Calculate the tension (in N) in a vertical strand of spiderweb if a spider of mass 5.00 ✕ 10-5 kg hangs motionless on it.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the vertical strand of spiderweb  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg

Unknown:

Tension in the vertical strand  = ?

Solution:

The tension is the vertical strand will be the weight of the strand.

  Weight of strand  = mg

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg  x 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

Light enters air from water. The angle of refraction will be A. less than the angle of incidence. B. greater than or equal to th
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

Explanation:

Snell's law states that:

n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r (1)

where

n_i, n_r are the refractive index of the first and second medium

\theta_i, \theta_r are the angle of incidence and refraction, respectively

For light moving from water to air, we have:

n_i = 1.33 (index of refraction of water)

n_r = 1.00 (index of refraction of air)

Substituting into (1) and re-arranging the equation, we get

\sin \theta_r = \frac{n_i}{n_r} sin \theta_i = 1.33 sin \theta_i

which means that

\theta_r > \theta_i

so, the correct answer is

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

A student measures the volume of a gas sample at several different temperatures. The results are tabulated as follows:Temperatur
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Check the first and the third choices:

<u><em /></u>

  • <u><em>a. The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume</em></u>
  • <u><em>b. The temperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant.</em></u>

Explanation:

Rewrite the table for better understanding:

Temperature of gas (K)     Volume of gas (L)

     298                                     4.55

     315                                      4.81

     325                                     4.96

     335                                        ?

Calculate the ratios temperature to volume with 3 significant figures:

  • 298 / 4.55 = 65.5
  • 315 / 4.81 = 65.5
  • 325 / 4.96 = 65.5

Then, those numbers show a <u><em>constant temperature-to-volume ratio</em></u>, which may be expressed in a formula as:

  • Temperature / Volume = constant, which is a directly proportional variation (the volume increases in a constant proportion to the increase of the temperature).

Hence, the correct choices are:

  • The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume (first statement), and
  • The emperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant (third statement).
