, as the drawing shows. Suppose the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg. (a) Determine the tension in the cable attached to the chair. (b) Find the speed of the chair.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the cable is 19.6 m, l = 19.6 m

Let us assume that the angle with vertical rotating pole is 62.5 degrees.

The total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg.

(a) Let T is the tension in the cable attached to the chair. So,

$T\cos\theta=mg\\\\T=\dfrac{mg}{\cos\theta}\\\\T=\dfrac{250\times 9.8}{\cos(62.5)}\\\\T=5305.91\ N$

(b) The centripetal acceleration is balanced by :

$\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g\tan\theta\\\\v=\sqrt{Rg\tan\theta} \\\\v=\sqrt{l\sin\theta g\tan\theta}\\\\v=\sqrt{19.6\times \sin(62.5)9.8\times \tan(62.5)}\\\\v=18.09\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Explanation:

radius, R = 19.6 m

mass, m = 250 kg

(a) The tension in the cable is T.

T = mg

T = 250 x 9.8

T = 2450 N

(b) Let v is the speed of the chair.

the tension force is balanced by the centripetal force.

T = mv²/r

2450 = 250 x v²/19.6

v² = 192.08

v = 13.86 m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 13.86 m/s

A horizontal beam of light of intensity 25 W/m2 is sent through two polarizing sheets. The polarizing direction of the first mak

Zina [86]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarised light, I = 25 W/m^2

When it passes from first polarisr, the intensity of light becomes

$I'=\frac{I_{0}}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5 W/m^{2}$

Let the intensity of light as it passes from second polariser is I''.

According to the law of Malus

$I'' = I' Cos^{2}\theta$

Where, θ be the angle between the axis first polariser and the second polariser.

$I'' = 12.5\times Cos^{2}15$

I'' = 11.66 W/m^2

I'' = 11.7 W/m^2

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.55 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$M_1 = 317.7 kg$

Explanation:

Mass of the helium gas filled inside the volume of balloon is given as

$m = \rho V$

$m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)$

$m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3)$

$m = 210.7 kg$

now total mass of balloon + helium inside balloon is given as

$M = 210.7 + 990$

$M = 1200.7 kg$

now we know that total weight of balloon + cargo = buoyancy force on the balloon

so we will have

$(M + M_1)g = \rho_{air} V g$

$(1200.7 + M_1) = (\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3) (1.29)$

$1200.7 + M_1 = 1518.4$

$M_1 = 317.7 kg$

Which of the following expressions will have units of kg⋅m/s2? Select all that apply, where x is position, v is velocity, m is m

netineya [11]

Answer: $m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Explanation:

In the image attached with this answer are shown the given options from which only one is correct.

The correct expression is:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Because, if we derive velocity $v_{t}$ with respect to time $t$ we will have acceleration $a$ , hence:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=m.a$

Where $m$ is the mass with units of kilograms ( $kg$ ) and $a$ with units of meter per square seconds $\frac{m}{s}^{2}$ , having as a result $kg\frac{m}{s}^{2}$

The other expressions are incorrect, let’s prove it:

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dx}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=\frac{m}{2} 2v_{(x)}^{2-1}=mv_{(x)}$ This result has units of $kg\frac{m}{s}$

$m\frac{d}{dt}a_{(t)}=ma_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\int x_{(t)} dt= m \frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{1+1}}{1+1}+C=m\frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kgm^{2}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\frac{d}{dt}x_{(t)}=mx_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=mv_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$\frac{m}{2}\int {(v_{(t)})}^{2} dt= \frac{m}{2} \frac{{(v_{(t)})}^{2+1}}{2+1}+C=\frac{m}{6} {(v_{(t)})}^{3}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{3}}{s^{3}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\int a_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {a_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{4}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dt}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=0$ because $v_{(x)}$ is a constant in this derivation respect to $t$

$m\int v_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {v_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ and $C$ is a constant
