A black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.2

7 g, what is the tension in the web
Physics

Answer:

Tension = 0.012 N

Explanation:

If the black widow spider is hanging vertically motionless from the ceiling above. Then, the weight of the spider must be balancing the tension in the spider web. Therefore,

Tension = Weight

Tension = mg

where,

m = mass of spider = 1.27 g = 0.00127 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Tension = (0.00127 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Tension = 0.012 N</u>

An airplane is trying to fly at a speed of 300 miles per hour straight North, but a 70 miles per hour wind is blowing toward the
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

                          V = 308.06 miles/hour

                          θ = 13.13°  west of north.

Explanation:

Airplane speed = V₁ = 300 miles/hour    

Wind speed = V₂ = 70 miles/hour

Resultant speed of the plane = V = ?

As airplane is trying to fly straight North and wind is blowing toward the west. So the angle between airplane velocity and wind velocity is 90°.

By Pythagoras Theorem

                            V =\sqrt{V_{1}^{2}+V_{2}^{2}    }

                            V = \sqrt{300^{2}+70^{2}  }

                            V = 308.06 miles/hour

                            θ = tan⁻¹(70/300)

                            θ = 13.13°  west of north.

The graph shows the accumulation of stable atoms during the decay of a radioactive substance. Why does the graph approach the ho
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The decay process started with 100 radioactive atoms.Eventually all 100 atoms will decay to a stable form. The graph approaches 100 because that is the maximum number of stable atoms that can form

Why does toilet seats stay cold even when the room temperature is warm?​
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

lol While plastic and wood aren't great thermal conductors, they conduct heat faster than air does. Even if the toilet seat is at the same temperature as the air around it, it will feel colder to your but t because heat will move from your skin to the seat at a faster pace Air just doesn't conduct heat very quickly.

A coin was flipped in the air and reached a maximum height of 1.5 meters. What was the initial velocity? How long was the coin i
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Vi = 5.42 [m/s]

t = 0.55 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} -(2*g*y)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (At maximum elevation the coin doesn't move)

Vi = initial velocity [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

y = elevation = 1.5 [m]

Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the direction of the gravity acceleration is acting against the movement of the coin when it is going up.

0 = (Vi)² - (2*9.81*1.5)

29.43 = (Vi)²

Vi = 5.42 [m/s]

The time we can find it using the next equation also from kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{i} -g*t\\

0 = 5.42 - 9.81*t

t = 5.42/9.81

t = 0.55 [s]

Suppose that a lion moves due EAST as to travel 25km in 4.2 hours. What is the average speed, and what is the average velocity.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

5.95 km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance moved, d = 25 km

Time taken by the lion, t = 4.2 hours

Average speed = distance/time

And

Average velocity = displacement/time

Here, distance = displacement

So,

v=s=\dfrac{25\ km}{4.2\ h}\\\\v=5.95\ km/h

So, the average speed and the average speed of the lion is equal to 5.95 km/h.
