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>.

1. A 930-kg car traveling 56 km/h comes to a complete stop in 2.0 s. What is the
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The force exerted on the car during this stop is 6975N

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 930kg

Speed, s = 56km/hr = 56 X 5/18 m/s = 15m/s

Time, t = 2s

Force, F = ?

F = m X a

F = m X s/t

F = 930 X 15/2

F = 6975N

Therefore, the force exerted on the car during this stop is 6975N

A mechanic jacks up the front of a car to an angle of 8.0° with the horizontal in order to change the front tires. the car is 3.
SOVA2 [1]
<span>First draw a free-body diagram. Torque T = Force F x Distance d where force is the component of gravitational force g and d is the lever arm distance to the pivot point. Since the pivot point is at the back tire we subtract that from the length of the car resulting in d = 1.12 - 0.40 = 0.72 meters = d. We are interested in the perpendicular component of the force exerted on the car jack so use sin 8 degrees then T=1130 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 x sin(8 degrees) x0.72 m = 1,110.80 Newton-meters</span>

What is the frequency and wavelength, in nanometers, of photons capable of just ionizing nitrogen atoms?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The frecuency and wavelength of a photon capable to ionize the nitrogen atom are ν = 3.394×10¹⁵ s⁻¹  and λ = 88.31 nm.

Explanation:It is possible to know what are the frequency and wavelength of a photon capable to ionize the nitrogen atom using the equation of the energy of a photon described below.

E = hc/λ  (1)

Where h is the Planck constant, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength of the photon.

But first, it is neccesary to know the ionization energy of the nitrogen atom. The ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom, for the Nitrogen atom it will lose an electron of its outer orbit from the nucleus, farther snuff, so the electric force is weaker. Experimentally, it is known that it has a value of 14.04 eV. This value is easy to found in a periodic table.

So the nitrogen atom will need a photon with the energy of 14.04 eV to remove the electron from its outer orbit.

Replacing the Planck constant, the speed of light and the energy of the photon in the equation 1, the wavelength can be calculated:

λ = hc/E  (2)

Where h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J.s and c = 3.00×10⁸ m/s

But the Planck constant can be expressed in electron volts:

1 eV = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = 6.626x10⁻³⁴ J/1.602x10⁻¹⁹ J . eV .s

h= 4.136x10⁻¹⁵ eV.s

Now, it is convenient to express the speed of light in nanometers:

1nm = 1x10⁻⁹ m

c = 3.00x10⁸ m/ 1x10⁻⁹ m

c = 3x10¹⁷ nm/s

Substituting in equation 2:

λ =  (4.136x10⁻¹⁵ eV.s)(3x10¹⁷ nm/s)/14.04 eV

λ = 1240 eV. nm/ 14.04 eV

λ = 88.31 nm

The frenquency is calculated using the equation 2 in the following way:

E = hν  (3)

Where ν is the frecuency

ν = E/h

ν = 14.04 eV/4.136×10⁻¹⁵ eV.s

ν = 3.394×10¹⁵ s-1

So the frecuency of a photon, capable to ionize the nitrogen atom, will be 3.394×10¹⁵ s⁻¹ and its wavelength 88.31 nm.
