When a 191 N bag of nails hangs motionlessfrom a single vertical strand of rope, how
much tension is exerted in the strand?
Answer in units of N.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
At the place where the rope meets the bag, the upward force
of the rope must be exactly the same as the downward force of
the load of nails. If the net force at that point were not zero, then
that point would be accelerating either upward or downward.  So
the upward force of the rope at that point is 191 N.

I can't tell you about the tension higher up in the rope.  If the rope
itself has any mass, then points higher up must support not only
the bag of nails but also the weight of the section of rope that is
below the point.

If the rope has no mass, then the tension is 191 N everywhere along it.

on a boundary with corn oil. What is the angle of refraction, to the nearest degree, for this
light ray in the corn oil?

Answers

The angle of refraction of light ray in the corn oil is 20°.

What is angle of Refraction?

Angle of refraction is the angle the refracted light ray makes with the normal to the oil-air interface.

Given data:

Angle of incidence = 30°

Analysis:

The refractive index of oil is 1.47.

Using the formula for refractive index(n) = (sini)/(sinr)

1.47 = (sin 30)/(sin r)

1.47(sin r) = sin 30

sin r = (sin 30)/(1.47)

sin r = 0.3401

r = arc sin(0.3401)

r = 19.88° which is approximately 20°

Billy drops a water ballon from the roof of his house. Since the balloon began with an original velocity of zero, how far above the ground was the balloon dropped if it took 2.5 seconds to hit the ground?

Answers

The distance between the roof and the ground where the balloon water was dropped is 30.65 meters. This is computed using the free fall formula which state that the height or distance is equal to the time it takes object to hit the ground times the constant gravity. In this case, 2.5 seconds times 9.807 meter per square second will then give us the 30.65 meter.

the answer is 30.6 good luck!

If a car goes five times as fast how much more kinetic energy will it have?

Answers


For that answer, we should take a second to look at the formula for kinetic energy:

                Kinetic Energy of an object = (mass) x (speed)² .

The important thing to notice is that the KE is proportional to the square of
the speed. So if you multiply the speed by some number, the KE changes
by the square of that number.

Multiplying the speed of the car by 5 gives it (5)² = 25 times as much KE.


the care will have 25 times as much kinetic energy as before
