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.

An electrical drill has 100 J of chemical energy. Of the 100 J, 45 J are transformed into kinetic energy and 20 J are transforme
Dmitry [639]
For the law of conservation of energy, the total output energy must be equal to the total input energy:
E_{in} = E_{out} (1)
The input energy is the chemical energy of the drill:
E_{in}=100 J
The output energy is sum of kinetic energy Ek, sound Es and thermal energy Et:
E_{out} = E_k+E_s+E_t (2)
We know the value of the kinetic energy: E_k =45 J and of the energy converted into sound: E_s=20 J, so we can put together (1) and (2) to find the thermal energy:
E_t=E_{in}-E_k-E_s=100 J-45 J-20 J=35 J

Suppose we take a 1 m long uniform bar and support it at the 21 cm mark. Hanging a 0.40 kg mass on the short end of the beam res
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The mass of the beam is = 29 kg.

Explanation:

A beam with mass 40 kg is shown in figure. Point S is the support point. Point B is the middle point on the beam where mass of the beam acts.

Taking moment about Point S

40 × 21 = M_{beam} × 29

M_{beam} = 29 kg

Therefore the mass of the beam is = 29 kg.

What is the momentum of a 4 kg object moving west at 4 m/s?*
Grace [21]

Answer:

16kg*m/s west

Explanation:

P=M*V

Momentum= Mass time velocity, plug it into the formula,

M is 4 and V is 4, 4*4=16, and since the object is moving west its going to be west.

basically saying in simpler terms,

16=4*4

Help with 5 and the question below. BRAINLIEST FOR THE CORRECT ANSWER! Urgent Physics help!
krok68 [10]

Sound level at distance of 15 m is given as 20 dB

so intensity at this distance is given as

L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}

20 = 10 Log{I}{10^{-12}}

I_1 = 10^{-10}W/m^2

now if we move closer to some some distance the sound level is now 50 dB

now the intensity is given as

L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}

50 = 10Log\frac{I}{10^{-12}}

I_2 = 10^{-7}W/m^2

now we know that

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

\frac{10^{-10}}{10^{-7}} = \frac{r_2^2}{15^2}

r_2 = 47 cm

so now the distance from friend must be 47 cm
