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>.

Johannes Kepler- he did it by observing the ‘Tycho Brahe’. His 3rd law was published 10 years later to his first two laws.

I stretch a rubber band and "plunk" it to make it vibrate in its fundamental frequency. I then stretch it to twice its length an

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1)

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency = wave velocity/2L

where;

L is the length of the stretched rubber

Wave velocity = $\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}$

Frequency (F₁) = $\frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}$

To obtain the new frequency with respect to the old frequency, we consider the conditions stated in the question.

Given:

L₂ =2L₁ = 2L

T₂ = 2T₁ = 2T

(M/L)₂ = 0.5(M/L)₁ = 0.5(M/L)

F₂ = $\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2T}{0.5(\frac{M}{L})}}}{4*L} = \frac{\sqrt{4(\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}})}{4*L} = \frac{2}{2} [\frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}] = F_1$

Therefore, the new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1).

Giving brainliest!! if you answer correctly :) (30pts)

Answer:

mass = 4kg

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x m x v²

where m = mass and v = velocity

So,

KE = 50

1/2 × m × 5² = 50

1/2 × m × 25 = 50

m = (50 x 2)/25

m = 100/25

m = 4 kg
