A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 555 N. As the drawing sh

ows, she is closer to the left cliff than to the right cliff, with the result that the tensions in the left and right sides of the rope are not the same. Find the tension in the rope to the left of the mountain climber.

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The tension in the rope on the left of the mountain climber is $T_a = 1106 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the mountain climber is m = 555 N

Generally from the diagram , the total amount of force acting on the rope along the vertical axis at equilibrium is mathematically represented as

$T_a* cos 65 -555 + T_b * cos(85) = 0$

Here $T_a, T_b$ are the tension of the rope on the left and on the right hand side

So

$0.423T_a + 0.0871T_b = 555$

=> $0.0871T_b = 555 - 0.423T_a$

=> $T_b = \frac{555 - 0.423T_a}{0.0871}$

Generally from the diagram , the total amount of force acting on the rope along the horizontal axis at equilibrium is mathematically represented as

$T_a* sin 65 - T_b * sin(85) = 0$

=> $0.9063T_a - 0.9962T_b = 0$

=> $0.9063T_a = 0.9962T_b$

=> $0.9063T_a = 0.9962[\frac{555 - 0.423T_a}{0.0871}]$

=> $0.9063T_a = [\frac{552.891 - 0.421T_a}{0.0871}]$

=> $0.0789T_a = [552.891 - 0.421T_a$

=> $0.4999T_a = 552.891$

=> $T_a = 1106 \ N$

The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

The function s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line. Suppose s (2 )equals 146and s (6 )equals

sineoko [7]

Answer:

v(t) = 27 units

Explanation:

The function s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line such that,

$s(2)=146$

and

$s(6)=254$

We need to find the average velocity of the object over the interval of time [2,6]. The velocity of the object is equal to the total distance divided by time. It is given by :

$v(t)=\dfrac{s(6)-s(2)}{6-2}$

$v(t)=\dfrac{254-146}{6-2}$

v(t) = 27 units

So, the average velocity of the object is 27 units. Hence, this is the required solution.

When a battery, a resistor, a switch, and an inductor form a circuit and the switch is closed, the inductor acts to oppose the c

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The time constant becomes twice.

Explanation:

$T$ = Time constant of the L-R circuit

$L$ = Inductance of the inductor

$R$ = Resistance of the resistor

Time constant of the L-R circuit is given as

$T = \frac{L}{R}\\$

$T_{1}$ = initial time constant of the L-R circuit = $T$

$T_{2}$ = final time constant of the L-R circuit

$L_{1}$ = Initial inductance of the inductor = $L$

$L_{2}$ = Initial inductance of the inductor = $2L$

For the same resistance, the time constant depend directly on the inductance, hence

$\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} = \frac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}\\\frac{T}{T_{2}} = \frac{L}{2L}\\\frac{T}{T_{2}} = \frac{1}{2}\\T_{2} = 2T$

Which statements belong to dalton's atomic theory? select all that apply

kvv77 [185]

The answers would be:

3. Atoms cannot be broken down into smaller pieces (or indivisible)

4. All atoms of an element are identical.

5. Chemical reactions cause atoms to be rearranged.

Although all of the statements regarding atoms are true, because of the technology during Dalton's time, the others were not yet discovered. As time progressed modifications were made which built our modern atomic theory.
