Answer:

2000 N

1600 N

Explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bear's weight is 2000 N and it slides down the tree with constant velocity. Since it is sliding with constant velocity the overall force  on the bear is zero. The weight of the bear acting downward balances the upward force caused due to friction. Hence the upward force equals the weight 2000 N.  

Step 2:

It is given that the bear slides down with an acceleration 2 m/sec sq  

Weight of the bear = 2000 N

Mass of the bear = 2000/10 (taking g = 10 m/sec sq)=200 kg

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Hence net force acting downward = 200*2=400 N.

Net force = Weight of bear - Force acting upward on the bear

400 = 2000 -  Force acting upward on the bear

Force on the bear acting upward = 2000 - 400 = 1600 N

The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a w
lbvjy [14]

R is proportional to the length of the wire:

R ∝ length

R is also proportional to the inverse square of the diameter:

R ∝ 1/diameter²

The resistance of a wire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26in is 9850Ω. Now let's change the shape of the wire, adding and subtracting material as we go along, such that the wire is now 2800ft and has a diameter of 0.1in.

Calculate the scale factor due to the changed length:

k₁ = 2800/2700 = 1.037

Scale factor due to changed diameter:

k₂ = 1/(0.1/0.26)² = 6.76

Multiply the original resistance by these factors to get the new resistance:

R = R₀k₁k₂

R₀ = 9850Ω, k₁ = 1.037, k₂ = 6.76

R = 9850(1.037)(6.76)

R = 69049.682Ω

Round to the nearest hundredth:

R = 69049.68Ω

Is the facceleration due to gravity the same on Earth and Earth's moon?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Earth's average surface gravity is about 9.8 meters per second per second. ... The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. A body's surface gravity is proportional to its mass but inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
