Answer:

<em> 88.29 N</em>

Explanation:

mass of the ball = 4.5 kg

weight of the ball will be = mass x acceleration due to gravity(9.81 m/s^2)

weight W = 4.5 x 9.81 = 44.145 N

<em>centrifugal forces Tc act on the ball as it swings</em>.

At the top point of the vertical swing,

Tension on the rope = Tc - W.

At the bottom point of the vertical swing,

Tension on the rope = Tc + W

therefore,

difference in tension between these two points will be;

<em>Net tension = tension at bottom minus tension at the top</em>

= Tc + W - (Tc - W) = Tc + W -Tc + W

= 2W

imputing the value of the weight W, we have

2W = 2 x 44.145 =<em> 88.29 N</em>

A 7.5­kg block is sliding down a wall with constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall
weqwewe [10]
Ok, a couple of things have to be accounted for here.  First, since the block is moving relative to the wall we have to use the kinetic coefficient of friction, 0.40.  The second consideration is that since the block is moving at a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.  This means, by Newton's second Law, that the net force is zero.  So the force of gravity must be equal to the friction force of the wall resisting its fall. This friction force is the product of the normal force (which we are seeking) and the kinetic coefficient of friction. We can then set these two forces equal:

F_{gravity}=mg \\  \\ F_{friction}=F_{norm} \mu_k \\  \\ mg=F_{norm} \mu_k \\  \\ F_{norm}= \frac{mg}{ \mu_k} \\  \\  F_{norm}= \frac{7.5(9.79)}{0.4}=183.6N

When atoms are split, they release energy. This concept applies to (2 points)
cupoosta [38]

This applies to nuclear reactions, specifically nuclear fission.

This huge release of energy has been used in atomic bombs and in the nuclear reactors that generate electricity.

How you would orient the magnets and what you would do with the magnets to achieve maximum repulsion
Westkost [7]
