The mass is rising with a constant speed.

=> So it has no vertical acceleration.

=> So there is no net vertical force acting on it.

=> So the sum of the vertical forces on it is zero.

There are two vertical forces acting on the mass.

=> the force of gravity, pulling it down

=> the tension in the cable, pulling it up.

The force of gravity acting on the mass (its weight) is (mass) x (gravity).

=> That's (120 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) downward.

=> That's 1,176 newtons downward.

If the vertical forces add up to zero, the other force ... the tension in the cable ... must be the same magnitude in the opposite direction.

=> The force of tension in the cable is <em>1,176 newtons upward</em>.

Red laser light from a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm) creates a second-order fringe at 53.2° after passing through the grating. What

Svetlanka [38]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red laser light, $\lambda=632.8\ nm=632.8\times 10^{-9}\ m$

The second order fringe is formed at an angle of, $\theta=53.2^{\circ}$

For diffraction grating,

$d\ sin\theta=n\lambda$

$d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{sin\theta}$ , n = 2

$d=\dfrac{2\times 632.8\times 10^{-9}}{sin(53.2)}$

$d=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The wavelength λ of light that creates a first-order fringe at 22 is given by :

$\lambda=d\ sin\theta$

$\lambda=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ sin(22)$

$\lambda=5.91\times 10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=591\ nm$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which change of state is shown in the model?

leva [86]

Answer: deposition

Explanation:

Try process of elimination. We know it's not boiling because that is basically water turning into gas. It's not condensation because it's not water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

A supersonic jet is at an altitude of 14 kilometers flying at 1,500 kilometers per hour toward the east. At this velocity, how f

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The jet will fly 2400 km.

Explanation:

Given the velocity of the jet flying toward the east is 1,500 kmph toward the east.

We need to find the distance covered in 1.6 hours.

In our problem we are given speed and time, we can easily determine the distance using the following formula.

$Distance=Speed\times Time$

$Distance=1500\times 1.6=2400\ km$

So, the supersonic jet will travel 2400 km in 1.6 hours toward the east from its starting point.

What is the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference?

sladkih [1.3K]

The amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

<h3>What is the capacitance?</h3>

The capacitance has to do with the amount of charge that is stored by a capacitor. We know that a capacitor is a device that can be used to store electric charges. We have in it, two capacitors separated by a dielectric material.

Hence, the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.
