If an exit sign is hanging from the ceiling by three chains each of which has a tension of 15N what is the weight of the sign

Physics

kvasek [131]4 years ago
3 0
The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.

Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)

Which one of the following types of training involves 10 to 30 minutes of high-intensity exercise?
Goshia [24]

Correct answer choice is:



C. Medium range



Explanation:



Medium range exercises are used to gain extra strength and fitness. Usually, heavyweights are used with less number of repetitions. These sort of exercises are mostly the hardest t do. All you need is to have a high level of motivation and stamina, which can be gained by running or cycling.

A car accelerates from rest at 1.0 m/s2 for 20.0 second along a straight road. It then moves at a constant speed for half an hou
Whitepunk [10]

Total distance = 36500 m

The average velocity = 19.73 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

vo=initial velocity=0(from rest)

a=acceleration= 1 m/s²

t₁ = 20 s

t₂ = 0.5 hr = 1800 s

t₃= 30 s

Required

Total distance

Solution

State 1 : acceleration

\tt d=vo.t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 20^2\rightarrow vo=0\\\\d=200~m

\tt vt=vo+at\\\\vt=at\rightarrow vo=0\\\\vt=1\times 20\\\\vt=20~m/s

State 2 : constant speed

\tt d=v\times t\\\\d=20\times 1800\\\\d=36000~m

State 3 : deceleration

\tt vt=vo+at\rightarrow vt=0(stop)\\\\vo=-at\\\\20=-a.30~s\\\\a=-\dfrac{2}{3}m/s^2(negative=deceleration)

\tt d=vot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=20.30-\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{2}{3}.30^2\\\\d=300~m

Total distance : state 1+ state 2+state 3

\tt 200 + 36000 + 300=36500~m

the average velocity = total distance : total time

\tt avg~velocity=\dfrac{36500}{20~s+1800~s+30~s}=19.73~m/s

A set of charged plates 0.00262 m apart has an electric field of 155 N/C between them. What is the potential difference between
mylen [45]

Answer: The potential difference between the plates = 0.4061V

Explanation:

Given that the

Electric field strength E = 155 N/C

Distance d = 0.00262 m

From the definition of electric field strength, is the ratio of potential difference V to the distance between the plates. That is

E = V/d

Substitute E and d into the above formula

155 = V/0.00262

Cross multiply

V = 155 × 0.00262

V = 0.4061 V

The potential difference between the plates is 0.4061 V

From the top of a tall building, a gun is fired. The bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 340 m/s, parallel to the ground. As the
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

Explanation:

It would have been easier with the drawing. This problem is a projectile launching exercise, as they give us data after the window passes and the wall collides, let's calculate with this data the speeds at the point of contact with the window.

X axis

           x = Vox t

           t = x / vox

           t = 7.1 / 340

           t = 2.09 10-2 s

In this same time the height of the window fell

           Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

Let's calculate the initial vertical speed, this speed is in the window

           Voy = (Y + ½ g t²) / t

           Voy = [0.6 + ½ 9.8 (2.09 10⁻²)²] /2.09 10⁻² = 0.579 / 0.0209

            Voy = 27.7 m / s

We already have the speed at the point of contact with the window. Now let's calculate the distance (D) and height (H) to the launch point, for this we calculate the time it takes to get from the launch point to the window; at this point the vertical speed is Vy2 = 27.7 m / s

             Vy = Voy - gt₂

             Vy = 0 -g t₂

             t₂ = Vy / g

             t₂ = 27.7 / 9.8

             t₂ = 2.83 s

This is the time it also takes to travel the horizontal and vertical distance

            X = Vox t₂

            D = 340 2.83

            D = 962.2 m

           

            Y = Voy₂– ½ g t₂²

            Y = 0 - ½ g t2

            H = Y = - ½ 9.8 2.83 2

            H = 39.2 m

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m
