A bicycle pedal is pushed straight downwards by a foot with a 33 Newton force. The shaft of the pedal is 20 cm long. If the shaf
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The magnitud of the torque doing by the foot at the point where the shaft is attached is 0.063 Nm

Explanation:

The torque is obtained by multiplying the longitude from the shaft attached point to force acting point by the force perpendicular component:

T = d * Fp

Notice that the perpindicular component is the total force magnitud times the sino of the angle respect the horizontal:

Fp = F*sin(a)

Replacing the values for the force and the angle:

Fp = 33N*sin(π/5)  = 33N * 0.011 = 0.363 N

Taking the distance in meters:

T = 0.2m * 0.363 N = 0.063 Nm

A bumblebee buzzes past you at 3 m/s. The frequency of the hum made by its wings is 152 Hz. Assume the speed of sound to be 342
dsp73
As the bumblebee approaches me, the frequency of sound becomes higher than the 152 Hz because of the velocity with which the bee approaches at 3 m/s.

The speed of the bee causes me to detect an increase of frequency higher than 152 Hz.

This phenomenon is called Doppler Effect.

The worker’s pull on the handle of the cart can best be described as a force having
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

both magnitude and direction

Explanation:

The worker's pull on the handle of the cart is best described as the force having both magnitude and direction.

  • This is a vector quantity
  • The force is channeled to move the cart in a specific direction.
  • Also, the pull on the cart can be quantified, and so it have magnitude.
  • Most physical properties either have magnitude or direction or both.

In this case, the worker is pulling the cart towards a specified direction.

Therefore, the fitting choice is both magnitude and direction.

You wish to lift a 12,000 lb stone by a vertical distance of 15 ft. Unfortunately, you can only generate a maximum pushing force
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²

Explanation:

Work done, W = mgy where m = mass of stone = 12,000 lb, g = 32 ft/s² and y = vertical distance = 15 ft.

So, W = mgy = 12,000 lb × 32 ft/s² × 15 ft. = 5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²
