A large uniform chain is hanging from the ceiling, supporting a block of mass 46 kg. The mass of the chain itself is 19 kg, and

the length of the chain is 1.9 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Find the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block. Answer in units of N.

Answer:

T = 451.26 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of block, m = 46 kg

Mass of the chain, m' = 19 kg

Length of the chain, l = 1.9 m

Let T is the the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block. It is clearly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

$T=mg$

$T=46\ kg\times 9.81\ m/s^2$

T = 451.26 N

So, the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block is 451.26 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Part a)

$a_c = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} m/s^2$

Part b)

$v = 2.18 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

Time period of sun is given as

$T = 2.60 \times 10^8 years$

$T = 2.60 \times 10^8 (365 \times 24 \times 3600) s$

$T = 8.2 \times 10^{15} s$

Now the radius of the orbit of sun is given as

$R = 3.00 \times 10^4 Ly$

$R = 3.00 \times 10^4 (3\times 10^8)(365 \times 24 \times 3600)m$

$R = 2.84 \times 10^20 m$

Part a)

centripetal acceleration is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

$a_c = \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2} R$

$a_c = \frac{4\pi^2}{(8.2\times 10^{15})^2}(2.84 \times 10^{20})$

$a_c = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} m/s^2$

Part b)

orbital speed is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

$v = \frac{2\pi (2.84 \times 10^{20})}{8.2 \times 10^{15}}$

$v = 2.18 \times 10^5 m/s$

Suppose the polar bear was running on land instead of swimming. If the polar bear runs at a speed of about 8.3 m/s, how far will

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

298800 m

Explanation:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

V=speed

d=distance

t=time

$d = vt$

Change hours to seconds

It will be 36000s

8.3m/s * 36000s

=298800m

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 60 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls until it

musickatia [10]

<span> y=y0 + vt +1/2gt^2
(solve for t here) cause you know y,y0,v,g
you will do quad formula here

then:
v=v0 +at solve for v
(remember the direction of the ball too (signs))

The main thing to remember here is that when the ball passes exactly (height) where it was launched it will travel the speed at which it was launched. *its almost like the ball was thrown in the downward direction. </span>

Which of these has the least chemical energy?

madreJ [45]

The answer is option D a gallon of gasoline.

Explanation:

A gallon of gasoline has the least chemical energy. The energy content of gallon of gasoline is about 132,000 Btu. The gasoline produced is equivalent in energy terms to 4 kilowatt hours.

Gasoline has chemical potential energy stored in chemical bonds. Gasoline is called as gas or petrol, mixture of volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbons are used as fuel for internal- combustion engines. It is used as solvent for oils and fats.

Gasoline gallon equivalent is the alternative fuel taken to equal the energy content of one liquid gallon of gasoline.

Answer:

61.85 ohm

Explanation:

L = 12 m H = 12 x 10^-3 H, C = 15 x 10^-6 F, Vrms = 110 V, R = 45 ohm

Let ω0 be the resonant frequency.

$\omega _{0}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$

$\omega _{0}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{12\times 10^{-3}\times 15\times 10^{-6}}}$

ω0 = 2357 rad/s

ω = 2 x 2357 = 4714 rad/s

XL = ω L = 4714 x 12 x 10^-3 = 56.57 ohm

Xc = 1 / ω C = 1 / (4714 x 15 x 10^-6) = 14.14 ohm

Impedance, Z = $\sqrt{R^{2}+\left ( XL - Xc \right )^{2}}$

Z = \sqrt{45^{2}+\left ( 56.57-14.14 )^{2}} = 61.85 ohm

Thus, the impedance at double the resonant frequency is 61.85 ohm.
