A sphere of mass of 1.55 kg is accelerated upwards by a string to which the sphere is attached. Its speed increases from 2.81 m/

s to 4.60 m/s in a time of 2.64 s. Calculate the tension in the string, assuming that the tension remains constant during that time.

Answer:

The tension in the string is 16.24 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the sphere, m = 1.55 kg

initial velocity of the sphere, u = 2.81 m/s

final velocity of the sphere, v = 4.60 m/s

duration of change in the velocity, Δt = 2.64 s

The tension of the string is calculated as follows;

T =  ma  + mg\\\\T = m(a + g)\\\\where;\\\\a \ is \ upward \ acceleration \ of \ the \ sphere\\\\g \ is \ acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity =9.8 \ m/s^2\\\\a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{ t} = \frac{4.6 - 2.81 }{2.64} = 0.678 \ m/s^2

T = 1.55(0.678 + 9.8)

T = 1.55(10.478)

T = 16.24 N

Therefore, the tension in the string is 16.24 N

If the distance between two charged particles is increased 2.69 times, the ratio of new to old electric force is _______ times t
Tasya [4]

Answer:

F = K Q1 Q2 / R^2       force between 2 charged partices

F2 / F1 = (R1 / R2)^2 = (1 / 2.69)^2 = .139

F2 = .139 F1

Hi I need help with this question (see image ). ​
Lapatulllka [165]

Explanation:

a) <em>Fixed points</em> are the temperatures at which a thermometer is calibrated. They can refer either to the actual temperatures used for calibration, or the thermometer readings at those temperatures.

__

b) <em>Fundamental interval</em> is the difference between the fixed points. As with fixed points, it can refer either to the difference in actual temperature, or the difference in the corresponding thermometer readings.
