Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2.
Answer:
Explanation:
A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium
T = mg
= 63 x 9.81
= 618.03 N
B )
When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.
T = mg
= 618.03 N
C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2
Net force on it = T - mg , acting in upward direction
T - mg = m a
T = mg + m a
= m ( g + a )
= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)
= 655.83 N
D ) If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2
Net force acting in downward direction
mg - T = ma
T = m ( g - a )
= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )
= 580.23 N
Complete question :
NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts the supply storage area of the lunar outpost where gravity is 1.63m/s/s can only support 1 x 10 over 5 N. What is the maximum WEIGHT of supplies, as measured on EARTH, NASA should plan on sending to the lunar outpost?
Answer:
601000 N
Explanation:
Given that :
Acceleration due to gravity at lunar outpost = 1.6m/s²
Supported Weight of supplies = 1 * 10^5 N
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth surface = 9.8m/s²
Maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH :
Ratio of earth gravity to lunar post gravity:
(Earth gravity / Lunar post gravity) ;
(9.8 / 1.63) = 6.01
Hence, maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH should be :
6.01 * (1 × 10^5)
6.01 × 10^5
= 601000 N
