Answer:

a) W = 10995.6 J

b) W = - 9996 J

c) Kf = 999.6 J

d) v = 5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Given

m = 60 Kg

h = 17 m

a = g/10

g = 9.8 m/s²

a) We can apply Newton's 2nd Law as follows

∑Fy = m*a ⇒ T - m*g = m*a ⇒ T = (g + a)*m

where T is the force exerted by the cable

⇒ T = (g + (g/10))*m = (11/10)*g*m = (11/10)*(9.8 m/s²)*(60 Kg)

⇒ T = 646.8 N

then we use the equation

W = F*d = T*h = (646.8 N)*(17 m)

W = 10995.6 J

b) We use the formula

W = m*g*h ⇒ W = (60 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(-17 m)

⇒ W = - 9996 J

c) We have to obtain Wnet as follows

Wnet = W₁ + W₂ = 10995.6 J - 9996 J

⇒ Wnet = 999.6 J

then we apply the equation

Wnet = ΔK = Kf - Ki = Kf - 0 = Kf

⇒ Kf = 999.6 J

d) Knowing that

K = 0.5*m*v² ⇒ v = √(2*Kf / m)

⇒ v = √(2*999.6 J / 60 Kg)

⇒ v = 5.77 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

mass =60kg d = 17m a=g/10

(a) work done on the astronaut by the force from the helicopter = fd

but f =m(g+a)

w= m( g+g/10)d

wt = 11/10 mgd

w =11/10 * 60 *9.8 * 17 = 10995.6J = 1IKJ

(b) workdone by her weight = -mgh

= 60*9.8* 17 = -9996J

(C) Kinetic energy = wt + w

= (10995.6 - 9996)J = 999.6J

(d) Kinetic energy =1/2m $v^{2}$

hence velocity = $\sqrt{2ke/m}$ = 5.777m/s

Estimate the force required to bind the two protons in the He nucleus together. (Hint: Model the protons as point charges. Assum

scoray [572]

Answer:

F = 2.30 10⁴ N

Explanation:

The force required to link two gates must be equal to or greater than the electrostatic force of repulsion, because the protons have equal charges.

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

Where k is the Coulomb constant that is worth 8.99 10⁹ N m² / C²

In this case the proton charge is 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C and the distance between them is approximately the diameter of the core r = 10⁻¹⁵ m

Let's calculate

F = 8.99 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² / (10⁻¹⁵)²

F = 2.30 10⁴ N

The bond strength must be equal to or greater than this value

please solve this for me ,A garden roller is pulled with a force of 200N acting at an angle of 50 degree with the ground level.f

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The force pulling the roller along the ground is 128.55 N

Explanation:

A force of 200 N acting at an angle of 50° with the ground level

This force is pulled a garden roller

We need to find the force pulling the roller along the ground

The force that pulling the roller along the ground is the horizontal

component of the force acting

→ The force acting is 200 N at direction 50° with ground (horizontal)

→ The horizontal component = F cosФ

→ F = 200 N , Ф = 50

→ The horizontal component = 200 cos(50) = 128.55 N

128.55 N is the horizontal component of the force that pulling the

roller along the ground

<em>The force pulling the roller along the ground is 128.55 N</em>

how much gravitational potential energy do you give a 70 kg person when you lift him up 3 m in the air?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Given gravitational potential energy when he's lifted is 2058 J.

Kinetic energy is transferred to the person.

Amount of kinetic energy the person has is -2058 J

velocity of person = 7.67 m/s².

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Weight of person = 70 kg

Lifted height = 3 m

1. Gravitational potential energy of a lifted person is equal to the work done.

$PE_g=W=m\times g\times h\\Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\PE_g= m = m\times g\times h= 70\times 9.8 \times 3 = 2058\ kg.m/s^2 = 2058\ J$

Gravitational potential energy is equal to 2058 Joules.

2. The Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is being transferred to the person.

3. Kinetic energy gained = Potential energy lost = $-PE_g = -2058\ kg.m/s^2$

Kinetic energy gained by the person = (-2058 kg.m/s²)

4. Velocity = ?

Kinetic energy magnitude= $\frac{1}{2} m\times v^2 = m\times g \times h$

Solving for v, we get

$v=\sqrt{2gh} =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 3} = \sqrt{58.8} = 7.67 m/s^2$

The person will be going at a speed of 7.67 m/s².

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, $E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, $V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V$

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

$E=eV$

e is charge of electron

$E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4$

$E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J$

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is $8\times 10^{-15}\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A vehicle moving with a uniform a acceleration of 2m/s and has a velocity of 4m/s at a certain time .

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1 second later the vehicle's velocity will be:

$v(1)= 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\$

5 seconds later the vehicle's velocity will be:

$v(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the velocity of an object under constant accelerated motion (with acceleration " $a$ "):

$v(t)=v_0+a\,t$

Therefore, in this case $v_0=4\,\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $a=2\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

so we can estimate the velocity of the vehicle at different times just by replacing the requested "t" in the expression:

$v(t)=v_0+a\,t\\v(t)=4+2\,\,t\\v(1)=4+2\,(1) = 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\v(5)=4+2\,(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}$
