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

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, <u>for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing</u>.

A particle moving along the x-axis has its position described by the function x=(3.00t3−1.00t 2.00)m where t is in s. at t = 4.0
prohojiy [21]
X =(3.00x4.00 x3-1.00t x 2.00) x m

x= (12.00x3- 1.00 x2.00) x m
x= 36.00 -1.00 x 2.00) x m
x = (36.00 -2.00) x m
x =( 34.00) x m
x =34.00   times m

A car speeding down the highway honks its horn, which has a frequency 392 Hz, but a resting bystander hears the frequency 440 Hz
Natali [406]

Answer:

37.42 m/s

Explanation:

We know that apparent frequency, \bar f is given by

\bar f=f\frac {V}{V-V_s} where f is the given frequency in this case 392, V is the speed of sound in air which is given as 343 and V_s is the speed of car which is unknown, \bar f is given as 440 Hz

440=392\times \frac {343}{343-V_s}\\343-V_s=392\times \frac {343}{440}=305.5818182\\V_s=343-305.5818182=37.41818182\approx 37.42 m/s

Modern nuclear bomb tests have created an extra high level of14C in our atmosphere. When future archaeologistsdate samples from
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Too old(Ex. if real time is 1000 then they estimate >1000)

Explanation:

This is because with time our planet may have a definite function which describes temperature.(Because of all the factors and global warming except nuclear bomb testing)

Now nuclear test on planet have significant effect on temperature rise.

Also 14°C rise in temperature is good one because of this.

If future archaeologists only consider that  uniform function as above mentioned then they estimate more time then the real one.

Thus too old is right answer.
