The person in the middle weighs 500 n, and the tension on the rope is 400 n. what is the weight of the scaffolding?

Typically a scaffolding has two ropes to support it. One on the left most side while the other one is on the right most side. Based on equilibrium rule, the summation of forces must be 0. The downward force is the weight of person and scaffolding, while the upward force are the tensions on the two ropes, hence:

Weight person + Weight scaffolding = 2 * Tension

500 N + Weight scaffolding = 2 * 400 N

Weight scaffolding = 300 N

Which characteristic of a sound is affected by the amount of energy used to create that sound? In what direction the sound will
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

How loud or soft the sound is

Explanation:

The loudness of a sound wave is given by the amount of energy that the pressure wave carries and it is measured in decibels (dB) which is the relative intensity of the pressure wave of a sound to the standard pressure

A loud sound has a high amplitude and a soft sound has a low amplitude, such that as the amplitude of the sound is increased, due to increased energy input, the sound becomes louder, and as the amplitude of the sound is decreased due to reduced energy input, the sound becomes softer.

Blake is setting up his tent at a renaissance fair. If the tent is 8 feet tall and the tether can be staked no more than 2 feet
Mariana [72]
The stake, height and tether length of the tent form a right angle triangle where the tether length is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem:
length² = height² + (stake distance)²
length = √(8² + 2²)
length = 8.5 feet

Two mass m1 and m2 lie on a frictionless surface. Between the two masses is a compressed spring, with spring constant k. The sys
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The spring was compressed the following amount:

\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }

Explanation:

Use conservation of energy between initial and final state, considering that the surface id frictionless, and there is no loss in thermal energy due to friction. the total initial energy is the potential energy of the compressed spring (by an amount \Delta x), and the total final energy is the addition of the kinetic energies of both masses:

E_i=\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2\\\\E_f=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2

E_i=E_f\\

\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2\\k\,(\Delta x)^2=m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2\\(\Delta x)^2=\frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} \\\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }
