earth is W=9.81(2.2)=21.582N, or 21.582 Newtons
