A 7.6 kg watermelon is placed at one end of a 5.9 m, 245 N scaffolding supported by two cables. One supporting cable is at the o

pposite end of the scaffolding, and the other is 0.63 m from the watermelon. How much tension is in the cable at the end of the scaffolding? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 .

Answer:

98.952≅ 99 N

Explanation:

Since you don't know the tension in the cable 0.63 m from the watermelon, use this as your axis.

Clockwise moments:

(245)(2.32)

This is the weight of the scaffolding, acting in the middle of the board.Since we took the cable as the axis, instead of 3.25 m as the distance, it's 2.15 m, the distance from the cable to the middle of the board.  

Counterclockwise moments:

(T)(5.27) + (7.6)(9.8)(0.63)

The other cable and the weight of the watermelon.  

These need to be equal to each other.  

(T)(5.27) + (7.6)(9.8)(0.63) =  (245)(2.32)

Solving for T, and you should get 98.952≅ 99 N

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

The hammer throw was one of the earliest Olympic events. In this event, a heavy ball attached to a chain is swung several times
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Given that

T= 0.43 s

Radius of the ball path's , r=2.1 m

a)

We know that

f= 1/T

Here f= frequency

      T= Time period

Now by putting the values

f= 1/T

T= 0.43 s

f= 1/0.43

f=2.32 Hz

b)

We know that

V= ω r

ω = 2 π f

ω=Angular speed

V= Linear speed

ω = 2 π f=ω = 2 x π x 2.32 =14.60 rad/s

V= ω r= 14.60 x 2.1 = 30.66 m/s

c)

Acceleration ,a

a =ω ² r

a= 14.6 ² x 2.1 = 447.63 m/s²

We know that g = 10 m/s²

So

a= a/g= 447.63/10 = 44.7 g m/s²

a= 44.7 g m/s²

If the rocket has an initial mass of 6300 kg and ejects gas at a relative velocity of magnitude 2000 m/s , how much gas must it
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The amount of gas that is to be released in the first second in other to attain an acceleration of  27.0 m/s2  is

      \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}   = 83.92 \ Kg/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the rocket is m = 6300 kg

   The velocity at gas is being ejected is  u =  2000 m/s

    The initial acceleration desired is a =  27.0 \  m/s

   The time taken for  the gas to be ejected is  t = 1 s

Generally this desired acceleration is mathematically represented as

        a = \frac{u *  \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} }{M -\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}* t}

Here \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta  t }  is the rate at which gas is being ejected with respect to time

Substituting values

      27 = \frac{2000 *  \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} }{6300 -\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}* 1}

=>   170100 -27* \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 2000 *  \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}

=>   170100  = 2027 *  \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}

=>   \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}   = \frac{170100}{2027}

=>   \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}   = 83.92 \ Kg/s
