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

the strand? - What if the bag is supported by four vertical strands?

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.

If C is 1kg and D is 100kg, and the initial velocities of both balls are 5m/s, how would the magnitude of the forces exerted by
kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.

Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:

                  Momentum  =  mass x velocity

Let us consider the momentum of the balls;

Substance C;

    Mass  = 1kg

     Velocity  = 5m/s

    Momentum of C = 1 x 5  = 5kgm/s

Substance D:

      Mass  = 100kg

      Velocity  = 5m/s

     Momentum of D  = 100kg x 5m/s  = 500kgm/s

Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.

The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.

What is the magnitude of the momentum of a 3400 kg airplane traveling at a speed of 450 miles per hour?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of momentum of the airplane is 6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the airplane, m = 3400 kg

Speed of the airplane, v = 450 miles per hour

Since, 1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s

v = 201.16 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of momentum of the airplane. It is given by the product of mas and velocity such that,

p=mv

p=3400\ kg\times 201.16 \ m/s

p=683944\ kg-m/s

or

p=6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of momentum of the airplane is 6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
