A 35.0-kg child swings in a swing supported by two chains, each 2.96 m long. The tension in each chain at the lowest point is 43

6 N. (a) Find the child's speed at the lowest point. Consider all the vertical components of force acting on the swing when it is at its lowest point and relate them to the acceleration of the swing at that instant. m/s (b) Find the force exerted by the seat on the child at the lowest point. (Ignore the mass of the seat.)

Answer:

6.69m/s,529N

Explanation:

Now we have 3 forces acting on the boy at its least point, the two tensions on the string and its weight. The tensions are acting upwards why its weight is acting downwards.

Hence the net force causes the child to swing in a circular fashion without skidding off the swing.

This net force is the centripetal force.

The weight of the child is mass × g

35×9.8=343N

The net force = 436+436-343 = 529N

The centripetal force is defined mathematically as;

F = mass × velocity square/ length of string.

Hence 529 = 35V^2/2.96

V^2 = 529×2.96/35 =44.7383

V=√44.7383 =6.69m/s

B. The force exerted by the seat on the child is the net force which keeps the boy from falling.

529N

Calculate the energy absorbed when 13 kg of liquid water raises from 18°C to 100°C and then boils at 100°C.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

the energy absorbed is 4.477 x 10⁶ J

Explanation:

mass of the liquid, m = 13 kg

initial temperature of the liquid, t₁ = 18 ⁰C

final temperature of the liquid, t₂ = 100 ⁰C

specific heat capacity of water, c = 4,200 J/kg⁰C

The energy absorbed is calculated as;

H = mcΔt

H = mc(t₂ - t₁)

H = 13 x 4,200(100 - 18)

H = 4.477 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the energy absorbed is 4.477 x 10⁶ J

Why was John Paul Jones's victory important in the war? His victory increased France's confidence in the skill of the Continenta
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

C. His victory against a superior British foe inspired the American troops.

Explanation:

John Paul Jones is considered the hero in the Revolutionary War. He is known as the Father of the US Navy.

In the Revolutionary War, Jones sided with the American colonists against the British and took hold of naval ships. In 1779, when the British warship <em>Serapis</em> was in conflict with the American warship <em>Bon Homme Richard, </em>Jones plugged the American warship with the Britisher's warship and tossed a grenade into the opponent warship. Thus when Jones was victorious in the war, this boosted the American spirits for the war.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Comparing helium atoms with nitrogen molecules at the same temperature, the helium atoms on average are moving _______ and have
mylen [45]

Answer:

Helium atoms compared to nitrogen atoms are moving faster and have a greater kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The molecular velocity of a gas at room temperature is inverse proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.

The greater the molecular mass of the gas the lesser the average speed of its molecules. Comparing the molecular masses of nitrogen and helium, helium is found to have a lower molecular mass and a corresponding greater velocity.

Hence helium moves faster than nitrogen and has a higher kinetic energy than nitrogen

Describe a scenario where a car's speed could stay the same, but the acceleration changes.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes.
