A large crate is suspended from the end of a vertical rope. Is the tension in the rope greater when the crate is at rest or when

it is moving upward at constant speed? If the crate is traveling upward, is the tension in the rope greater when the crate is speeding up or when it is slowing down? In each case, explain in terms of Newton’s laws of motion.

Answer:

Part a)

the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

tension force is more than the weight of the crate while accelerating upwards

tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

Explanation:

Part a)

When large crate is suspended at rest or moving with uniform speed then it is given as

F_t - mg = ma

here since speed is constant or it is at rest

so we will have

a = 0

F_t = mg

so the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

Now let say the crate is accelerating upwards

now we can say

F_t - mg = ma

F_t = mg + ma

so tension force is more than the weight of the crate

Now if the crate is accelerating downwards

F_t - mg = -ma

F_t = mg - ma

so tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

For a spring oscillating in simple harmonic motion, at what point will the velocity of
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

equilibrium position.

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion , velocity v(t) is given by,

v(t) = -ω A sin(ωt + φ)

where

ω = angular velocity of the corresponding circular motion

A = amplitude

t = time

φ = the initial angle of the corresponding circular motion when the motion begin.

v (t) get maximized when sin value is maximized , i.e. sin \alpha=1

The particle has maximum speed when it passes through the equilibrium position.

Which of the following are scalar quantities?
kirill [66]

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?
azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located
const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

v = \lambda f

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

\lambda = 2.5 m

f = 10 Hz

now speed of the wave is given as

v = 10(2.5)

v = 25 m/s

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

t = \frac{L}{v}

t = \frac{5}{25}

t = 0.2 s
