Three boys of equal strength try to break a rope (and fail) by tying one end to a fence post and tugging on the other end. Three

additional boys (about the same strength as the others) come along and offer their assistance. Which of the following will maximize the tension in the rope?
A. It does not matter: the rope sustains the same tension in both cases.
B. Untie the rope from the post and have three boys tug on one end and the remaining three on the other (like a tug- of-war)
C. Keep one end of the rope tied to the post and have all six boys tug on the other end.

The best choice would be C. Keep one end of the rope tied to the post and have all six boys tug on the other end.

Reason:

A is not correct since in the first case which is B, untying the rope from the post and have 3 boys on each end of it tug, will provide equal or a near equal amount of tension since the boys are all within the same strength, however there can be variables that will affect the tension.

That means B would be true according to A, and then for C, having all six boys pull on the other end of the rope would provide greater tension, since if 3 boys of the same strength range can't break the rope when its tied to the fence, we add the other 3 boys of the same strength.

However, if 3 boys are on each end of the rope and of the same strength then the rope will not break since there is an equal amount of net force exerted on the rope.

We know that the fence can withstand the strength of 3 boys but if we add the other 3 boys then it could provide us with a different outcome.

3B < F

3B(2) ≥ F

So, therefore, our best choice would be C since A and B is incorrect.

Find the hiker’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 60m high
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Potential energy is U=mgh

Explanation:

The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.

Potential energy  U=mgh

In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.

But we know the values of g and h

g=9.81m/s^2

h=60m

So, the potential energy

U=m(9.81m/s^2)(60m)\\\\U=588.6*m

m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.

What temperature will 1L of H20 at 200°F become when a piece of copper,0.25kg at 260.928K, comes into contact with water?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of 1 L water = 1 kg .

200⁰F = (200 - 32) x 5 / 9 = 93.33⁰C .

260.928 K = 260.928 - 273 = - 12.072⁰C .

water is at higher temperature .

Let the equilibrium temperature be t .

Heat lost by water = mass x specific heat x  fall of temperature

= 1 x 4.2 x 10³ x ( 93.33 - t )

Heat gained by copper

= .25 x .385 x 10³ x ( t +  12.072 )

Heat lost = heat gained

1 x 4.2 x 10³ x ( 93.33 - t ) = .25 x .385 x 10³ x ( t +  12.072 )

93.33 - t = .0229 ( t + 12.072)

93.33 - t = .0229 t + .276

93.054 = 1.0229 t

t = 90.97⁰C .

An Excerpt from “Optimism”

by Helen Keller

1 Could we choose our environment, and were desire in human undertakings synonymous with

endowment, all men would, I suppose, be optimists. Certainly most of us regard happiness as

the proper end of all earthly enterprise. The will to be happy animates alike the philosopher, the

prince and the chimney-sweep. No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels

that happiness is his indisputable right.

2 It is curious to observe what different ideals of happiness people cherish, and in what singular

places they look for this well-spring of their life. Many look for it in the hoarding of riches, some

in the pride of power, and others in the achievements of art and literature; a few seek it in the

exploration of their own minds, or in the search for knowledge.

3 Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession.

Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they would be!

Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so

measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and

weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so

thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life,—if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to

the creed of optimism is worth hearing....

4 Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then

love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and

joy. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. Now I rejoice in the

consciousness that I can think, act and attain heaven. My life was without past or future; death,

the pessimist would say, “a consummation devoutly to be wished.” But a little word from the

fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the

rapture of living. Night fled before the day of thought, and love and joy and hope came up in a

passion of obedience to knowledge. Can anyone who has escaped such captivity, who has felt

the thrill and glory of freedom, be a pessimist?

5 My early experience was thus a leap from bad to good. If I tried, I could not check the

momentum of my first leap out of the dark; to move breast forward is a habit learned suddenly

at that first moment of release and rush into the light. With the first word I used intelligently, I

learned to live, to think, to hope. Darkness cannot shut me in again. I have had a glimpse of the

shore, and can now live by the hope of reaching it.

6 So my optimism is no mild and unreasoning satisfaction. A poet once said I must be happy

because I did not see the bare, cold present, but lived in a beautiful dream. I do live in a

beautiful dream; but that dream is the actual, the present,—not cold, but warm; not bare, but

furnished with a thousand blessings. The very evil which the poet supposed would be a cruel

6) Read the last sentence from the text.

Only by contact with evil could I have learned to feel by contrast the beauty of truth and love and goodness.

Explain how Helen Keller develops this idea in the text. Use specific details to

support your answer.
