Burl the painter weighs 600 Newtons. He stands in the exact middle of his stage. There are two scale readings attached to the tw

o cords holding up the stage.
The image shows a painter standing in the middle of a scaffold that is hanging with two ropes on each end. Each rope has a spring scale.

What is the weight measured by each scale?

200 N
300 N
600 N
1200 N

Answer:

T = 300 N

Explanation:

As we know that the painter is standing at the middle of the scaffold

So here the two ropes will exert same tension on the scaffold

So we will have

$T_1 + T_2 = W$

also we know

$T_1 = T_2$

so we will have

$2T = W$

$T = \frac{W}{2}$

so tension is half of the weight in both the strings

So it is

T = 300 N

Substance X is placed in a container with substance Y. Both substances are fluids. Substance X initially sinks to the bottom of

Brut [27]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is a process in which heat transfers from a hotter substance to a colder substance.

As a result, the substance which is less dense will rise and the more denser substance will sink due to the influence of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation substance X will rise due to convection.

A lightning bolt transfers 6.0 coulombs of charge from a cloud to the ground in 2.0 x 10-3 second. what is the average current d

AlladinOne [14]

The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and $\Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s$ , so the average current during the event is
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A$

In order to get a tree stump out of the ground, chains are connected to two trucks. One truck pulls with a force of 600 N to the

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The net force on the stump is 1000 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force 1 acting on the truck, $F_1=600\ N$ (due north)

Force 2 acting on the truck, $F_2=800\ N$ (due west)

We need to find the net force on the stump. We know that force is a vector quantity. The net force on the stump is given by the the resultant force. It is given by :

$F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}$

$F=\sqrt{600^2+800^2}$

F = 1000 N

So, the net force on the stump is 1000 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 2.5-L tank initially is empty, and we want to fill it with 10 g of ammonia. The ammonia comes from a line with saturated vapor

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

592.92 x 10³ Pa

Explanation:

Mole of ammonia required = 10 g / 17 =0 .588 moles

We shall have to find pressure of .588 moles of ammonia at 30 degree having volume of 2.5 x 10⁻³ m³. We can calculate it as follows .

From the relation

PV = nRT

P x 2.5 x 10⁻³ = .588 x 8.32 x ( 273 + 30 )

P = 592.92 x 10³ Pa

A 40-mH ideal inductor is connected in series with a 50 Ω resistor through an ideal 15-V DC power supply and an open switch. If

sergey [27]

Answer:i=300 mA

Explanation:

Given

inductance(L)=40 mH

Resistor(R)= $50 \Omega$

Voltage(V)=15 V

Time constant( $\tau$ )= $\frac{L}{R}$

$\tau =\frac{40\times 10^{-3}}{50}=8\times 10^{-4}$

current $i_0=\frac{V}{R}$

$i_0=\frac{15}{50}=0.3 A$

Current as a function of time is given by

$i=i_0\left ( 1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}\right )$

$i=0.3\times 0.9998$

i= 299.95 mA
