Answer:

Acceleration, a=-2.8\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

The initial speed of a speed skater, u = 8 m/s

The final speed of a speed skater, v = 6 m/s

Width of patch of rough ice, s = 5 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. Acceleration can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(6)^2-(8)^2}{2\times 5}\\\\a=-2.8\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration on the rough ice is 2.8\ m/s^2. Negative sign shows that its speed is decreased.

A 5.0 kg block hangs from the ceiling by a mass-less rope. A Second block with a mass of 10.0 kg is attached to the first block
gayaneshka [121]

The tension in the first and second rope are; 147 Newton and 98 Newton respectively.

Given the data in the question

  • Mass of first block; m_1 = 5.0kg
  • Mass of second block, m_2 =10kg
  • Tension on first rope; T_1 =\ ?
  • Tension on second rope; T_2 =\ ?

To find the Tension in each of the ropes, we make use of the equation from Newton's Second Laws of Motion:

F = m\ *\ a

Where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration ( In this case the block is under gravity. Hence ''a" becomes acceleration due to gravity  g = 9.8m/s^2 )

For the First Rope

Total mass hanging on it; m_T = m_1 + m_2 = 5.0kg + 10.0kg = 15.0kg

So Tension of the rope;

F = m\ * \ g\\\\F = 15.0kg \ * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 147 kg.m/s^2\\\\F = 147N

Therefore, the tension in the first rope is 147 Newton

For the Second Rope

Since only the block of mass 10kg is hang from the second, the tension in the second rope will be;

F = m\ * \ g\\\\F = 10.0kg \ * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 98 kg.m/s^2\\\\F = 98N

Therefore, the tension in the second rope is 98 Newton

lapo4ka [179]

Without an atmosphere, the equatorial curve would show minimum daily values on the solstices in June when the sub-solar point is located at 23.5°N and in December when the sub-solar point is at 23.5°S latitude.

Explanation:

At the sub-solar point, the sun strikes directly at the surface with an angle of 90 degrees at a given point.

Solistice refers to that point in time when the sun’s zenith is located at the farthest point from the equator.  

During summer solistice on June 21, the sun’s zenith reaches northernmost point, sub-solar point is fixed at 23.5°S Tropic of Cancer making the earth tilt 23.4 degrees

During winter soliscitse on December 21, the sub-solar point is fixed at)  Tropic of Capricorn.

leva [86]

The acceleration of this item will remain constant if I double the force and double the mass.

<h3>What does acceleration mean ?</h3><h3 />

The rate at which a moving object's speed and direction change over time. When something moves faster or slower, it is considered to be accelerating. Motion on a circle accelerates even while the speed is constant because the direction is always changing.

  • If an object is accelerating and moving in the appropriate direction, it has positive acceleration. The speeding automobile in the first scenario showed positive acceleration. The car is moving forward and accelerating in the same direction as the acceleration.
