Answer: 0.0180701 s
Explanation:
Given the following :
Length of string (L) = 10 m
Weight of string (W) = 0.32 N
Weight attached to lower end = 1kN = 1×10^3
Using the relation:
Time (t) = √ (weight of string * Length) / weight attached to lower end * acceleration due to gravity
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2
Weight of string = 0.32N
Time(t) = √ (0.32 * 10) / [(1*10^3) * (9.8)]
Time = √3.2 / 9800
= √0.0003265
= 0.0180701s
Answer:
v = √ 2 G M/
Explanation:
To find the escape velocity we can use the concept of mechanical energy, where the initial point is the surface of the earth and the end point is at the maximum distance from the projectile to the Earth.
Initial
Em₀ = K + U₀
Final
= 
The kinetic energy is k = ½ m v²
The gravitational potential energy is U = - G m M / r
r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth
How energy is conserved
Em₀ = 
½ mv² - GmM /
= -GmM / r
v² = 2 G M (1 /
– 1 / r)
v = √ 2GM (1 /
– 1 / r)
The escape velocity is that necessary to take the rocket to an infinite distance (r = ∞), whereby 1 /∞ = 0
v = √ 2GM /
A device used to measure atmospheric pressure is a barometer.
Answer:
570 N
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram on the rider. There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.
The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.
Sum of the forces in the x direction:
∑F = ma
F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0
F = T cos 15° / cos 30°
Sum of the forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0
W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°
Substituting:
W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°
W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°
W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)
Given T = 1900 N:
W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)
W = 570 N
The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).
Answer a would be correct since velocity is a vector and has a magnitude and a direction. In this case v₁ = - v₂.
