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.

(b) A car of mass 3000 kg travels at a constant velocity of 5.0 m/s.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

16.7 s

Explanation:

T= <u>Vf - Vo</u>          a= <u>F</u>

         a                    m

4,500 / 3000 = 1.5 (a)

30 - 5 / 1.5(a) = 16.7 s

To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a sp
motikmotik

Answer:

0.79 s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:

\sum F_x:f_{max}=ma_x\\\sum F_y:N-mg=0

The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that f_{max}=\mu N

Now, we find the acceleration:

\mu N=ma_x\\\mu mg=ma_x\\a_x=\mu g\\a_x=0.83(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\a_x=8.134\frac{m}{s^2}

Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:

x=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\2x=a_xt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.2m)}{8.134\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=0.79 s

9. A radioisotope has a half-life of 4.50 min and an initial decay rate of 8400 Bq. What will be
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

525 Bq

Explanation:

The decay rate is directly proportional to the amount of radioisotope, so we can use the half-life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

A is the final amount

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is the time,

T is the half life

A = (8400 Bq) (½)^(18.0 min / 4.50 min)

A = (8400 Bq) (½)^4

A = (8400 Bq) (1/16)

A = 525 Bq
