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.

A uniform metal meter-stick is balanced with a 1.0 kg rock attached to the left end of the stick. If the support is located 0.25
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

c) 1.0 kg

Explanation:

The mass of the stick will be located at the centre of the metre rule. Since the rock is located 0.25m from the pivot, the mass of the meter rule is also 0.25m to the Right of the support

According to law of moment

Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anti clockwise moments

Clockwise moment = M×0.25(mass of metre rule is M)

CW moment = 0.25M

Anti clockwise moment = 0.25×1

ACW moments = 0.25kgm

Equate;

0.25M = 0.25

M = 0.25/0.25

M = 1.0kg

Hence the mass of the metre rule is 1.0kg

A bicyclist of mass 60kg supplies 340W of power while riding into a 5 m/s head wind. The frontal area of the cyclist and bicycle
NikAS [45]

Answer:

87.1 mph

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass,m=60 kg

Power,P=340 W

Speed,v=5 m/s

Area,A=0.344 m^2

Drag coefficient,C_d=0.88

Coefficient of rolling resistance,\mu_r=0.007

Friction force,f=\mu_rmg=0.007\times 60\times 9.8=4.1 N

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Let speed of cyclist=v'

Drag force,F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho_{air}AC_dv^2

Density of air,\rho_{air}=1.225 kg/m^3

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.225\times 0.344\times 0.88(5)^2=4.635N

Power,P=(F_d+f)\times v'

340=(4.1+4.635) v'=8.735v'

v'=\frac{340}{8.735}=38.9m/s

v'=87.1 mph

1 m=0.00062137 miles

1 hour=3600 s

Which scientific law describes the relationship between action and reaction force pairs? Newton's third law of motion Kepler's l
Hitman42 [59]

Newton's third law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note that this law is always valid, even when it seems it is not.

Consider for example the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body (= your weight). We can say that this is the action force. It may seems that there is no reaction force in this case. However, this is not true: in fact, your body also exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth, and this is the reaction force. The reason that explains why we don't notice any effect on Earth due to this force is that the mass of the Earth is much larger than your mass, therefore the acceleration produced on the Earth because of the force you apply is negligible.

It is also important to note that the action-reaction pair of forces always act on two different objects, so they never appear in the same free-body diagram.
