Two 25.0N weights are suspended at opposite ends of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. What is the tension in the ro

pe?

Answer:

tension in rope = 25.0 N

Explanation:

Two forces act on the suspended weight. The force coming down is the gravitational force and the upward force by the tension in the rope.

Since the suspended weight is not accelerating so that the net force will be zero. Therefore the tension in the rope should be 25 N.

∑F = F - W = 0

so

F = W

so tension in rope = F = T = 25 N

An eagle is flying horizontally 16.4 meters above a lake at a speed of 9.3 m/s, carrying a small pumpkin in its talons. The pump

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

Explanation:

Given;

height above the ground, h = 16.4 m

speed of the eagle, v = 9.3 m/s

The time it will take the pumpkin to fall at the given height is calculated as;

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2*16.4}{9.8} }\\\\t = 1.83 \ s$

The horizontal distance traveled at this time is given by;

x = vt

x = (9.3)(1.83)

x = 17.02 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.63 m and moment of inertia I = 196 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

299.88 kgm²/s

499.758 kgm²/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of merry-go-round = 1.63 m

I = Moment of inertia = 196 kgm²

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 1.53 rad/s

m = Mass of person = 73 kg

v = Velocity = 4.2 m/s

Initial angular momentum is given by

$L=I\omega_i\\\Rightarrow L=196\times 1.53\\\Rightarrow L=299.88\ kgm^2/s$

The initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round is 299.88 kgm²/s

Angular momentum is given by

$L=mvR\\\Rightarrow L=73\times 4.2\times 1.63\\\Rightarrow L=499.758\ kgm^2/s$

The angular momentum of the person 2 meters before she jumps on the merry-go-round is 499.758 kgm²/s
