Answer:

86605.08 N

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the force is:

Force = mass * acceleration

The force and the acceleration does not have the same direction in this case, so we need to decompose the force into its horizontal component, which is the force that will generate the horizontal acceleration:

Force_x = Force * cos(30)

Then, we have that:

Force_x = mass * acceleration

Force * cos(30) = 25000 * 3

Force * 0.866 = 75000

Force = 75000 / 0.866 = 86605.08 N

In a US household, the voltage in an electric outlet (in volts) is given by the following equation, where t is in seconds. V = 1
Damm [24]

Answer:

a) The voltage in an european house is 2,17 times greater than in an american House. That is 183 volts more than in US.

b) the number of cycles or oscillations for an US House is 60 cycles per second

Explanation:

To answer this this question you have to know the wave equation:

x(t) = A Sin (a + b.t)

where

x(t) = is the position as a time function... In this exercise we could call V(t) instead of x(t) beacause we want to know voltage vs time.

A = is the amplitude of the wave. In this case the maximum voltage that can be reached.

a = is the offset in time or number of waves (zero in this exercise)

b =  constant that varies the frequency

then...

a) calculate the ratio between both amplitudes:

A_{Europe} / A_{US} = 339 / 156 = 2,17

b) frequency (Oscillations) is:

b = 2pi/T = 2pi*F    remember that: T = 1/F

where

F = frequency

T = Period

so for US household we have:

120pi =2pi*F

therefore

F = 120/2 = 60 Hertz

In a Broadway performance, an 83.0-kg actor swings from a R = 3.90-m-long cable that is horizontal when he starts. At the bottom
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

h = 2.821\,m

Explanation:

The speed of the actor before the collision is found by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

(83\,kg)\cdot(9.807\,\frac{m}{s})\cdot (3.90\,m) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (83\,kg)\cdot v^{2}

v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3.90\,m)}

v \approx 8.746\,\frac{m}{s}

The speed after the inelastic collision is obtained by using the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(83\,kg)\cdot (8.746\,\frac{m}{s} )+(55\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (83\,kg + 55\,kg)\cdot v

v = 5.260\,\frac{m}{s}

Lastly, the maximum height is determined by using the Principle of Energy Conservation again:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot (138\,kg)\cdot (5.260\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} = (138\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot h

h = \frac{(5.260\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

h = 2.821\,m

what is the light that appears when you touch something metal while you have alot of static electricity​
geniusboy [140]

When you touch a doorknob (or something else made of metal), which has a positive charge with few electrons, the extra electrons want to jump from you to the knob. That tiny shock you feel is a result of the quick movement of these electrons.

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s. how long does h
noname [10]
The shot putter should get out of the way before the ball returns to the launch position.

Assume that the launch height is the reference height of zero.
u = 11.0 m/s, upward launch velocity.
g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.

The time when the ball is at the reference position (of zero) is given by
ut - (1/2)gt² = 0
11t - 0.5*9.8t² = 0
t(11 - 4.9t) = 0
t = 0 or t = 4.9/11 =  0.45 s

t = 0 corresponds to when the ball is launched.
t = 0.45 corresponds to when the ball returns to the launch position.

Answer: 0.45 s
