Answer: Option <em>a.</em>

Explanation:

Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion states:

<em>A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.</em>

It tells us that it doesn't matter how far Earth is from the Sun, at equal times, the area swept out by Earth's orbit it's always the same independently from the position in the orbit.

A bucket of water of mass 14.6 kg is suspended by a rope wrapped around a windlass, that is a solid cylinder with diameter 0.320
Svetach [21]

Answer:

a. T = 39.41 N

b. t = 1.76s

c. 150.78 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of bucket of water, Mb = 14.6 kg

Mass of cylinder, Mc = 11.1 kg

Diameter of cylinder, D =  0.320 m, or radius, r = D/2 = 0.16m

Displacement of the bucket from the top, that is the vertical displacement , y = 11.0 m

a. The tension in the rope while the bucket is falling is:

F = mg - T = ma

Where F= The force

m= mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

T = tension in the rope

a = acceleration

T= m(g - a)

Then, calculating the angular acceleration of the pulley system in relation to its radial acceleration

T= 1/2Ma

Merging the two final equation so as to solve for a

M(g - a) = 1/2Ma

Make a the subject of the formula

Mg - Ma = 1/2Ma

1/2Ma + Ma = Mg

a (1/2 M + M) = Mg

Divide both side by (1/2 M + M)

a = Mg ÷ (1/2 M + M)

Inputing the given value in the formula above

g= 9.8m/s2

a = (14.6 kg) (9.8m/s2) ÷ 1/2 (11.1 kg) + 14.6 kg

a = 7.1007m/s2

Now it is easy to input the value into T= 1/2Ma

T = 1/2 (11.1 kg) (7.1007m/s2) = 39.41 N

B. Time of fall is:

Using one of the equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

U = Initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

s= distance in this case displacement y

making t the subject of the formula

t = √(2s ÷ a)

u is 0 since the bucket starts from rest

so, t = √((2)(11.0 m) ÷ 7.1007m/s2)

t = 1.76s

c.  the force exerted on the cylinder by the axle = T + Mg

  = 42 N + (11.1 kg) (9.8m/s2)

= 150.78 N

A 52–newton bird feeder is tied to a cord, which is attached to a tree branch. Describe the tension force of the rope.
iris [78.8K]
If you are given a 52 Newton bird feeder tied to a cord, it means that it has a weight of 52 Newton. Since the bird feeder is not moving, we assume it to exert a force downward, that is its weight, and the cord that ties it, the force is upward. This upward force is the tension and is therefore equal to 52N.
