If the man falls with his knees and ankles locked, the only cushion for his fall is a 0.480 cm give in the pads of his feet. Cal

Answer:

The average force exerted on the man by the ground therefore is 153.319.53 N

Explanation:

Given the following information

Mass of man, m = 75 kg

height of fall, h = 0.48 cm

velocity just before landing,  v = 4.43 m/s

We therefore have

The work required to break the fall is equal to the kinetic energy of motion, just before touching the ground

Work done = Energy to absorb Kinetic Energy KE = 0.5·m·v²= F·h

Where:

F = Force required to break the fall

Therefore the force, F = (0.5·m·v² )/h

= 0.5×75 kg ×(4.43 m/s)²/(0.0048 m) = 153319.53 N

The average force exerted on him by the ground is therefore

= 153319.53 N.

A block of ice at 0°C is added to a 150g aluminum calorimeter cup which holds 210 g of water at 12°C. If all but 2.0 g of ice me
Over [174]

Answer:

original mass of the block of ice is 38.34 gram

Explanation:

Given data

cup mass = 150 g

ice temperature = 0°C

water mass = 210 g

water temperature = 12°C

ice melt = 2 gram

to find out

solution

we know here

specific heat of aluminum is c = 0.900 joule/gram °C

Specific heat of water C =  4.186 joule/gram °C

so here temperature difference is dt =  12- 0 = 12°C

so here heat lost by water and cup are given by

heat lost  = cup mass × c  × dt + water  mass × C × dt

heat lost  = 150 × 0.900  × 12 + 210 × 4.186 × 12

heat lost  = 12168.72 J

so

mass of ice melt here = heat lost / latent heat of fusion

here we know latent heat of fusion = 334.88 joule/gram

so

mass of ice melt  =  12168.72 / 334.88

mass of ice melt  is 36.337554 gram

so mass of ice is here = mass of ice melt + ice melt

mass of ice  =  36.337554 + 2

mass of ice  =  38.337554 gram

so original mass of the block of ice is 38.34 gram

If you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, you will be 8850 m (about 5.50 mi) above sea level.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

9.773m/s2

Explanation:

Given,

h=8848m

The value of sea level is 9.08m/s2

So,

Let g′ be the acceleration due to the gravity on the Mount Everest.

g′=g(1−h2h)

=9.8(1−640000017696)

=9.8(1−0.00276)

9.8×0.99724

=9.773m/s2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on the top of Mount Everest is =9.773m/s2

Hope it helped!!!

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. A
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The mass of the solid cylinder is m  =  1612.5  \  kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius of the grinding wheel is R =  0.330 \ m

   The  tangential force is F_t =  250 \ N

    The angular acceleration is  \alpha  =  0.940 \ rad/s^2

The torque experienced by the wheel is mathematically represented as

     \tau  =  I  *  \alpha

Where  I  is the moment of inertia

The torque experienced by the wheel can also be  mathematically represented as

       \tau  =  F_t  * r

substituting values

       \tau  =  250 * 0.330

      \tau  = 82.5  \ N\cdot m

So

   82.5  =  I *  \alpha

    82.5  =  I *  0.940

So

   I  =  87.8 \ kg \cdot m^2

This moment of inertia can be mathematically evaluated as

     I  =  \frac{1}{2} * m* r^2

substituting values

  87.8  =  \frac{1}{2} * m* (0.330)^2

=>   m  =  1612.5  \  kg

Which produces more energy:
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) uranium

b) deuterium

Explanation:

For the first question, you can actually know this by simple logic. The nucleus of Ucranium, has more energy than a pair of deuterium. Ucranium has a mass number and atomic mass higher than deuterium, therefore, when you do a fission with ucranium in it's nucleous, this would be in energy higher than the deuterium.

However, in terms of mass only, the fissioning of 1 gram of Deuterium will produce more energy than 1 gram of uranium, basically because deuterium is lighter and has a lower molecular weight than ucranium. This means that because of this lower molecular weight, in 1 gram of deuterium will contain more number of atoms than in 1 g of uranium. The interaction with these atoms, will produce more energy than the energy produced by uranium.
