A uniform metal tube of length 5m and mass 9kg is suspended by two vertical wires attached at 50cm and 150cm respectively from t
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of tube = 5 m (500 cm)

Mass of tube = 9

Suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm.

Computation:

Force = Mass × gravity acceleration.

Force = 9.8 x 9

Force = 88.2 N

So,

Upward forces = Downward forces

D1 = 150 - 50 = 100 cm

D2 = 150 + 50 = 200 cm

And F1 = F2

F1 x D1 = F2 x D2

F1 x 100 = F2 x 200

F = 2F

Total force = Upward forces + Downward forces

3F = 88.2

F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Explain why the gravitational acceleration of any object near earth is the same matter what was the mass of the object
Gre4nikov [31]
It takes greater force to accelerate an object that has more mass. But the gravitational force between the Earth and an object is greater when the object hass more mass. It works out just right to make any object with any mass accelerate at the same rate.

In a rigid container, as the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas will decrease. t f
Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

What are used by organisms for long-term energy storage
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Fatty acids.

Explanation:

-Long term energy storage is stored in the form of triglycerides .

-They are efficient storing molecules. They are more efficient thatn glycogen(cabohydrates).

-Fatty acids are more calori dense hence them being ideal for long term energy storage.
