As a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. You find a

campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a slope of angle θup to a vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply, as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. The mass of rocks that you put into the anchor bag is equal to the mass of food in the other bag.What will be the acceleration aof the food bag when you let go of the anchor bag? Assume that the weight of the rope is negligible, and that the ice can be considered frictionless.Express the resulting acceleration aof the food bag in terms of θ and g, the acceleration due to gravity. Let the positive direction for this bag be downwards.

Answer: the acceleration is (g( 1 - sinθ)) / 2

Explanation:

the tension in one bag is expressed as;

T = ma + mg sin θ ........................lets say equ 1

now the tension in another bag is expressed as;

T = -ma + mg..................lets say equ 2

so equate both equations

ma + mg sinθ = -ma + mg

2ma =  mg ( 1 - sinθ)

a = (g( 1 - sinθ)) / 2

therefore the acceleration is (g( 1 - sinθ)) / 2

A negatively charged balloon has 4 μC of charge. How many excess electrons are on this bal- loon? The elemental charge is 1.6 ×
bagirrra123 [75]
Data:

The charge of a body depends on the amount of electrons it gains or loses. Q = n * e, where "Q" is charge, "n" is the number of plus or minus electrons, and "e" is the fundamental charge of an electron 1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C<span>. To know if the body has gained or lost, we look at the signal of its charge, remembering that the electron is negative. The charge of the body is 4 μC (positive), so there is a lack of electrons! 

Q = 4 </span>μC → Q = 4*10^{-6}
e = 1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C
n = ?<span>

We have:
</span>Q = n*e
n =  \frac{Q}{e}
n =  \frac{4*10^{-6}}{1,6 * 10 ^{-19}}
n = 2,5*10^{-6-(-19)}
n = 2,5*10^{-6+19}
\boxed{n = 2,5*10^{13}electrons}

A block with mass m =6.4 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.28 m.
Zanzabum

Answer

given,

mass of block (m)= 6.4 Kg

spring is stretched to distance, x = 0.28 m

initial velocity = 5.1 m/s

a) computing weight of spring

    k x = m g

k = \dfrac{mg}{x}

k = \dfrac{6.4 \times 9.8}{0.28}

      k = 224 N/m

b) f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}

    \omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}= \sqrt{\dfrac{224}{6.4}} = 5.92 \ rad/s

   f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

   f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{224}{6.4}}

  f =0.94\ Hz

c)  v_b = -v cos \omega t

    v_b = -5.1 \times cos (5.92 \times 0.42)

    v_b = 4.04\ m/s

d)  a_{max} = v \omega

    a_{max} = 4.04 \times 5.92

    a_{max} =23.94\ m/s^2

e)  Y =- A sin (\omega t)

    A = \dfrac{v}{\omega}

    A = \dfrac{4.04}{5.92}

        A = 0.682 m

    Y =- 0.682 \times sin (5.92 \times 0.42)

    Y =- 0.42

Force =m \omega^2 |Y|

          =6.4 \times 5.92^2\times 0.42

F = 94.20 N
