Calculate the tension (in N) in a vertical strand of spiderweb if a spider of mass 5.00 ✕ 10-5 kg hangs motionless on it.

Physics
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
3 0

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

Why do the compass needles change direction when the electric current is Flowing
zhenek [66]

Explanation:

Since compasses work by pointing along magnetic field lines, this means that there must be a magnetic field near the wire through which the current is flowing.

I need help with a physics worksheet about Newtons Laws.
Viktor [21]

The diagram of the object on the inclined plane is shown below

The mass of 7kg is exerted on the plane surface. It is acted upon by gravity. The force exerted on the surface is calculated by applying the formula,

F = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Assumme acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2, then

Force = 7 x 9.8 = 68.6N

The surface exerts an opposite force of the same magnitude with the force of the object but in opposite direction. Since it is inclined at an angle of 36.9 degrees,

Normal force = mgCosθ = 68.6Cos36.9 = 54.86N

Recall, frictional force = normal reaction x coefficient of friction

Given that coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.35,

Frictional force = 54.86 x 0.35 = 19.201N

This is the force that must be overcome to keep the object moving.

The force pulling the object upwards along the inclined plane is

mgSinθ = 7 x 9.8 x Sin36.9 = 41.19N

Since the velocity is constant, it means that there is no acceleration. The net force is zero. The force required to pull the mass and make it move at constant velocity must be equal to the sum of the exerted force and the the frictional force(Since it involves coeffricient of kinetic friction, it would cause the object to keep moving)

Thus,

Required force = 19.2 + 41.19 = 60.4N

Option E is correct

a runner covers the last straight stretch of the race in 4 s. durning that time, he speeds up from 5 m/s to 9m/s what is the run
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The runner speeds up from vo=5 m/s to vf=9 m/s in t=4 seconds, thus:

\displaystyle a=\frac{9-5}{4}

\displaystyle a=\frac{4}{4}=1

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

Explanation:

Here Tech A is wrong because when diagnosing an overheating hydraulic system, it is not necessary to un plugg the oil cooler rather it should be plugged to for proper diagnosis.

Technician B says running the hydraulic system at a lower operating temperature will reduce the possibly of oil oxidation is correct statement because at temperature oil's physical as well as chemical property tend to change.

Hence, Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.
