Answer:

A) 1 N

B) 50 N

Explanation:

Let us consider that the string does not deform.

To solve this problem lets consider the whole system as two parts. In the initial case, the first part will be de 100N being exterted to the whole system and in the second the 100 blocks system.

In this case we can imagine as the whole system being pulled by 100 N, and therefore its acceleration will be:

a = 100 N /(100 m)

where m stantds for the mass of one block

Now, the whole system and its individual parts must move with the same acceleration otherwise the string would stretch.

Now lets consider the first part of the system as the first block, and the second part as the other 99 blocks.

The Tension of the string pulling the 99 blocks must be so that it exterts the enough force to move that 99blocks-system at an acceleration a, since that sub-system has a mass of 99m

T1 = 99 m * a = (99 m) * (100 N/ 100 m) = 99 N

Now lets consider an intermidiate sub-system, where the first part is made of n blocks and the second susbsystem is made of (100 -n) blocks

Following the same logic, the tension of the corresponding string must be the acceleration of the whole systems times the mass of the second subsystem:

Tn = (100 -n)m * ( 100 N / 100 m ) = (100 -n) N

a)

Therefore the tension in the string connecting block 100 to block 99 must be

<u>T99 = 1 N</u>

<u />

b)

And

<u>T50 = 50 N</u>

A platinum ball weighing 100 g is removed from a furnace and dropped into 400 g of water at 0 degree C. If the equilibrium tempe
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

T = 1010 degree Celsius

Explanation:

mass of ball (Mb) = 100 g

mass of water (Mw) = 400 g

temp of water = 0 degree

specific heat of platinum (C) = 0.04 cal/g degree celsius

we can calculate the temperature of the furnace from the equation before

Mb x C x (temp of furnace (T) - equilibrium temp) = Mw x (equilibrium temp - temp of furnace)

100 x 0.04 x ( T - 10) = 400 x (10 - 0)

4 (T - 10) = 4000

T - 10 = 1000

T = 1010 degree Celsius

10 basic rules of badminton?​
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The 10 rules of badminton are as follows:

1. A game starts with a coin toss. Whoever wins the toss gets to decide whether they would serve or receive first OR what side of the court they want to be on. The side losing the toss shall then exercise the remaining choice.

2. At no time during the game should the player touch the net, with his racquet or his body.

3. The shuttlecock should not be carried on or come to rest on the racquet.

4. A player should not reach over the net to hit the shuttlecock.

5. A serve must carry cross court (diagonally) to be valid.

6. During the serve, a player should not touch any of the lines of the court, until the server strikes the shuttlecock. During the serve the shuttlecock should always be hit from below the waist.

7. A point is added to a player's score as and when he wins a rally.

8. A player wins a rally when he strikes the shuttlecock and it touches the floor of the opponent's side of the court or when the opponent commits a fault. The most common type of fault is when a player fails to hit the shuttlecock over the net or it lands outside the boundary of the court.

9. Each side can strike the shuttlecock only once before it passes over the net. Once hit, a player can't strike the shuttlecock in a new movement or shot.

10. The shuttlecock hitting the ceiling, is counted as a fault.

A baseball pitcher throws a fastball horizontally at a speed of 43.0 m/s. Ignoring air resistance, how far does the ball drop be
Nady [450]
Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away

The potential difference between two equipotential lines 5.0 mm apart has a value of 1.2 V, calculate the electric field value.
jonny [76]

Answer:

The electric field value is 240 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 5.0 mm

Potential difference = 1.2 V

We need to calculate the electric field value

Using formula of potential difference

\Delta V=Ed

E=\dfrac{\Delta V}{d}

Where, E = electric field

V = potential difference

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{1.2}{5.0\times10^{-3}}

E= 240\ N/C

Hence, The electric field value is 240 N/C
