A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "40.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

40.0 N without breaking. What is the weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in (a) at constant speed and (b) with an acceleration whose magnitude is 2.57 m/s2?

To solve this problem we require the concept of Forces given by Newton in his second law. For the particular case where the acceleration is 0 and when there is a change of acceleration.

A) For the first case where the speed is constant we have to

F = mg

Here,

a=0m/s^2

Then,

F= mg

40N = m (9.8)

m = 4.077kg

B) Here we have an acceleration of 2.57m / s ^ 2. When there is acceleration it is considered that the sum of forces is dynamic, for that reason when performing the summation, we have

\sum F = ma

F-mg = ma

T = m(a+g)

40= m(9.8+2.57)

m = 3.23kG

Therefore the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically is 3.23KG when there is acceleration but 4.077kg with constant velocity

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

A ball hits the ground and the ground pushes up on it

Explanation:

Newton's third law basically states that for every action, there's a reaction.

a ball hitting the ground would be the action. the ground pushing up on it with the same force is the reaction.

Hope this Helps!!! :)

Two mass m1 and m2 lie on a frictionless surface. Between the two masses is a compressed spring, with spring constant k. The sys
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The spring was compressed the following amount:

\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }

Explanation:

Use conservation of energy between initial and final state, considering that the surface id frictionless, and there is no loss in thermal energy due to friction. the total initial energy is the potential energy of the compressed spring (by an amount \Delta x), and the total final energy is the addition of the kinetic energies of both masses:

E_i=\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2\\\\E_f=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2

E_i=E_f\\

\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2\\k\,(\Delta x)^2=m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2\\(\Delta x)^2=\frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} \\\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }

Use free fall in a sentance
Softa [21]
Free fall means rapid fall or a downward motion due to gravity. Sentence example: When Joe was accidentally bumped by Sarah, he was sent towards a free fall down the escalator, leading to a serious injury on his arm and two legs.
