An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary

, the tension in the cable was 6000 N. When the craft was lowered or raised at a steady rate, the motion through the water added an 1800 N drag force. What was the tension in the cable when the craft was being lowered to the seafloor?

Answer:

T =  4200N

Explanation:

When the submersible craft is at rest, the tension in the cable is 6000N.

With this information you can calculate the weight of the craft by summing the forces (the summation of the force is zero because the craft is at rest):

T-W=0\\\\W=T=6000N

When the craft is going down with a constant speed, there is a drag force of 1800N. Then, by using the second Newton law you have:

T-W+F_d=0   (1)

Fd: drag force

The summation of the forces is zero because the craft moves with constant velocity, that is, there is no acceleration.

You calculate the new tension on the cable by solving the equation (1) for T:

T=W-Fd=6000N-1800N=4200N

hence, the tension is 4200N

What is the wavelength associated with an electron with a velocity of 4.8X10s m/s? (Mass of the electron is 9.1X10-31kg)?
amid [387]

Answer:

1.52 nm

Explanation:

Using the De Broglie wavelength equation,

λ = h/p where λ = wavelength associated with electron, h = Planck's constant = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js and p = momentum of electron = mv where m = mass of electron = 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg and v = velocity of electron = 4.8 × 10⁵ m/s

So, λ = h/p

λ = h/mv

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

λ = h/mv

λ = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js/(9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg × 4.8 × 10⁵ m/s)

λ = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js/(43.68 × 10⁻²⁶ kgm/s)

λ = 0.1518 × 10⁻⁸ m

λ = 1.518 × 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 1.518 nm

λ ≅ 1.52 nm

Which sentence from the article supports the idea that the visible spectrum is more limited in marine animals than humans? A Mos
lidiya [134]

Most marine bioluminescence is blue-green, which is easier to see in the deep ocean

Explanation:

As per science,  Emission and production of light by a living organism is defined as Bioluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine animals whereas it is triggered by a physical disturbance is seen by humans, such as a moving boat hull or waves.

Throughout the water column bioluminescent organisms live and bioluminescence is extremely common in deep sea which shows that visible spectrum is more limited to marine animals than humans.

What law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object
UNO [17]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be stated  

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

in another form,

Force = mass * acceleration
