Answer:

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of tube = 5 m (500 cm)

Mass of tube = 9

Suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm.

Computation:

Force = Mass × gravity acceleration.

Force = 9.8 x 9

Force = 88.2 N

So,

Upward forces = Downward forces

D1 = 150 - 50 = 100 cm

D2 = 150 + 50 = 200 cm

And F1 = F2

F1 x D1 = F2 x D2

F1 x 100 = F2 x 200

F = 2F

Total force = Upward forces + Downward forces

3F = 88.2

F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

according to newton's second law of motion of the net force acting on the object increases while the mass of the object remains
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The Acceleration will increase

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of motion: It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes places along the direction of the force.

It can be expressed mathematically as,

F ∝ m(v-u)/t

Where (v-u)/t = a

F  = kma.

F = force, m = mass of the body, a = acceleration, k = constant of proportionality which tend to unity for a unit force, a unit mass, and a unit acceleration.

Therefore,

F = ma.

From the equation above,

If the net force acting on a body increase, while the mass of the body remains constant, the acceleration will also increase.

What is the mechanical advantage of the level shown below?
snow_lady [41]

the correct answer is B. 1.27

Mechanical advantage of a lever is simply the ratio of the effort arm to the load arm.Effort arm is the distance from the pivot to the point of application of force while load arm is the distance of the lord from the pivot.

therefore, in this question, the effort arm is 0.28m while the load arm is 0.22 m. MA is calculated as follows: MA=effort arm/load arm

                                                         =0.28m/0.22m=1.27

A soccer player icks a rock horizontally off a 40m high cliff into a pool f water if the player hears the sound of the splash s
Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 9.936 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of cliff = 40 m

speed of sound = 343 m/s

assuming that time to reach the sound to the player = 3 s

now,

time taken to fall of ball

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 40}{9.8}}

t = 2.857 s

distance

d = v  x t

d = v x 2.875

time traveled by the sound before reaching the player

t_0 = t - t_{fall}

t_0 = 3 - 2.875

t_0 = 0.143 s

distance traveled by the wave in this time'

r = 0.143 x 343

r= 49.05 m

now,

we know.

d² + h² = r²

d² + 40² = 49.05²

d =28.387 m

v x 2.875=28.387 m

v = 9.936 m/s

While in empty space, an astronaut throws a ball at a velocity of 11 m/s. what will the velocity of the ball be after it has tra
Aliun [14]
In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.

(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)

Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
 
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.
