A gymnast of mass 70.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t

hat the rope does not stretch. Use the value 9.81m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity. Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope.

Answer:

T = 686.7N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law in this case there is no acceleration,

      ∑ F = ma

      T -W = 0

The gymnast's weight is

     W = mg

We clear and calculate the tension

     T = mg

     T = 70 9.81

     T = 686.7N

A major benefit of the daguerreotype process is that ________.
tigry1 [53]

Daguerreotype is defined as the first practical photographic process which was introduced in Paris on January 7, 1839. To make the image permanent, Daguerre used salt solution. The result of his introduced process is a finely defined image with surface which is delicate. The major benefit of daguerreotype is if the images are correctly preserved, the pictures could last forever. Aside from this, since it produces superior quality of outline, it is thus suitable for portraitures.

If Katie swims from one end of the pool, to the other side, and then swims back to her original spot, her average velocity is ha
Crank

Answer:

false.

Explanation:

Ok, we define average velocity as the sum of the initial and final velocity divided by two.

Remember that the velocity is a vector, so it has a direction.

Then when she goes from the 1st end to the other, the velocity is positive

When she goes back, the velocity is negative

if both cases the magnitude of the velocity, the speed, is the same, then the average velocity is:

AV = (V + (-V))/2  = 0

While the average speed is the quotient between the total distance traveled (twice the length of the pool) and the time it took to travel it.

So we already can see that the average velocity will not be equal to half of the average speed.

The statement is false

With your hand parallel to the floor and your palm upright, you lower a 3-kg book downward. If the force exerted on the book by
Stells [14]
For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the book is equal to the product between the mass of the book and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma (1)

There are only two forces acting on the book:
- its weight, directed downward: mg
- the force exerted by the hand on the book, of 20 N, directed upward

so, equation (1) becomes
mg - F = ma
from which we can calculate the book's acceleration, a:
a= g -  \frac{F}{m}= 9.81 m/s^2 - \frac{20 N}{3 kg}=3.14 m/s^2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

884Hz

Explanation:

Beats is the absolute difference between two frequencies therefore

Beats = f1-f2

4=f1-880

F1=880+4

F1=884Hz

the minute hand on a clock is 9 cm long and travels through an arc of 252 degrees every 42 minutes. To the nearest tenth of a ce
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The minutes hand travels 39.60 cm.

Explanation:

Note: a clock has a shape of a circle, the minutes hand is the radius, and the travel of the minutes hand forms a arc.

Length of an arc = ∅/360(2πr)

L = ∅/360(2πr).................... Equation 1π

Where L = length of an arc, ∅ = angle formed by an arc, r = radius of the arc.

Given:  ∅ = 252°, r = 9 cm, π = 3.143.

Substituting these values into equation 1,

L = 252/360(2×3.143×9)

L = 0.7×2×3.143×9

L = 39.60 cm.

Thus the minutes hand travels 39.60 cm.
