A ledge on a building is 20 m above the ground. A taut rope attached to a 4.0 kg can of paint sitting on the ledge passes up ove

r a pulley and straight down to a 3.0 kg can of nails on the ground. If the can of paint is accidently knocked off the ledge, what time interval does a carpenter have to catch the can before it smashes on the floor?

Answer:

 t = 5.4 s

Explanation:

from the question we are given :

height (s) = 20 m

mass of paint (Mp) = 4 kg

mass of nails (Mn) = 3 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

  • The net force accelerating the can of paint should be equal to the difference in weight of the can of paint and the can of nails.

            weight of nails = mass of nails x g = 3 x 9.8 = 29.4 N

            weight of paint = mass nails x g = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 N

             net force = 39.2 - 29.4 = 9.8 N

  • net force = total mass x acceleration

             9.8 = (3 +4) x a

              a = 1.4 m/s^{2}

  • from S = Ut + 0.5at^{2}  we can get  the time the carpenter has to catch the nails

          where U is the initial velocity and is 0 since the can was initially at            

            rest

           20 = (0 x t) + (0.5 x 1.4 x t^{2})

            20 = 0.7 x t^{2}

             t^{2} = 28.6

             t = 5.4 s

Draw a winding path that covers a distance of 70 miles and finishes with a displacement 20 miles soulthwest of the starting poin
EleoNora [17]

Distance is indeed a scalar amount that also refers to "<em><u>how the ground an object has encased</u></em>", and the Displacement is a vector thing that leads "<em><u>to the extent to which an object is located</u></em>", and the further calculation can be defined as follows:

Given:

distance= 70 miles

displacement = 20 miles

  • Displacement formula: \bold{Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}}
  • Distance formula: \bold{Distance = speed \times time}

A current of 3.6-A flows through a conductor. Calculate how much charge passed through and cross-section of the conductor in 25s
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

90 C

Explanation:

Electric current: This can be defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit. This can be expressed mathematically as,

I = dQ/dt

dQ = Idt

∫dQ = ∫Idt

Q = It................................ Equation 1

Where Q = amount of charge, I = current, t = time.

Given: I = 3.6 A, t = 25 s.

Substituting into equation 1,

Q = 3.6(25)

Q = 90 C.

Hence the amount of charge passing through the cross section of the conductor = 90 C

An Olympic track runner starts from rest and has an acceleration of 2.4 m/s2 for 3.6 s, then has zero acceleration for the remai
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The runner's speed at the following times would remain 8.64 m/s.

Explanation:

Acceleration definition: Acceleration is rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time.

In this case, after 3.6 seconds the acceleration is zero, it means that the velocity of the runner after 3.6 seconds is not changing and it will remain constant for the remainder of the race. Now, we have to find the velocity of the runner that he had after 3.6 seconds and that would be the runner's speed for the remainder of the race. For this we use first equation of motion.

First equation of motion:        Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf stands for final velocity

Vi stands for initial velocity

a stands for acceleration

t stands for time

In the question, it is mentioned that the runner starts from rest so its initial velocity (Vi) will be 0 m/s.

The acceleration (a) is given as 2.4 m/s²

The time (t) is given as 3.6 s

Now put the values of Vi, a and t in first equation of motion

                       Vf = Vi + a×t

                       Vf = 0 + 2.4×3.6

                       Vf = 2.4×3.6

                       Vf = 8.64 m/s

So,the runner's speed at the following times would remain 8.64 m/s.

What is the graph of the relationship between the volume of a gas at a constant pressure
Bogdan [553]
We know that P1V1 = P2V2, if there is a constant pressure, then the P1 and P2 can cancel out, so it is V1=V2 that is whats left.
