A diamond with a mass of 45 g hangs motionless from a chain. what is the upward force of the chain on the diamond?

1 answer:

6 0

The upward force of the chain on the diamond would be the tension in the chain, and this tension would have to support the weight of the 45g that hangs from the chain.

mass = 45 g = 45/1000 kg = 0.045kg

Weight = mg = 0.045 * 10 ≈ 0.45N, g ≈ 10 m/s²

<span>So the upward force is ≈ </span><span>0.45N. </span>

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th

Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3$

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3$

Now, in 3 balls of tennis, the combined volume will be 3 times the above one, this is:

$3*V = 3*164.5cm^3 = 493.7 cm^3$

) A stone initially moving at 8.0 m/s on a level surface comes to rest due to friction after it travels 11 m. What is the coeffi

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

-0.3

Explanation:

F' = μmg ........... Equation 1

Where F' = Frictional force, μ = coefficient of kinetic friction, m = mass of the stone, g = acceleration due to gravity.

But,

F' = ma ............ Equation 2

Where a = acceleration of the stone.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

ma = μmg

dividing both side of the equation by m

a = μg

make μ the subject of the equation

μ = a/g............... Equation 3

From the equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as................. Equation 4

Where v and u are the final and the initial velocity respectively, s = distance.

Given: v = 0 m/s (to rest), u = 8.0 m/s, s = 11 m.

Substitute into equation 4

0² = 8² + 2×11×a

22a = -64

a = -64/22

a = -32/11 m/s² = -2.91 m/s²

substitute the values of a and g into equation 3

μ = -2.91/9.8

μ = -0.297

μ ≈ -0.3

Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space? Explain.

Damm [24]

Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)

A brick falls to the ground. if the time for the collision of the brick and the ground is increased by a factor of 4, the force

melomori [17]

Answer:

By a factor of 1/4.

Explanation:

The impulse force that applies to an object undergoing rapid deceleration just before coming to a stop on the ground is given by the following formula,

$\\\begin{aligned}\\\small F &=\small \frac{\Delta (mV)}{\Delta T}\end{aligned}$

in which $\small \Delta (mV)$ , $\small \Delta t$ represent the change in momentum and the time taken for that change.

If one increases the time that is taken for the momentum change (which remains constant for this situation) by a factor 4 and if that new force is represented by $\small F_1$ , the following manipulation confirms the answer to this question.

$\begin{aligned}\\\small F_1 &=\small \frac{\Delta (mV)}{4\Delta t}\\\\&=\small \frac{1}{4}\times\bigg[\frac{\Delta (mV)}{\Delta t}\bigg]\\\\&=\small \frac{1}{4}F\end{aligned}$

Here $\small F$ is the force that was applied to the object previously.
