a rescue line is to be thrown horizontally from the bridge of a cruise ship at 40.0 m above sea level to a life boat 50.0 m away

with what horizontal speed should the rescue line be thrown?

There is a 40m drop from the bridge, so we can work out the time of the vertical component first (how long it will take to reach the water) 

do this by using a SUVAT equation s=ut+0.5at^2
this rearranges to t= sqrt(2s/a)
- note that u has been removed since there is no initial velocity.
 
sqrt((2*40)/9.81)= 2.86 seconds 

this means that the horizontal component of 50m has so be covered in 2.86s 
and speed = distance/ time 

50m/2.86s=17.48ms^-1

the line has to be thrown at 17.48ms^-1 or more to reach the life boat.

You pull a wagon with a force of 20 N. The wagon has a mass of 10 kg. What is the wagon's acceleration?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 10 kg

We have

a =  \frac{20}{10}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Find the useful power output (in W) of an elevator motor that lifts a 2600 kg load a height of 30.0 m in 12.0 s, if it also incr
Annette [7]

Answer:

P = 251,916.667 W

Cost = 2,267.25 cents

Explanation:

To solve this question we will use the Work Energy Theorem, which is

W = dP + dK\\

Where

dP = Change in Potential Energy

dK = Change in Kinetic Energy

Change in Potential Energy

P_{i} = mgh_{i}\\  P_{f} = mgh_{f}

Where

P_{i} = Initial Potential Energy

P_{f} = Final Potential Energy

m = Mass of System = 10,000 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s

h_{i} = Initial Height = 0

h_{f} = Final Height = 30 m

Inputting the values we get the answer for dP

dP = P_{f} - P_{i}\\dP= mgh_{f} - mgh_{i}\\ dP= 10000(9.81)(30) - 0\\ dP= 2943000

Change in Kinetic Energy

K_{i} = \frac{1}{2} mv_{i} ^2\\ K_{f} = \frac{1}{2} mv_{f} ^2

Where

K_{i} = Initial Kinetic Energy

K_{f} = Final Kinetic Energy

m = Mass of System = 10,000 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s

v_{i} = Initial Velocity = 0 m/2

v_{f} = Final Velocity = 4 m/s

Inputting the values we get the answer for dK

dK = K_{f} - K_{i}\\ dK = \frac{1}{2} mv_{f} ^2 - \frac{1}{2} mv_{i} ^2\\ dK = \frac{1}{2} (10000)(4)^2 - 0 \\ dK = 80000

Total Work

W = dP + dK\\

Inputting the values

W = 2943000 + 80000

W = 3,023,000

a) Finding the useful Power Output

P = \frac{W}{t}

Where

P = Power Output

W = Work Done = 3,023,000J

t = Time = 12s

Inputting the values

P = \frac{3,023,000}{12}\\ P = 251,916.667

P = 251,916.667 W

b) Finding the Total Cost

Cost = $0.0900 x P/1000

Cost = $0.0900 x (251,916.667/1000)

Cost = $22.67 or 2,267.25 cents

Why the bicycle stops when the cyclist stops pedaling?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The bicycle slows down because of the frictional force acting on the tyres of the bicycle. When this frictional force overcomes the force applied by paddling, the bicycle stops.

Two identical loudspeakers are driven in phase by a common oscillator at 750 Hz and face each other at a distance of 1.24 m. Loc
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0.2286  m,  0.686 m and  1,143 m

therefore we see that there is respect even where the intensity is minimal

Explanation:

Destructive interference to the two speakers is described by the expression

       Δr = (2n +1) λ/2

where r is the distance,  λ the wavelength and n an integer indicating the order of the interference

let's locate the origin on the left speaker

let's find the wavelength with the equation

        v =  λ f

         λ = v / f

we substitute

      Δr = (2n + 1) v / 2f

let's calculate for difference values ​​of n

     Δr = (2n +1) 343/(2 750)

     Δr = (2n + 1) 0.2286

we locate the different values ​​for a minimum of interim

    n     Δr (m)

     0    0.2286

     1     0.686

     2    1,143

therefore we see that there is respect even where the intensity is minimal
