Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F

Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with

Explanation:

Force downwards F is,

F = FA - T

T is the upwards tension force on the rope

FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.

Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)

For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)

Therefore, ma = T - mg

T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)

Equating equ. 1 and 2

T = FA - F = ma + mg

Therefore FA = ma + mg + F

But at constant velocity a = 0

Magnitude of applied force becomes

FA = mg + F

An object with a mass of 5kg accelerates at 2m/s2. How much force in Newtons(N) is needed to cause this to happen??
Reptile [31]

Answer: The formula of Newtons second law of motion is F=MA so therefore it would be written like this Force = Mass X Acceleration

F = 5 x 2

F = 10 N

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

88.8 m/s= Speed of wave propagation in the required mode.(3 loops)

Explanation:

When there are 3 loops.  

the total length = L = 3 λ /2

⇒ λ  = 2 L / 3 = 2 ( 1.11 ) / 3 = 0.74 m

Velocity = v = f λ = (120)(0.74) = 88.8 m/s

The membrane of a living cell can be approximated by a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 4.50×10−9 m2 , a plate separ
Marizza181 [45]

The energy stored in the membrane is 6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the membrane in this problem, we have

k = 4.6

A=4.50\cdot 10^{-9} m^2

d=8.1\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting, we find its capacitance:

C=\frac{(4.6)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(4.50\cdot 10^{-9})}{8.1\cdot 10^{-9}}=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F

Now we can find the energy stored: for a capacitor, it is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F is the capacitance

V=7.55\cdot 10^{-2} V is the potential difference

Substituting,

U=\frac{1}{2}(2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F)(7.55\cdot 10^{-2})^2=6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J
