Answer:

La magnitud de la masa del peso es 78.447 libras-masa.

Explanation:

La tensión es una fuerza de reacción de la cuerda causada por la acción de una fuerza externa. En este caso, esa fuerza externa es el peso que cuelga en el centro de la cuerda. Abajo hemos adjuntado una representación simplificada del enunciado.

Por las leyes de Newton, tenemos la siguiente ecuación de equilibrio conformada por tres fuerzas:

\vec T_{1} + \vec T_{2} + \vec W = (0, 0)\, [N] (1)

Donde:

\vec T_{1}, \vec T_{2} - Tensiones a cada lado de la cuerda, en newtons.

\vec W- Peso, en newtons.

Si sabemos que \vec T_{1} = T\cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha), \vec T_{2} = T\cdot (-\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) y \vec W = W\cdot (0, -1), entonces tenemos la siguiente ecuación vectorial:

T\cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) + T\cdot (-\cos\alpha, \sin \alpha) + W\cdot (0, -1) = (0,0)

T\cdot (0, 2\cdot \sin \alpha) = W\cdot (0, 1)

Esto permite reducir la anterior expresión a una fórmula escalar:

2\cdot T\cdot \sin \alpha = W

Donde \alpha es el ángulo de inclinación de la cuerda, medido en grados sexagesimales.

El ángulo de inclinación de la cuerda se determina mediante la siguiente fórmula trigonométrica inversa es:

\alpha = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{2\,ft}{10\,ft}\right)

\alpha \approx 11.310^{\circ}

Si conocemos que \alpha \approx 11.310^{\circ} y T = 200\,lbf, entonces la magnitud del peso es:

W = 2\cdot (200\,lb)\cdot \sin 11.310^{\circ}

W \approx 78.447\,lbf

En el Sistema Imperial, las fuerzas son medidas en forma gravitacional, entonces la magnitud de la fuerza gravitacional del peso equivale a la magnitud de su masa. En síntesis, la magnitud de la masa es 78.447\,lbm.

La magnitud de la masa del peso es 78.447 libras-masa.

Houses with carpet are much quieter than houses with tile or hardwood floors because of sound wave A) absorption. B) diffraction
fgiga [73]
<span><u>Answer </u>
A). Absorption

<u>Explanation </u>
Sound travels inform of waves. Waves have certain properties. They can be reflected, diffracted refracted, they can also be absorbed. Some materials such as cotton and other soft materials absorbs wave sounds. When this waves are absorbs sound cannot be heard.
For this reason, houses with carpet are much quieter because carpet absorbs sound wave better than hardwood, and tiles.

A certain organ pipe, open at both ends, produces a fundamental frequency of 288 Hz in air. Part A If the pipe is filled with he
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

773.25 Hz

Explanation:

Concept : In an open organ pipe in fundamental mode of vibration

wave length of wave λ = 2L

where L  is length of  the pipe

frequency   = velocity of sound / λ

Given values: fundamental frequency = 288 Hz

fluid is air. velocity of sound = 340 m/s

⇒ 288 = 340/2L

⇒L = 59.02 cm

The point to be noted is if the pipe is filled with helium initially at the same temperature, there would be change in the sound velocity .Then,  frequency of note produced will also be changed .

We know that velocity of sound is inversely proportional to  square root of molar mass of gas

velocity of sound in air / velocity of sound in helium = Square root of (Molar mass of Helium/ molar mass of air)

\frac{V_a}{V_{He}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{28.8} } \\\frac{340}{V_{He}} =0.3725\\V_{He} =912.5 m/s

Now, frequency  = velocity of sound / λ

= 912.75 / (2 x 0.5902)

= 773.25 Hz

Comic-strip hero superman meets an asteroid in outer space, and hurls it at 850 m/s, as fast as a bullet. the asteroid is three
Vesnalui [34]

Before the asteroid is threw, the total momentum is zero, since neither Superman nor the asteroid are moving.

Conservation of momentum commands the total momentum after the astronaut is threw must be zero too. This means that Superman's backward momentum afterward throwing the asteroid is equivalent to the asteroid forwards momentum, in size. 

Momentum is mass times velocity. We know the mass of the asteroid is 1000M and its velocity is 850 m/s, so its momentum is 
(1000M)(850 m/s) = 850,000M m/s. 

So to get the answer: dividing by Superman's mass, M, gives his recoil velocity o 850,000 m/s.
