Answer:
a) T = 608.22 N
b) T = 608.22 N
c) T = 682.62 N
d) T = 533.82 N
Explanation:
Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg
Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²
Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.
So;
To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;
T = mg
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s²
the tension in the string is T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)
T = ma + mg
= m (a + g )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)
= 682.62 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)
T = mg - ma
= m (g - a )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)
= 533.82 N
Answer:
1.08 s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Height (h) reached = 1.45 m
Time of flight (T) =?
Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:
Height (h) = 1.45 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
1.45 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 1.45/4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(1.45/4.9)
t = 0.54 s
Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).
Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:
Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s
Time of flight (T) =?
T = 2t
T = 2 × 0.54
T = 1.08 s
Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.
The correct answer is the Mesosphere. <span>Mesosphere </span><span>is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the stratopause and directly below the mesopause.</span>
