Answer: HOPE THIS HELPED！：D

Oil and gas development, including fracking, near streams and rivers can have a number of impacts. These include pollution of surface and groundwater, sedimentation of streams from construction of roads and well pads, dewatering of streams, and displacement of wildlife.

A 60 kg person sits in a chair. How much does the earth pull on the person? (Acceleration due to gravity is -10m/s2) F = mxa → F

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

600N(downwards)

Explanations

600N(downwards)

Mas of the person = 60kg

Acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s²

To get the earths pull on the person, we will use the Newton second law of motion;

Force = mass * acceleration;

Force = 60 * -10

Force- -600N

Hence the earth gravitational pull on the person is 600N(downwards). It is downwards due to the negative sign.

A cylindrical rod 21.5 cm long with a mass of 1.20 kg and a radius of 1.50 cm has a ball of diameter of 6.90 cm and a mass of 2.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer

given,

length of rod = 21.5 cm = 0.215 m

mass of rod (m) = 1.2 Kg

radius, r = 1.50

mass of ball, M = 2 Kg

radius of ball, r = 6.90/2 = 3.45 cm = 0.0345 m

considering the rod is thin

$I = \dfrac{1}{3}M_{rod}L^2 + [\dfrac{2}{5}M_{ball}R^2+M_{ball}(R+L)^2]$

$I = \dfrac{1}{3}\times 1.2 \times 0.215^2 + [\dfrac{2}{5}\times 2 \times 0.0345^2+2\times (0.0345 +0.215)^2]$

I = 0.144 kg.m²

rotational kinetic energy of the rod is equal to

$KE = M_{rod}g\dfrac{L}{2} + M_{ball}g(L+R)^2$

$KE = 1.2 \times 9.8 \times \dfrac{0.215}{2} + 2\times 9.8\times (0.215+0.0345)^2$

KE = 6.15 J

b) using conservation of energy

$K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i + \Delta E$

$\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2+ 0=0 + 6.15+0$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.144 \times \omega^2= 6.15$

ω = 9.25 rad/s

c) linear speed of the ball

v = r ω

v = (L+R )ω

v = (0.215+0.0345) x 9.25

v =2.31 m/s

d) using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 g h

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 0.248

v = √4.86

v =2.20 m/s

speed attained by the swing is more than free fall

% greater = $\dfrac{2.31-2.20}{2.20}\times 100$

= 5 %

speed of swing is 5 % more than free fall

The critical angle for a light ray travelling from a ruby into ethyl alcohol is 50.6 degrees celsius. Determine the index of ref

stepan [7]

In order to answer this question, I realized that I needed to know the index
of refraction for ruby, so I went and looked it up. It's 1.762 to 1.770 .

I started trying to remember how to use this number and the critical angle
to find the index of refraction of the other medium. That's when I saw the
absurd unit "degrees celsius" for the critical angle, and I got discouraged.
But I perked up very quickly, when I realized that I'm still on the "index of
refraction" list, and while I'm there, I might as well just go ahead and
look up ethyl alcohol too.

It's 1.36 .

If the radius of an object in circular motion is doubled, what change will occur in the centripetal force?

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The centripetal force will be 1/2 as big as it was. (option c)

Explanation:

Recall that centripetal force ( $F_c$ ) is defined as: $F_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{r}$ where "v" is the tangential velocity of the object in circular motion, "r" is the radius of rotation and "m" is the object's mass.

So if we start with such formula with a given mass, radius, and tangential velocity, and then we move to a situation where everything stays the same except for the radius which doubles, then the new centripetal force ( $F'_c$ ) will be given by: $F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{2r}$

and this is half (1/2) of the original force:

$F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{2r}\\F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{r}*\frac{1}{2} \\F'_c=F_c\,*\,\frac{1}{2}$

which is expressed by option "c" of the provided list.
