A 2 feet piece of wire is cut into two pieces and once a piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral t
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x ft be used to make square and 2-x ft be used to make equilateral triangle.

each side of square = x/4

area of square = ( x /4 )²

Each side of triangle

= (2-x) /3

Area of triangle = 1/2 (2-x)²/9 sin 60

= √3 / 36 x (2-x)²

Total area

A = ( x /4 )² +√3 / 36 (2-x)²

For maximum area

dA/dx = 0

1/16( 2x ) -√3 / 36 x2(2-x) = 0

x / 8 - √3(2-x)/ 18 = 0

x / 8 - √3/9 + √3/18 x = 0

x ( 1/8 + √3/18 ) = √3/9

x(.125 +.096 ) = .192

x = .868 ft

A helicopter lifts a 72 kg astronaut 15 m vertically from the ocean by means of a cable. The acceleration of the astronaut is g/
NemiM [27]

Answer:

a) F_H=776.952\ N

b) F_g=706.32\ N

c) v=5.4249\ m.s^{-1}

d) KE=1059.48\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the astronaut, m=72\ kg
  • vertical displacement of the astronaut, h=15\ m
  • acceleration of the astronaut while the lift, a=\frac{g}{10} =0.981\ m.s^{-2}

a)

<u>Now the force of lift by the helicopter:</u>

Here the lift force is the resultant of the force of gravity being overcome by the force of helicopter.

F_H-F_g=m.a

where:

  • F_H= force by the helicopter
  • F_g= force of gravity

F_H=72\times 0.981+72\times9.81

F_H=776.952\ N

b)

The gravitational force on the astronaut:

F_g=m.g

F_g=72\times 9.81

F_g=706.32\ N

d)

Since the astronaut has been picked from an ocean we assume her initial velocity to be zero, u=0\ m.s^{-1}

using equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.h

v^2=0^2+2\times 0.981\times 15

v=5.4249\ m.s^{-1}

c)

Hence the kinetic energy:

KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2

KE=0.5\times 72\times 5.4249^2

KE=1059.48\ J

You do 174 J of work while pulling your sister back on a swing, whose chain is 5.10 m long, until the swing makes an angle of 32
grigory [225]
Potential energy U = 174J = m*g*Δh

m mass
g = 9.81 m/s²
Δh = 5.1 - 5.1cos32° = 0.77

Solve for m.
