A gymnast of mass 70.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t

hat the rope does not stretch. Use the value 9.81m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity. Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope.

Answer:

T = 686.7N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law in this case there is no acceleration,

      ∑ F = ma

      T -W = 0

The gymnast's weight is

     W = mg

We clear and calculate the tension

     T = mg

     T = 70 9.81

     T = 686.7N

Acar accelerates from 4 meters/second to 16 meters/second in 4 seconds. The car's acceleration is
s2008m [1.1K]

To understand this question, you need to understand the concept of acceleration first. Have you ever been in a car and noticed that it was getting faster and faster? That "speeding up" of the car is known as acceleration! Acceleration is essentially the rate at which you speed up.

Okay, so we now know what acceleration is. What are its units? The unit of acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time: \frac{∆v}{t}

If you haven't learned about velocity yet, just think about it as speed for now. The funny-looking triangle, ∆, is a symbol for "the change of." For example, if I started walking at 3 \frac{feet}{second} then sped up to 5 \frac{feet}{second}, then the change in my speed would be 2 \frac{feet}{second}, because I started walking 2 \frac{feet}{second} faster!

Okay, enough with all the explanations. Hopefully, you understand the units now. Let's take a look at the question. A car accelerates from 4 \frac{meters}{second} to 16 \frac{meters}{second}  in 4 seconds. What would the acceleration be? Let's set up an equation:

a = \frac{∆v}{t}

a is the acceleration, ∆v is the change in velocity, and t is the time elapsed.

Now, let's plug in our values! ∆v is the change in velocity, and to find that we simply have to subtract 16 \frac{meters}{second} by 4 \frac{meters}{second}. That makes sense, right? Back to the equation.

a = \frac{∆v}{t}
a = \frac{16-4}{4}

(16 - 4 is the change in velocity, and 4 is the number of seconds the car was accelerating)

a = \frac{12}{4}

a = 3 (\frac{meters}{second^{2}})

We have our answer! The car's acceleration is 3 meters per second^{2}.

(You might be thinking: Wait. Meters per second squared? The reason for that is because acceleration is the rate at which the speed increases! That makes the unit \frac{\frac{meters}{second}}{second}, which can be simplified down to \frac{meters}{second^{2} })

Let me know if you need clarification on anything I explained here!

A ____________ is a machine which contains a lever and a wedge that combine to make work easier.
Katarina [22]

Answer: Simple machine

  • The movable inclined plane is called wedge.
  • A simple machine is a machine, which contains lever and wedge, is used to push the things apart.  
  • The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of length of its slope to its width.

A bowling ball has a weight of 70 Newton’s on earth. What is it’s mass on earth? What’s it mass on the moon?
AnnyKZ [126]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

  70 N  =  (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by  (9.8 m/s²) , and you have

    mass  =  70 N / 9.8 m/s²  =  7.14 kg.
___________________________ 

Mass on the moon:

Mass doesn't change.  It's a number that belongs to the bowling ball,
no matter where the ball goes.  If the mass of the bowling ball is 7.14 kg
anywhere, then it's 7.14 kg everywhere ... on Earth, on the moon, on Mars, rolling around in the trunk of my car, or floating in intergalactic space.

However, WEIGHT depends on the gravity wherever the ball happens to be
at the moment.

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.622 m/s².
So the WEIGHT of the ball on the moon is

        (7.14 kg) x (1.622 m/s²) =  11.58 Newtons

                             That's only about 16% of its weight on Earth.
