Answer:

a)

840 N

b)

10920 J

c)

- 10192 J

d)

4.3 m/s

Explanation:

a)

T = tension force in the cable in upward direction = ?

a = acceleration of the person in upward direction = 0.70 m/s²

m = mass of the person being lifted = 80 kg

Force equation for the motion of person in upward direction is given as

T - mg = ma

T = m (g + a)

T = (80) (9.8 + 0.70)

T = 840 N

b)

d = distance traveled in upward direction = 13 m

$W_{t}$ = Work done by tension force

Work done by tension force is given as

$W_{t}$ = T d

$W_{t}$ = (840) (13)

$W_{t}$ = 10920 J

c)

d = distance traveled in upward direction = 13 m

$W_{g}$ = Work done by person's weight

Work done by person's weight is given as

$W_{g}$ = - mg d

$W_{g}$ = - (80 x 9.8) (13)

$W_{g}$ = - 10192 J

d)

$F_{net}$ = Net force on the person = ma = 80 x 0.70 = 56 N

v₀ = initial speed of the person = 0 m/s

v = final speed

Using work-energy theorem

$F_{net}$ d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

(56) (13) = (0.5) (80) (v² - 0²)

v = 4.3 m/s

2. A can filled with sand has a mass of 0.65kg is swung overhead in a horizontal circle of radius 0.70m at a constant rate of 2.

Aliun [14]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

≈ 5 Kgm²/sec

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Angular momentum is given by the formula

L = Iω, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular speed.

I = mr², where m is the mass and r is the radius

= 0.65 × 0.7²

= 0.3185

Angular speed, ω = v/r

= (2 × 3.142 × r × 2.5) r

= 15.71

Therefore;

Angular momentum = Iω

= 0.3185 × 15.71

= 5.003635

<u>≈ 5 Kgm²/sec</u>

A plane flies horizontally at an altitude of 3 km and passes directly over a tracking telescope on the ground. when the angle of

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The solution is:tan(θ) = opp / adj tan(θ) = y/x xtan(θ) = y
Find x:
x = y/tan(θ)
So x = 3/tan(π/6)
Perform implicit differentiation to get the equation:
dx/dt * tan(θ) + x * sec²(θ) * dθ/dt = dy/dt
Since altitude remains the same, dy/dt = 0. Now...
dx/dt * tan(π/6) + 3/tan(π/6) * sec²(π/4) * -π/4 = 0
changing the equation, will give us:
dx/dt = [3/tan(π/6) * sec²(π/6) * π/4} / tan(π/6) ≈ 12.83 km/min

A moderate force will break an egg. However, an egg droppedon the road usually breaks while one dropped on the grass usuallydoes

Fed [463]

Answer:

C. the time interval for stopping is greater.

Explanation:

As the egg falls onto the grass, it takes a a greater amount of time for it to stop, and thus the force that is being applied to it is in increments; there is never enough force applied on the egg for it to break. That's why the egg doesn't break when it lands on the grass.

In contrast, when the egg is dropped on the road, <em>all of the force that is being applied by the road on the egg is in the tiny interval when the egg touches the road</em>, That force is large enough to break the egg because it is being applied in a tiny amount of time. That's why the egg dropped on the road breaks.

<em>So here is the rule of thumb: if you don't want to break your things but still want to drop them, drop them such that it takes some for them to stop—because force will applied to them gradually. </em>

In a thundercloud there may be an electric charge of 24 C near the top of the cloud and −24 C near the bottom of the cloud. If t

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Electric force, $F=1.29\times 10^6\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=24\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=-24\ C$

Distance between charges, d = 2 km

The electric force is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

k is the electrostatic constant

$F=8.98755\times 10^9\times \dfrac{(24)^2}{(2\times 10^3)^2}$

F = 1294207.2 N

or

$F=1.29\times 10^6\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.
