An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t

he magnitude of the tension in the string?
The magnitude of the tension in the string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.
The magnitude of the tension in the string is less than the magnitude of the weight of the object.
The tension in the string cannot be determined without knowing the speed of the elevator.
The magnitude of the tension in the string is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the object.
The tension in the string is zero.

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T)   ,   The weight of the object(W) .

                                  ∴ F    =   0

                                 T  -  W  =   0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of  the object.

One component of a magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.062 T and points along the x axis while the other component has a magnitu
adell [148]

Answer:

A) 62.37 x 10^(6) N

B) 59.86°

Explanation:

A) The magnitude of the force F1 due to the 0.062T magnetic field is;

F1 = |qo|(v)(Bx) Sin 90°

F1 = 1.50 x 10^(5)C x 5.8 x 10³m/s x 0.062T = 53.94 x 10^(6) N

Also, the magnitude of the force F2 due to the 0.036T magnetic field is;

F2 = |qo|(v)(By) Sin 90°

F2 = 1.50 x 10^(5)C x 5.8 x 10³m/s x 0.036T = 31.32 x 10^(6) N

Now, using Fleming's right hand rule, we will discover that the net force makes an angle with the x-axis. Let's call the angle θ. Since the forces will be at right angles to each other, then using Pythagoras theorem will get the resultant met force.

Thus;

F =√((F1)² + (F2)²) = √((53.94 x 10^(6))² + (31.32 x 10^(6))²)

= 62.37 x 10^(6) N

B) Since the forces are at right angles to each other, they are opposite and adjacent and since we know that tangent = opp/adj;

tan θ = F1/F2

tan θ = (53.94 x 10^(6)) / 31.32 x 10^(6) = 1.7222

Thus,θ = tan^(-1) 1.7222

θ = 59.86°

When she is traveling at a speed of 24ft/s, how many revolutions per minute are her wheels making?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The angular velocity of the wheel is 1080 rad/min.

Explanation:

Let the radius of the wheel is 16 inches. If the speed of the wheel is 24 ft/s. We need to find the angular speed of the wheel.

Since, 1 ft/s = 720 in/min

So, 24 ft/s = 17280 in/min

Let \omega is the angular velocity of the wheel. It is given by :

v=r\omega

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}

\omega=\dfrac{17280\ in/min}{16\ in}

\omega=1080\ rad/min

So, the angular velocity of the wheel is 1080 rad/min. Hence, this is the required solution.

8. What is the orbital gravitational force of Jupiter? How much stronger is this force than Venus?
zhuklara [117]
Jupiters gravitational pull is about 24.79 m/s to the second power.

Jupiters gravitational force is about 2.8 times stronger than Venus's.

Hope this helped
