A helicopter flies over the arctic ice pack at a constant altitude, towing an airborne 130-kg laser sensor that measures the thi

ckness of the ice (see the drawing). The helicopter and the sensor both move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 2.57 m/s2. Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor.

Answer:T=1316.21 N

Explanation:

The tension has two components: Vertical and Horizontal. The

horizontal component is ma, the vertical component is mg. Using

Pythagoras theorem, we can find the tension as:

T=((ma)^2 (mg)^2)^(1/2)

So

T=((129*2.84)^2 (129*9.8)^2)^(1/2)

T=1316.21 N

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
slavikrds [6]

Answer: A.

As a diver rises, the pressure on their body decreases which allows the volume of the gas to decrease.

Explanation:

The problem is that a diver, experiences an increased pressure of water compresses nitrogen and more of it dissolves into the body. Just as there is a natural nitrogen saturation point at the surface, there are saturation points under water. Those depend on the depth, the type of body tissue involved, and also how long a diver is exposed to the extra pressure. The deeper a diver go, the more nitrogen the body absorbs.

The problem is getting rid of the nitrogen once you ascend again. As the pressure diminishes, nitrogen starts dissolving out of the tissues of the diver's body, a process called "off-gassing." That results in tiny nitrogen bubbles that then get carried to the lungs and breathed out. However, if there is too much nitrogen and/or it is released too quickly, small bubbles can combine to form larger bubbles, and those can do damage to the body, anything from minor discomforts all the way to major problems and even death.

How does the acceleration due to gravity relate to the mass of an object and the distance from Earth?
Irina18 [472]
The object's mass is irrelevant.
The acceleration due to Earth's gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the object's distance from the center of the Earth.

When you are sitting in a car that is turning around a circle, you feel your body is being thrown outward. However, your physics
Degger [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle. However, our body is not attached to the car, it is only kept in the car. Therefore, when an external force acts on the car, inertia acts on the body due to the sense that it will try to remain in the same state.

Although the car takes the turn, but due to the inertia, the body will try to move forward; but since the seat belts are on, it is enforced to move with the car in a circular motion
