Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 620 m and diameter 1.5 cm. As the gondola comes to th

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) 89 m/s

(b) 11000 N

Explanation:

Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.

(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

$v=\dfrac{2\times 620 \text{ m}}{14\text{ s}} = \dfrac{1240\text{ m}}{14\text{ s}}=88.571428\ldots \text{ m/s}= 89\text{ m/s}$

(b) The tension, $T$ , is given by

$v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

where $v$ is the speed, $T$ is the tension and $\mu$ is the mass per unit length.

Hence,

$T = \mu\cdot v^{2}$

To determine $\mu$ , we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

$\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}$

where $m$ is the mass and $V$ is the volume.

$m=\rho\cdot V$

If the length is denoted by $l$ , then

$\mu = \dfrac{m}{l} = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l}$

$T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l} v^{2}$

The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3

The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is

$V = \pi \dfrac{d^{2}}{4} l$

$T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2 l}{4l}v^2 = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2}{4}v^2$

$T = \dfrac{8050\times\pi\times0.015^2}{4} \times 88.57^2$

$T = 11159.4186\ldots \text{ N} = 11000 \text{ N}$
