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)

If the sound level at a point is 98.0 dB, what is the intensity of sound at that point (Unit=W/m^2)? please help will give brain
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale where each bel or 10 decibels correspondents to a factor of ten. A power intensity of 10^(-12) watts per square meter is the standard reference for a SPL of 0 db. So an SPL of 98 db corresponds to a power intensity of 10^(9.8)*10^(-12) or 10^(9.8–12) w/m^2.

0.006309573 w/m^2.

You can also readily find the value for any given SPL using the online calculator at: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-soundlevel.htm

All three windows are the same size.

A has 10 complete waves visible through the window. B has 3, and C has 4.

So A must have the smallest wavelengths.

The force between two charged bodies is called ______________.
stepladder [879]

The Coulomb force between two or more charged bodies is the force between them due to Coulomb's law. If the particles are both positively or negatively charged, the force is repulsive; if they are of opposite charge, it is attractive. ... Like the gravitational force, the Coulomb force is an inverse square law.
