Answer: The mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

Explanation:

Using the equation of fundamental frequency of a taut string.

f = (1/2L)*√(T/μ) .... (Eqn1)

Where

f= frequency in Hertz =80Hz

T = Tension in the string = Mg

M represent the mass of the substance (sculpture) =?

g= 9.8m/s^2

L= Length of the string=90cm=0.9m

μ= mass density = mass of string /Length of string

mass of string =5g=0.005kg

L=0.9m

μ=0.005/0.9 = 0.0056kg/m

Using (Eqn1)

80= 1/(2*0.9) √(T/0.0056)

144= √(T/0.0056)

Square both sides

20736= T/0.0056

T= 116.12N

Recall that T =Mg

116.12= M * 9.8

M=116.12/9.8

M= 11.8kg

Therefore the mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

A railroad car moving at a speed of 3.46 m/s overtakes, collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars moving in the same d

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$2.09\ \text{m/s}$

$22298.4\ \text{J}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of each the cars = $1.6\times 10^4\ \text{kg}$

$u_1$ = Initial velocity of first car = 3.46 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial velocity of the other two cars = 1.4 m/s

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the momentum is conserved in the system we have

$mu_1+2mu_2=3mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+2u_2}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3.46+2\times 1.4}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=2.09\ \text{m/s}$

Speed of the three coupled cars after the collision is $2.09\ \text{m/s}$ .

As energy in the system is conserved we have

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mu_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}2mu_2^2-\dfrac{1}{2}3mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 3.46^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 1.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 2.09^2\\\Rightarrow K=22298.4\ \text{J}$

The kinetic energy lost during the collision is $22298.4\ \text{J}$ .

A sculpture is suspended in equilibrium by two cables, one from a wall and the other

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of cable 2 $\theta=37.0\textdegree$

Weight of sculpture $W=5000 N$

Generally the Tension from cable 2 $T_2$ is mathematically given by

$T_2sin37\textdegree=5000N$

$T_2=5000N/sin37\textdegree$

$T_2=8308.2N$

Generally the Tension from Cable 1 $T_1$ is mathematically given by

$T_1=T_2 cos37\textdegree$

$T_1=8308.2* cos 37\textdegree$

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the same direction, the lead car at 25 m/s and the other car at 35 m/s. At the m

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a. $t_1=12.5\ s$

b. $a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}$ must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c. $t_2=2.5714\ s$ is the time taken to stop after braking

Explanation:

Given:

speed of leading car, $u_1=25\ m.s^{-1}$

speed of lagging car, $u_{2}=35\ m.s^{-1}$

distance between the cars, $\Delta s=45\ m$

deceleration of the leading car after braking, $a_1=-2\ m.s^{-2}$

a.

Time taken by the car to stop:

$v_1=u_1+a_1.t_1$

where:

$v_1=0$ , final velocity after braking

$t_1=$ time taken

$0=25-2\times t_1$

$t_1=12.5\ s$

b.

using the eq. of motion for the given condition:

$v_2^2=u_2^2+2.a_2.\Delta s$

where:

$v_2=$ final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0

$a_2=$ acceleration of the chasing car after braking

$0^2=35^2+2\times a_2\times 45$

$a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}$ must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c.

time taken by the chasing car to stop:

$v_2=u_2+a_2.t_2$

$0=35-13.61\times t_2$

$t_2=2.5714\ s$ is the time taken to stop after braking

What happens is a series circuit when you increase the number of bulbs?

Volgvan

The bulbs will produce lesser light than their capacity, In short they will be dimmer because the the energy will get divided in the number of bulbs.
