A helicopter flies over the arctic ice pack at a constant altitude, towing an airborne 129-kg laser sensor that measures the thi

ckness of the ice (see the drawing). The helicopter and the sensor both move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 2.84 m/s2 . Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor.

Answer:

1317.52 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of sensor = m = 129 kg

Acceleration of the sensor = a = 2.84 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F_m = Force on the laser sensor due to motion = 129×2.84 = 366.36 N

F_g = Force due to gravity on the laser = mg = 129×9.81 = 1265.49 N

Tension in the cable

T=\sqrt{F_m^2+F_h^2}\\\Rightarrow T=\sqrt{366.36^2+1265.49^2}\\\Rightarrow T=1317.52\ N

∴ The tension in the cable towing the sensor is 1317.52 Newton

A 35 kg boy is riding a 65 kg go-cart. He pushes on the gas pedal, causing the cart to accelerate at 5 m/s2. Use the equation F
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 500 \ Newtons }}

Explanation:

The equation for force is given:

F=m*a

First, we must find the total mass, which is the sum of the boy's mass and the go-cart's mass.

  • total mass= boy's mass + go cart's mass

The boy's mass is 35 kilograms and the go cart's is 65 kilograms.

  • total mass= 35 kg+ 65 kg=100 kg

Now we know the total mass and the acceleration.

m= 100 \ kg \\a= 5 \ m/s^2

Substitute the values into the formula.

F=100 \ kg * 5 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

F= 500 \ kg*m/s^2

  • 1 kilograms meter per square second is equal to 1 Newton.
  • Our answer of 500 kg*m/s² is equal to 500 Newtons.

F= 500 \ N

The force exerted by the go cart engine is <u>500 Newtons.</u>

With what minimum speed must you toss a 200 g ball straight up to just touch the 14-m-high roof of the gymnasium if you release
Brut [27]
When they say use energy, you want to use

Total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = mgh + 1/2mv²

I assume you mean 200 g ball,

so, we know the total distance traveled is going to be 13 - 1.3 = 11.7 m

If the ball just makes it to the top ( 13 m ) , then the ball will stop moving and the kinetic energy will be 0,

therefore, the potential energy at the top will be the total energy of the system = mgh

from this, we say that mgh = 1/2mv² solve for v

<span> v = sqrt (2gh) = 15.2 m/s </span>

A disk is uniformly accelerated from rest with angular acceleration α. The magnitude of the linear acceleration of a point on th
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

a_t = R\alpha

2) Centripetal acceleration

a_c = \omega^2 R

here we know that

\omega = \alpha t

a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}

so we have

a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}

a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}
