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)

Imagine a negative test charge sitting at the coordinate origin (0,0). Two bunches of positive charges are located on the x-axis

Oxana [17]

Answer:

the total force vector, on test charge is points from origin to point C( 1, 1 )

Explanation:

Given the data in the question, as illustrated in the image below;

from the Image, OA = 1, OB = AC = 1

so using Pythagoras theorem

a² = b² + c²

a = √( b² + c² )

so

OC = √( OB² + AC² )

we substitute

OC = √( OA² + AC² )

OC = √( 1² + 1² )

OC = √( 1 + 1 )

OC = √2

Coordinate of C( 1, 1 )

Hence, the total force vector, on test charge is points from origin to point C( 1, 1 )

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 7.76 N$

Part b)

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

$x = -19 + t - 3t^3$

$y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2$

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

$a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$a_x = -18t$

$a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)$

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)$

$a_y = -18$

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

$\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j$

at t= 1.1 s we have

$\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j$

now the net force of the object is given as

$\vec F = m\vec a$

$\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)$

$\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j$

now magnitude of the force will be

$F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N$

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}$

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

$v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}$

$v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)$

now at t = 1.1 s

$\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j$

now the direction of the velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})$

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

What does the term Hubble time mean in cosmology, and what is the current best calculation for the Hubble time?

balu736 [363]

Hubble time in cosmology means the estimated age of the universe and the best calculation for it is T=1/H, where H is the Hubble constant

Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 8.2 m apart, and are each playing a 78.0 Hz to

Stels [109]

Answer:6.298,4.1,1.9015

Explanation:

Wavelength= $\frac{velocity of sound }{frequency}$

= $\frac{343}{78}$ =4.397 m

Distance of 3rd speaker from speaker A is x

From B 78-x

Difference between the distances must be a whole number of wavelengths

First

$x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=4.397$ for 1 st wavelength

2x=8.2+4.397=12.597

x=6.298m

second

For zero wavelength

$x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=0$

2x=8.2

x=4.1m

Third

$\left ( 8.2-x\right )-x=4.397$

x=1.9015 m
