The 80.0-lb boy at a is suspended from the cable that passes over the quarter circular cliff rock. determine if it is possible f

or the 190-lb woman to hoist him up. the coefficient of static friction between the cable and the rock is μs = 0.2, and between the shoes of the woman and the ground μ′s= 0.8.

<span>Yes, it's possible to hoist the child up. Let's first determine the maximum amount of pull that the woman can exert. That will be the simple product of her weight and the coefficient of static friction with her shoes and the ground. So 0.8 * 190 = 152. So far, so good, since 152 is greater than the boy's 80 lbs. But the cable rubs at the cliff edge and that means that the lady has to pull harder. Let's see how much harder. There will be 80 lbs of tension on the cable, pressing against the cliff edge. So let's multiply by the coefficient of friction to get how much that is 0.2 * 80 = 16 So friction will take 16 lbs of effort to overcome. So the lady needs to pull with 80 + 16 = 96 lbs of force to move the boy. And since we've determined earlier that she can pull with up to 152 lbs of force, she can easily hoist the child up.</span>

A ball is thrown at 20 m/s from the ground upwards at an angle of elevation of 30°. How far away does it land? 35.35 m
mestny [16]

Answer:

35.35 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Angle of projection (θ) = 30°

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Range (R) =.?

The range (i.e how far away) of the ball can be obtained as follow:

R = u² Sine 2θ /g

R = 20² Sine (2×30) / 9.8

R = 400 Sine 60 / 9.8

R = (400 × 0866) / 9.8

R = 346.4 / 9.8

R = 35.35 m

Therefore, the range (i.e how far away) of the ball is 35.35 m

A watering can is most likely measured in which metric unit
Iteru [2.4K]
A watering can is used to hold a water that we will use to water the plants. The water has both mass and volume. Two watering cans are most often different by the volume they contain. 

Many various units for volume are used but most often used unit is liter. In a metric system basic units are those such as meter, kilogram and liter while in imperial system units used are those such as foote, inch, pound and gallon.

Unit for volume in metric system is cubic meter. It is equal to a volume of a cube whose all sides measure 1m. This is equal to 1000L. For watering cans that contain several liters units used is decimeter cubed. 1dm^3 = 1L

Object a travels in the +x-direction before hitting a stationary object
Leto [7]
The object’s resultant angle of motion with the +x-axis after the collision is 47°

<span>From object A:
 
1) x-momentum is 5.7 × 10^4 kilogram meters/second,
2) y-momentum is 6.2 × 10^4 kilogram meters/second.
 
Now, we know, tan</span>Ф = \frac{y}{x}

⇒tanФ = \frac{6.2 × 10^4 }{5.7 × 10^4}

⇒tanФ = 1.088

⇒ Ф = tan^{-1} 1.088 
         =  47.4 ≈ 47
