Dumbo the elephant weights 13,000 pounds. What force would the Earths surface apply to Dumbo? 2.2 pounds = 1 kg

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

57908 N

Explanation:

Let's first convert Dumbo's mass into kg using the given relationship: 2.2 pounds =1 kg.

Then, 13000 lbs = 13000/2.2 kg = 5909 kg

Now, let's find the force of gravity on Dumbo at the surface of the earth, which would be in magnitude equal to the normal force that the Earth's surface applies on Dumbo.

F = m * a = 5909 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 57908 N

A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15 m apart. By means of a rope, the girl exerts a 5.2 N for

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(a) $a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) $a_s=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}$

(c) $x_f=2.6m$

Explanation:

(a) According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to it's mass.

$a_s=\frac{F}{m_s}\\a_s=\frac{5.2N}{8.4kg}\\a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) According to Newton's third law, the force that the sled exerts on the girl is equal in magnitude but opposite in the direction of the force that the girl exerts on the sled:

$a_g=\frac{F}{m_g}\\a_g=\frac{5.2N}{40kg}\\a_g=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}$

(c) Using the kinematics equation:

$x_f=x_0+v_0t \pm \frac{at^2}{2}$

For the girl, we have $x_0=0$ and $v_0=0$ . So:

$x_f_g=\frac{a_gt^2}{2}(1)$

For the sled, we have $v_0=0$ . So:

$x_f_s=x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}(2)$

When they meet, the final positions are the same. So, equaling (1) and (2) and solving for t:

$x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}=\frac{a_st^2}{2}\\t^2(a_g+a_s)=2x_0_s\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x_s_0}{a_g+a_s}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(15m)}{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}+0.62\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=6.32s$

Now, we solve (1) for $x_f_g$

$x_f_g=\frac{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}(6.32s)^2}{2}\\x_f_g=2.6m\\x_f=2.6m$

You wiggle a string,that is fixed to a wall at the other end, creating a sinusoidalwave with a frequency of 2.00 Hz and an ampli

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A general wave function is given by:

$f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)$

A: amplitude of the wave = 0.075m

k: wave number

w: angular frequency

a) You use the following expressions for the calculation of k, w, T and λ:

$\omega = 2\pi f=2\pi (2.00Hz)=12.56\frac{rad}{s}$

$k=\frac{\omega}{v}=\frac{12.56\frac{rad}{s}}{12.0\frac{m}{s}}=1.047\ m^{-1}$

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{2.00Hz}=0.5s\\\\\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{1.047m^{-1}}=6m$

b) Hence, the wave function is:

$f(x,t)=0.075m\ cos((1.047m^{-1})x-(12.56\frac{rad}{s})t)$

c) for x=3m you have:

$f(3,t)=0.075cos(1.047*3-12.56t)$

d) the speed of the medium:

$\frac{df}{dt}=\omega Acos(kx-\omega t)\\\\\frac{df}{dt}=(12.56)(1.047)cos(1.047x-12.56t)$

you can see the velocity of the medium for example for x = 0:

$v=\frac{df}{dt}=13.15cos(12.56t)$
