A 48.0-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocit

y of -1.06 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 1.07 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer.

Answer:

F = 47.6 N

Explanation:

  • Newton's 2nd law can be expressed as the rate of change of the total momentum, respect of time, as follows:

       F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

  • So, in order to find the average force exerted by the skater on the wall, we can find the change in momentum due to the force exerted by the wall (which is equal and opposite to the one exerted by the skater), and  divide it by the time interval , as follows:

       F_{wall} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{(48.0 kg*(-1.06m/s)}{1.07s} = -47.6 N

       ⇒ Fsk = 47.6 N (normal to the wall)

Jake drags a sled of mass 18 kg across the snow. The sled is attached to a rope that he pulls with a force of 70 N at an angle o
Advocard [28]
If the 30 N on the rope were pulled straight up, it would offset the force of gravity ( m g = 10 kg * 9.8 N/kg = 98 N) , leaving a net force up from the ground on the sled of 98-30 = 68 N. Since the rope is pulled at the angle of 25o, only part of the force is in the upward direction, (30N)(sin(25) = (30)(.423) = 12.7. So the net force becomes 98 N down offset by 12.7 up or 98-12.7 = 85.3 N. Ah, there it is: C.

What effect does the removal of vegetation have on soil ?
Strike441 [17]
Hello!

The removal of vegetation causes the desertification and erosion of soil. The roots of the plants that are inside the soil create a sort of net that prevents the material to be dragged by the water from the rain. They also absorb any excess water that can weaken the soil structure. If vegetation is removed from the soil, the nutrients can be dragged by water currents and slowly the desertification will occur. 

Have a nice day!

Explain what the core muscles do and why it's important to have a strong set of core muscles.
Alika [10]

Answer:

Since your spine runs by your core, having a strong core will help protect and stabilize your spine, and you're also are able to control movements such as walking or standing better with a strong core.
