Answer:

2.52 m/s

Explanation:

When the man takes a step, his foot is stationary while his body revolves around it. At the point when his body is directly above his foot, there will be no normal force at his maximum speed.

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 0.650 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 0.650 m)

v = 2.52 m/s

Coal and oil.... Fossil fuel is formed from decaying plants/animals who were buried and eventually converted to crude oil, gas by the exposure to heat and the pressure of the earths crust. This takes about 1 million years to happen.

Answer:

hmax=81ft

Explanation:

Maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory.

The vertical velocity is equal to 0 (Vy = 0)

$0=V_{y}-g*t=v_{0}*sin(\alpha)-g*th\\$

we isolate th (needed to reach the maximum height hmax)

$th = \frac{v_{0}*sin(\alpha)}{g}$

The formula describing vertical distance is:

$y = Vy * t-g* t^{2} / 2$

So, given y = hmax and t = th, we can join those two equations together:

$hmax = Vy* th-g*th^{2}/2$

$hmax =Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha )^{2}/(2*g)$

if we launch a projectile from some initial height h all you need to do is add this initial elevation

$hmax =h+Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha)^{2}/(2*g)$

$hmax =3+100^{2}*sin(45)^{2}/(2 * 32)=81 ft$

It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigera

vaieri [72.5K]

Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
