A black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.2

leva [86]

Answer:

Tension = 0.012 N

Explanation:

If the black widow spider is hanging vertically motionless from the ceiling above. Then, the weight of the spider must be balancing the tension in the spider web. Therefore,

Tension = Weight

Tension = mg

where,

m = mass of spider = 1.27 g = 0.00127 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Tension = (0.00127 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Tension = 0.012 N</u>

A kettle is rated at 1 kW, 220 V. Calculate the working resistance of the kettle.

Anna [14]

Explanation:

Power of electric kettle, P = 1 kW

Voltage, V = 220 V

(a) Electric power is given by the formula as follows :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

R is resistance

$R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(220)^2}{10^3}\\\\R=48.4\ \Omega$

(b) When connected to a 220 V supply, it takes 3 minutes for the water in the kettle to reach boiling point.

Energy supplied is given by :

$E=P\times t$

P is power, $P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

$E=\dfrac{V^2}{R}t\\\\E=\dfrac{(220)^2}{48.4}\times 180\\\\E=180000\ J\\\\E=180\ kJ$

How can a wave carry information?

Anon25 [30]

A transmitter “encodes” or modulates messages by varying the amplitude or frequency of the wave – a bit like Morse code. At the other, a receiver tuned to the same wavelength picks up the signal and 'decodes' it back to the desired form

I think it’s A or D

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o

dsp73

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

$F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)$
