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

what is the mass of vertical column of air that exerts pressure of 1 atm over a10m by 10m square surface

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

$m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg$

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure, P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

Area of the square surface, A = 10² = 100 m²

We need to find the mass of vertical column of air. We know that, pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

$P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\m=\dfrac{PA}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{101325\times 10^2}{10}\\\\m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg$

So, the required mass of the vertical column of air is $1.01\times 10^6\ kg$ .

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what

antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.

-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.

A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.

B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].

C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.

D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.

2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.

-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri

nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The current on the copper is $I = 20 \ A$

The cross-sectional area is $A = 5.261 \ mm^2 = 5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

The number of copper atom in the wire is mathematically evaluated

$n = \frac{\rho * N_a}Z}$

Where $\rho$ is the density of copper with a value $\rho = 8.93 \ g/m^3$

$N_a$ is the Avogadro's number with a value $N_a = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol$

Z is the molar mass of copper with a value $Z = 63.55 \ g/mol$

So

$n = \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}$

$n = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ atoms /m^3$

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is

$N = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ electrons$

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

$I = N * e * v * A$

substituting values

$20 = 8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v * 5.261 *10^{-6}$

=> $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

Manipulate p+x=r to solve for x

Tanzania [10]

X=r-p. Maybe I don't understand, but I am assuming that you need to isolate for X? you simply subtract p from both sides.<span />
