Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 61.8 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) Frope= 71.7 N

b) Frope=6.7 N

Explanation:

In the figure the skier is simulated as an object, "a box".

a) At constant velocity we can say that the object is in equilibrium, so we apply the Newton's first law:

∑F=0

Frope=w*sen6.8°

Frope=71.71N

Take into account that w is the weight that is calculated as mass per gravitiy constant:

w=m*g

$w=61.8Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$w=605.64N$

b) In this case the system has an acceleration of 0.109m/s2. Then, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

F=m*a

F=61.8Kg*0.109m/s2

Frope=6.73N

Why do objects that are thrown or shot follow a curved path

LenaWriter [7]

The initial force of the throw overcomes gravity quite easily. Then, gravity begins to bring it back down to earth, making a curved path.

A speaker emits sound waves in all directions, and at a distance of 28 m from it the intensity level is 73 db. What is the total

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

P=0.197 Watt

Explanation:

Given That

B=73dB

Io= 1 * 10^-12

$I=Io * 10^{\frac{B}{10} } \\I=2 * 10^{-5} Wm^{-2} \\A=4 * pi * r^{2}\\ A=9852.03 m^{2}\\ Power= I * A\\P= 0.197 Watt$

How much power should a braked 1.5t car have to be braked to reduce its speed from 30m / s to 10m / s in 5s?

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

-120000 W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / time

P = ΔE / t

P = (½ mv₂² − ½ mv₁²) / t

P = m (v₂² − v₁²) / (2t)

Given m = 1.5 t = 1500 kg, v₂ = 10 m/s, v₁ = 30 m/s, and t = 5 s:

P = (1500 kg) ((10 m/s)² − (30 m/s)²) / (2 × 5 s)

P = -120000 W
