To make extra money during the summer, Mr. Garber, a 66.0-kg physics teacher, paints the outside of houses while sitting on a 5.

0-kg plank suspended by three vertical cables. What is the tension in each of the three cables?

The total mass of Mr. Garber and the plank is 71kg. We can find the tension in the cable by dividing the gravitational force by 3. So let's solve for the gravitational force.

$F_{g} = (71kg)*(9.81m/s) = 696.51N$

Next divide by three because the tension is split.

$F_{T} = 696.51/3 = 232.17N$

$F_{T} = 232.17N$

Answer:

1) The temperature will be closer to water

2) T = 68.239°C

3) T = 72.142°C

4) T = 69.266 °C

Explanation:

1)

The temperature will be closer to water because the heat capacity of water > heat capacity of coffee.

2)

137(1.089)(T - 23.8) = 137(4.186)(79.8 - T)

⇒(1.089)(T - 23.8) = (4.186)(79.8 - T)

⇒1.089 T - 25.9182 = 334.0428 - 4.186 T

⇒1.089 T + 4.186 T = 334.0428 + 25.9182

⇒5.275 T = 359.961

⇒ T = 68.239°C

3)

137(1.089)(T - 23.8) = 225(4.186)(79.8 - T)

⇒(149.193)(T - 23.8) = (941.85)(79.8 - T)

⇒149.193 T - 3550.7934 = 75159.63 - 941.85 T

⇒149.193 T + 941.85 T = 75159.63 + 3550.7934

⇒1091.043 T = 78710.4234

⇒ T = 72.142°C

4)

137(1.089)(T - 23.8) + 11.7(4.186)(T - 5.2)= 225(4.186)(79.8 - T)

⇒(149.193)(T - 23.8) + 48.9762(T - 5.2) = (941.85)(79.8 - T)

⇒149.193 T - 3550.7934 + 48.9762 T - 254.67624= 75159.63 - 941.85 T

⇒149.193 T + 941.85 T + 48.9762 T = 75159.63 + 3550.7934 + 254.67624

⇒1091.043 T + 48.9762 T = 78710.4234 + 254.67624

⇒1140.0192 T = 78965.09964

⇒ T = 69.266 °C

A uniformly charged sphere has a potential on its surface of 450 V. At a radial distance of 7.2 m from this surface, the potenti

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 3.6 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential of first sphere = 450 V

Radial distance = 7.2 m

If the potential of sphere =150 V

We need to calculate the radius

Using formula for potential

For 450 V

$V=\dfrac{kQ}{r}$

$450=\dfrac{kQ}{r}$ ....(I)

For 150 V

$150=\dfrac{kQ}{r+7.2}$ ....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

$\dfrac{450}{150}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ}{r}}{\dfrac{kQ}{r+7.2}}$

$3=\dfrac{(r+7.2)}{r}$

$3r=r+7.2$

$r=\dfrac{7.2}{2}$

$r=3.6\ m$

Hence, The radius of the sphere is 3.6 m.

Coherent light with wavelength 599 nm passes through two very narrow slits with separation of 20 μm, and the interference patter

goblinko [34]

Answer:

134.77 mm

Explanation:

Wave length of light λ = 599 x 10⁻⁹ m

Slit separation d = 20 x 10⁻⁶ m

Screen distance D = 3 m

Distance of second dark fringe from centre

= 1.5 x λ D / d

Putting the values given above

distance = $\frac{1.5\times599\times10^{-9}\times 3}{20\times10^{-6}}$

= 134.77 x 10⁻³ m

= 134.77 mm.

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 45m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= -7 \ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

$a= \frac {v_f-v_i}{t}$

The object accelerates <em>from</em> 45 meters per second <em>to </em>10 meters per second in 5 seconds. Therefore,

$v_f=10 \ m/s \\v_i= 45 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a= \frac{ 10 \ m/s - 45 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Solve the numerator.

$a= \frac { -35 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= -7 \ m/s/s$

$a= -7 \ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is -7 meters per square second. The acceleration is negative because the object's velocity decreases and the object slows down.
