Answer:

4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the vertical strand of spiderweb  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg

Unknown:

Tension in the vertical strand  = ?

Solution:

The tension is the vertical strand will be the weight of the strand.

  Weight of strand  = mg

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg  x 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

If a 4.5 kg object is dropped from a height of 6.0 m, what will be its velocity when it is halfway toward the ground? (Use g = 9
dangina [55]
When an object falls or is dropped from rest it's initial velocity is zero.
Using the equations for a motion in straight line. I can find the time it takes to reach 3.0 m down (half way).
x = vt - 4.9t²
-3 = 0 - 4.9t²
-3/-4.9 = t²
0.6122 = t²
0.7825 sec = t

v = v - gt
v = 0 - 9.8(0.7825)
v = -7.67 m/s
the negative denotes downward direction.

You  could also solve the problem using potential and kinetic energy.

Since it starts with maximum PE and gets converted to KE when it hits the ground. mgh = mv²/2
mass cancels, use 3 meters for the halfway distance
-9.8(-3) = v²/2
29.4 * 2 = v²
√(58.8) = 7.67 m/s downwards

Answer: Create a hypothesis

Explanation:

From the information given, information has been gathered and the identification to ascertain if there's a change. Then, an hypothesis has to be created in order to know what the problem is.

One has to carry out some research in order to know what went wrong and should also validate the hypothesis by consulting with ones peers. By doing this, the most likely causes of the issues will be gotten.

What is the force on an object that goes from 35 m/s to 85 m/s in 20 seconds and has a mass of 148 kg
Sever21 [200]
F=ma
F = 148×(85-35)÷20
F = 148×(50÷20)
F = 148×2.5
F = 370N

Determine the average value of the translational kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at (a) 27.8°C and (b) 143°C. Wh
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}

b) k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}

c)  k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol

d)   k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol

Explanation:

Average translation kinetic energy (k_{avg}) is given as

k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times kT    ....................(1)

where,

k = Boltzmann's constant ; 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J/K

T = Temperature in kelvin

a) at T = 27.8° C

or

T = 27.8 + 273 = 300.8 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300.8  

k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}J

b) at T = 143° C

or

T = 143 + 273 = 416 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 416  

k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}J

c ) The translational kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is given as:

       k_{mol}=A_{v}\times k_{avg}

here   A_{v} = Avagadro's number; ( 6.02×10²³ )

now at T = 27.8° C

        k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 6.22\times 10^{-21}

          k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol

d) now at T = 143° C

        k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 8.61\times 10^{-21}

          k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol
