A box is lowered using a rope. If the acceleration of the box, is 3.3 m/s2 (downward) and its mass is 29.1 kg, what is the magni

tude of the tension in the rope?

Answer:

T=189.15 N

Explanation:

As we know that for downward motion

F acting = F (weight) - Tension T

m a = mg - T

⇒ T = m (g - a)

T = 29.1 kg ( 9.8 m/s² - 3.3 m/s²)

T=189.15 N

Say you dropped a cannonball from the 17.0–meter mast of a ship sailing at 2.0 meters/second. How far from the base of the mast

Mice21 [21]

The correct choice is A. 0 meters.

If you simply dropped the cannonball and didn't throw it horizontally,

then it'll fall straight down the mast and land on the deck right next to

the mast.

While you were up there holding it, before you dropped it, the cannonball

was moving horizontally, at 2.0 meters/second, along with the rest of the

ship and everything else aboard. It continued doing that after it dropped,

and from the point of view (in the reference frame) of the mast and everyone

on the ship, it fell straight down, parallel to the mast.

Now that we have that question answered, we can proceed to the more-

important ones. I answered the easy one, but YOU'll have to answer these:

==> WHY did you climb the mast carrying a cannonball ?

Have you been drinking sea water or bad rum ?

==> WHY did you drop it, and never even yell "LOOK OUT BELOW !" ?

==> How many formerly-able-bodied souls were injured by the

plummeting cannonball ?

==> What did everybody ELSE yell after the impact ?

==> What did they do to you after they brought you down ?

Why does Quito, Equator has very little changes to the daylight hours<br> throughout the year?

marin [14]

Because of the position on the equator, the change in rotation of the Earth on its axis throughout the year doesn't affect it much. Unlike the poles, Quito is almost constantly in direct view of the sun. So, because of lack of change in rotation, the daylight hours are hardly varied as Quito is almost constantly in more or less the same spot in relation to the sun.

A skater slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. She slows 10 points

zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

a = acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2-(5)^2}{2\times 20}\\\\a=-0.525\ m/s^2$

So, her acceleration is $0.525\ m/s^2$ and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.
