Answer: 29.17m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Velocity = 525 m/s

Time = 18 seconds

Acceleration = change in Velocity with time

Using the motion equation:

v = u + at

Where v = final Velocity

u = Initial Velocity and t = time

Plugging our values

525 = 0 + a × 18

525 = 18(a)

a = 525 / 18

a = 29.166666

a = 29.17 m/s^2

8. When a 100 N bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope, how many newtons of tension are exerted in

Svetllana [295]

If the bag is motionless, then it's not accelerating up or down.
That fact right there tells you that the net vertical force on it
is zero. So the sum of any upward forces on it is exactly equal
to the downward gravitational force ... the bag's "weight".

If the bag is suspended from a single rope, then the tension
in the rope must be equal to the 100-N weight of the bag.

And if there are four ropes holding it up, then the sum of
the four tensions is 100N. If the ropes have been carefully
adjusted to share the load equally, then the tension is 25N
in each rope.

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$1979.99974\ N/C$

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Volume charge density is given by

$\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density for the sphere is $2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C$

The magnitude of the electric field is $1979.99974\ N/C$

A 16.2 kg person climbs up a uniform ladder with negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The

S_A_V [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. We will decompose the forces in the vertical and horizontal sense, and at the same time, we will perform summation of torques to eliminate some variables and obtain a system of equations that allow us to obtain the angle.

The forces in the vertical direction would be,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$f-N_w = 0$

$N_w = f$

The forces in the horizontal direction would be,

$\sum F_y = 0$

$N_f -W =0$

$N_f = W$

The sum of Torques at equilibrium,

$\sum \tau = 0$

$Wdcos\theta - N_wLsin\theta = 0$

$WdCos\theta = fLSin\theta$

$f = \frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

The maximum friction force would be equivalent to the coefficient of friction by the person, but at the same time to the expression previously found, therefore

$f_{max} = \mu W=\frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{d}{\mu L})$

Replacing,

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{0.9}{0.42*2})$

$\theta = 46.975\°$

Therefore the minimum angle that the person can reach is 46.9°
