A large sphere has a mass of 175 kg and is suspended by a chain from the ceiling. The mass of the chain is 12.0 kg. What is the

tension in the chain?
1830, N1610, N1720, N1940 N.

Each point in the chain supports the weight of all the mass below it.

At the bottom end of the chain, the weight is (175 x 9.8) = 1,715 N .
At the top of the chain, the weight is (175 + 12) x (9.8) = 1,833 N .

The tension in the chain varies linearly from 1,715N at the bottom
to 1,833N at the top.

A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling

Natalka [10]

Answer:

H = 5 m

Explanation:

As the person leaves the slide horizontally so the time taken by the person to hit the water is given as

$t = 0.672 s$

so we can find the vertical velocity by which person will hit the water using kinematics

$v_y = u_y + at$

$v_y = 0 + (9.81)(0.672)$

$v_y = 6.6 m/s$

now the speed of the person at the end of the slide is given as

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

$v = \frac{5}{0.672}$

$v_x = 7.44 m/s$

now by energy conservation we can find the initial height

$mgH = \frac{1}{2}m(v_x^2 + v_y^2)$

$H = \frac{1}{2g}(v_x^2 + v_y^2)$

$H = \frac{1}{2(9.81)}(7.44^2 + 6.6^2)$

$H = 5 m$

A body on the surface of a planet with the same radius as Earths weighs 10 times more than it does on Earth. What is the mass of

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of Planet is equal to radius of Earth

$r_p=r_e$

Weight of body on Planet $F_p=mg_p$

where m=mass of body

$g_p=acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ on\ surface\ of\ Planet$

Weight of body on earth $F_e=mg_e$

$g_e=acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ on\ Earth$

acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

where G=gravitational constant

M=mass of Planet

r=radius of planet

for earth $g_e=\frac{GM_e}{r_e^2}$

for planet $g_p=\frac{GM_p}{r_p^2}$

substituting these values in $F_e$ and $F_p$

$F_p=m\times \frac{GM_p}{r_p^2}---1$

$F_e=m\times \frac{GM_e}{r_e^2}---2$

divide 1 and 2

$\frac{F_p}{F_e}=\frac{m\times \frac{GM_p}{r_p^2}}{m\times \frac{GM_e}{r_e^2}}$

$10=\frac{M_p}{M_e}$

$M_p=10M_e$

A student tests the electrical conduction of four materials.

ella [17]

Answer:

A. aluminum, iron, and silver only

Explanation:

metal elements are great conductors; aluminum, iron, and silver are all metals.

plastic isn't an element, but it still doesn't conduct electricity very well because it isn't a metal

(so I would leave out plastic, because you can only choose 3 max based on the answer choices)
