Answer:

2 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

The length of a wire, l = 15 m

Force on the wire, F = 60 N

Surface tension on the liquid, S = ?

The formula to solve this problem is given as

F = S * 2 L, where

F = force on the liquid

S = surface tension of the liquid

L= length of the wire

On substituting the values of each, we have

60 = S * (2 * 15)

S = 60 / 30

S = 2 N/m

Thus, we can say then, that the surface tension of the liquid is 2 N/m

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

c. V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i =E_f

so:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IW^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass, g the gravity, h the altitude, I the moment of inertia of the pulley, W the angular velocity of the pulley and V the velocity of the mass.

Also we know that:

V = WR

Where R is the radius of the disk, so:

W = V/R

Also, the moment of inertia of the disk is equal to:

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(5kg)(2m)^2

I = 10 kg*m^2

so, we can write the initial equation as:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IV^2/R^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

Replacing the data:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = \frac{1}{2}(10)V^2/(2)^2 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg)V^2

solving for V:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = V^2(\frac{1}{2}(10)1/4 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg))

V = 2 m/s

An object has a mass of 30 grams and measures 3cmx2cmx1cm. What is the density of the object?
dimulka [17.4K]
The density of the object is the ratio of its mass and volume. From the given dimensions above, we determine the volume through the equation,

      V = L x W x H

Substituting,

    V = (3 cm)(2 cm)(1 cm) = 6 cm³

From the idea presented above,
    d = m/V

Substituting the known values,

   d = (30 g)/ (6 cm³) = 5 g/cm³

ANSWER: 5 g/cm³

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The girl will move with constant velocity

Explanation:

If after a certain time t_0 the velocity of the girl is v_0 =gt_0 and the upward force on the girl due to rope is mg ,where g is gravitational acceleration. Then the girl will move down with the constant velocity v_0 .

The girl will move with constant velocity,as explained above.
