Suppose a person whose mass is m is being held up against the wall with a constant tangential velocity v greater than the minimu

m necessary. Find the magnitude of the frictional force between the person and the wall
Physics
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The man is moving on a circular path . The reaction of wall is providing centripetal force .so

R = mv² / r

Frictional force = μR where  μ is coefficient of friction

= μ x mv² / r

Frictional force = μ x mv² / r

A Boeing 747 ""Jumbo Jet"" has a length of 59.7 m. The runway on which the plane lands intersects another runway. The width of t
Reika [66]

Answer:

1.7 seconds

Explanation:

To clear the intersection, the total distance to be covered = 59.7 + 25 =84.7m

first we need to find the initial speed to just enter the intersection by using the third equation of motion

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

45^2 - u^2 = 2 * -5.7 * 84.7

u^2 = 45^2 +965.58

u^2 = 2990.58

u = 54.7 m/s

Now for time we apply the first equation of motion

v-u =a * t

t = (v-u)/a = (45 - 54.7)/-5.7 = 1.7seconds

Consider a system of a cliff diver and the Earth. The gravitational potential energy of the system decreases by 25,000 J as the
salantis [7]

Answer:

568.18 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The formula for gravitational potential is given as

Ep = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where Ep = Gravitational potential, m = mass of the diver,h = Height.

But,

W = mg.................... Equation 2

Where W = weight of the diver.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

Ep = Wh

Make W the subject of the equation

W = Ep/h................... Equation 3

Given: Ep = 25000 J, h = 44 m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 25000/44

W = 568.18 N.

Hence the weight of the diver = 568.18 N

What is the kinetic energy of a 9.0 kg steelhead if its speed is 16 m/s?
Vesnalui [34]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of the Steelhead(m) = 9 kg

Velocity of the Steelhead(v) = 16 m/s

<u>Calculating the Kinetic Energy:</u>

KE = 1/2mv²

replacing the variables

KE = 1/2 * 9 * (16)²

KE = 1152 Joules

1. A spring extends by 10 cm when a mass of 100 g is attached to it. What is the spring constant? (Calculate your answer in N/m)
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

1) k = 10 [N/m]

2) a-) x = 0.4 [m]

b)  x = 0.075 [m]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this type of problems that include springs we must use Hooke's law, which relates the force to the deformed length of the spring and in the same way to the spring coefficient.

F = k*x

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons]

k = spring constant  [N/m]

x = distance = 10 [cm] = 0.1 [m]

Now, the weight is equal to the product of the mass by the gravity

W = m*g = F

where:

m = mass = 100 [g] = 0.1 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

F = 0.1*10 = 1 [N]

Now clearing k

k = F/x

k = 1/0.1

k = 10 [N/m]

2)

a ) if the force is 4 [N]

clearing x

x = F/k

x = 4/10

x = 0.4 [m]

m = 75 [g] = 0.075 [kg]

W = m*g = F

F = 0.075*10 = 0.75 [N]

x = .75/10

x = 0.075 [m]
