A 65-kg ice skater stands facing a wall with his arms bent and then pushes away from the wall by straightening his arms. At the

instant at which his fingers lose contact with the wall, his center of mass has moved 0.55 m , and at this instant he is traveling at 3.5 m/s .
Part A: What is the average force exerted by the wall on him? Express your answer with the appropriate units. FavF a v = 720 N

Part B: What is the work done by the wall on him?

Our values can be defined like this,

m = 65kg

v = 3.5m / s

d = 0.55m

The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,

W = \Delta KE

Where

KE = Kinetic energy,

Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by

W = Fd

and kinetic energy by

\frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2

So,

Fd = \frac {1} {2} m ^ 2

Clearing F,

F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {2d}

Replacing the values

F = \frac {(65) (3.5)} {2 * 0.55}

F = 723.9N

B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.

The recycling of glass, plastic, and metal would highly reduce the amount of the waste being sent to the local landfill. The large plastic container, fiberboards, etc, are removed by hand for this. This sorting makes it easy to recycle and reuse the plastic and fiber materials.

State: the units for acceleration are?
krok68 [10]

A unit of acceleration needs a unit of length in the numerator
and a squared unit of time in the denominator.

Example:    meters / second²
                    feet / minute²
                    smoots / hour² 
                    furlongs / fortnight² .

Ideally, in order to completely describe an acceleration vector,
you also need to state a direction.

Electrical wire with a diameter of .5 cm is wound on a spool with a radius of 30 cm and a height of 24 cm.
kow [346]

Answer:

a)   # lap = 301.59 rad , b)   L = 90.48 m

Explanation:

a) Let's use a direct proportions rule (rule of three). If one turn of the wire covers 0.05 cm, how many turns do you need to cover 24 cm

          # turns = 1 turn (24 cm / 0.5 cm)

         # laps = 48 laps

Let's reduce to radians

        # laps = 48 laps (2 round / 1 round)

       # lap = 301.59 rad

b) Each lap gives a length equal to the length of the circle

          L₀ = 2π R

          L = # turns L₀

          L = # turns 2π R

          L = 48 2π 30

          L = 9047.79 cm

          L = 90.48 m
