What happens when a vector is multiplied by a scalar?

Physics
1 answer:
iogann1982 [59]4 years ago
3 0

The scalar operates only on the magnitude of the vector. 
So the length of the vector may change ... becoming longer
or shorter ... but its direction doesn't change.

What is the tension in the string if the turntable is held fixed, with the mass hanging from the pulley (i. e. , the mass is sta
Paladinen [302]

Weight of the mass is the tension in the string if the turntable is held fixed, with the mass hanging from the pulley

Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth. Weight (symbolized w ) is a quantity representing the force exerted on a particle or object by an acceleration field, particularly the gravitational field of the Earth at the surface.

The tension force is defined as the force that is transmitted through a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides. The tension force is directed over the length of the wire and pulls energy equally on the bodies at the ends.

The direction of tension is the pull which is given the name tension. Thus, the tension will point away from the mass in the direction of the string/rope. In case of the hanging mass, the string pulls it upwards, so the string/rope exerts an upper force on the mass and the tension will be in the upper side.

Tension will act opposite the the weight of the mass attached in order to maintain equilibrium .

What is the maximum acceleration of a platform that oscillates at amplitude 4.70 cm and frequency 6.50 Hz?
mylen [45]

Answer:

78.315 m/s²

Explanation:

Amplitude, A = 4.70 cm = 0.047 m

Frequency, f = 6.50 Hz

Angular frequency, ω = 2 π f = 2 x 3.14 x 6.50 = 40.82 rad/s

Maximum acceleration, a = ω² A

a = 40.82 x 40.82 x 0.047

a = 78.315 m/s²

A barge floating in fresh water (p = 1000 kg/m3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 550 m2 and height H
Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) \Delta m = 330000\,kg, b) h = 1.268\,m

Explanation:

a) According the Archimedes' Principle, the buoyancy force is equal to the displaced weight of surrounding liquid. The mass of the coal in the barge is:

\Delta m \cdot g = \rho_{w}\cdot g \cdot \Delta V

\Delta m = \rho_{w}\cdot \Delta V

\Delta m = \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (550\,m^{2})\cdot (1.05\,m-0.45\,m)

\Delta m = 330000\,kg

b) The submersion height is found by using the equation derived previously:

\Delta m = \rho_{w}\cdot \Delta V

450000\,kg = \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot (550\,m^{2})\cdot (h-0.45\,m)

The final submersion height is:

h = 1.268\,m
