Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

T = 275 N

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass m₁ = 42.p0 kg

Mass m₂ = 21.0 kg

Consider both masses to be in a whole system, then:

The acceleration can be determined as:

(m_1+m_2)a = g(m_1-m_2)

Making acceleration the subject in the above formula;

a =\dfrac{g(m_1-m_2)}{(m_1+m_2)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(42.0-21.0)}{(42.0+21.0)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(21.0)}{(63.0)}

a =\dfrac{205.8}{(63.0)}

a = 3.27 m/s²

in the string, the tension is calculated using the formula:

T = \dfrac{2m_1m_2g}{(m_1+m_2)}

T = \dfrac{2(42)(21)(9.81)}{(42+21)}

T = \dfrac{17304.84}{63}

T = 274.68 N

T ≅ 275 N

In the Bohr model of hydrogen, the electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. (a) Determine the orbital frequency of
Airida [17]

Answer:

(a) 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s or hertz

(b) 8.21 * 10^14 rev/s or hertz

Explanation:

Fn= 4π^2k^2e^4m * z^2/(h^3*n^3)

Where Fn is frequency at all levels of n.

Z = 1 (nucleus)

e = 1.6 * 10^-19c

m = 9.1 * 10^-31 kg

h = 6.62 * 10-34

K = 9 * 10^9 Nm2/c2

(a) for groundstate n = 1

Fn = 4 * π^2 * (9*10^9)^2*(1.6*10^-19)^4* (9.1 * 10^-31) * 1 / (6.62 * 10^-31)^3 = 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s

(b) first excited state

n = 1

We multiple the groundstate answer by 1/n^3

6.567 * 10^15 rev/s/ 2^3

F2 = 8.2 * 10^ 14 rev/s

Q3. You throw a ball into the air, it reaches a certain height and then comes back to you.
Grace [21]

The If a car is going round a curve , there is an acceleration because the direction of the velocity changes.

<h3>What is the direction of the velocity?</h3>

Now we know that if you throw the ball upwards, the motion is in opposite direction to gravity thus the ball is experiencing deceleration and the speed decreases. The velocity decreases and the acceleration is negative.

If the ball is coming down, then the ball is accelerated thus it speeds up and the direction of the acceleration is positive.

If a car is going round a curve, the vehicle is accelerating because the direction of the velocity changes even if its amount remains constant.

When a board is moving down a hill at 2 ms-1, it is experiencing an acceleration because the motion is in the same direction as gravity.

If a car is coming to a stop at a point, it experiences a deceleration and not an acceleration since the change of velocity with time is negative as the car comes to rest.

URGENT!!! DUE AT 11:59, PLEASE DON’T POST A LINK FOR THIS ANSWER AND BE STRAIGHT FORWARD! Bronco the skydiver, whose mass is 100
kirill [66]

a = 7.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let Fnet = net force = ma

m = mass of the skydiver

a = acceleration caused by Fnet

W = weight = mg

f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance

Fnet = W - f(air)

= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)

= 780 N

Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is

a = Fnet/m

= (780 N)/(100 kg)

= 7.8 m/s^2
