A young work crew is trying to quickly finish some touch‑up painting to complete a job. Rather than setting up a secure work are

a, they decide to try a shortcut. Worker A will hold the far end of a 8.98 m work plank which weighs 115 N and is secured with a hinge on the opposite end. Worker B will stand on the plank 4.11 m from worker A. Worker B also brings up his paint can, mc=3.42 kg, which he places 0.295 m from where he is standing on the plank (between the two workers). Worker A unfortunately needs to supply 522 N of force to hold the end of the plank. How much does worker B weigh? The acceleration due to gravity is ????=9.81 m/s2.

Answer:

Wb = 820.929N      mb = 83.68 kg

Explanation:

The given values are:

Fa = 522N                              Da = 8.98m

Wp = 115N                               Dp = 8.98/2 = 4.49m

Wb = ?                                     Db = 8.98 - 4.11 = 4.87m

Wc = 3.42*9.81 = 33.55N       Dc = 8.98 - 4.11+0.295 = 5.165m

Net torque on the plank will be:

Wp*Dp + Wb*Db + Wc*Dc - Fa*Da = 0

Solving for Wb:

Wb=\frac{Fa*Da-Wp*Dp-Wc*Dc}{Db} =820.929N

The weight of worker B is 820.929N

Dividing by gravity we get the mass of worker B: 83.68kg

A bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and bounces up and down several times.
Stella [2.4K]

The energy that was lost due to air resistance while she was bouncing is determined as 3,360 J.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The amount of energy lost due to  air resistance while she was bouncing is determined from the principle of conservation of energy.

ΔE = P.E - Ux

ΔE = mgh - ¹/₂kx²

ΔE = (50)(9.8)(16) - ¹/₂(35)(16)²

ΔE = 3,360 J

Thus, the energy that was lost due to air resistance while she was bouncing is determined as 3,360 J.

An oak block had the following dimension, 2 cm by 2 cm and 5 cm in height. A copper block had the same dimensions. The copper bl
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

ρ_body = 1000 kg / m³

Explanation:

This is an exercise in fluid mechanics, specifically we must use the Archimedean principle, which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the dislodged liquid.

In this case let's start by finding the volume of our body

oak block

      v = l to h

       v = 0.02 0.02 0.05

       V = 2 10⁻⁵ m³

cooper block indicate that it has the same dimensions so its volume is the same, the total volume of the body is

        V_total = 4 10⁻⁵ m³

as they indicate that the body is fully submerged there is a balance between weight and thrust

          B - W = 0

the push is

          B = ρ_fluid g V_total

the body weight is

         ρ_body = M / V_total

          M = ρ_body V_total

         W = Mg

          W = ρ_body V_total g

we substitute

          ρ_fluid g V_total = ρ_body V_total g

        ρ_body = ρ_fluid

in this case the body is in equilibrium in the fluid, in case the density of the body is greater than that of the fluid, the body sinks

Therefore the average density is equal to the density of the fluid, since since it is water the density is

              ρ_body = 1000 kg / m³

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

His average speed.

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance travelled / total time .

In the given case odometer measures total distance travelled . Dividing it by time will give average speed .

Average velocity can not be the answer as it is measured by dividing displacement by time . Displacement here is zero because initial and final point are same . Instantaneous velocity is given by the speedometer . It keeps on changing all the time . It is actually speed at a particular point of time . It can not be average velocity or speed .

Which term best describes the process that occurs when light passes through a lens? A. reflection B. refraction C. resonance D.
Elza [17]
A. Refraction, meaning the same thing...it just passes through. Reflection is when light, heat, or sound bounces off a surface, kind of like an echo. Resonance is sound reverberating, or vibrating. And polarization is the action of not allowing the vibrations of a transverse wave. Hoped this helps you :) 

Short answer: Refraction
