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

Answer:

<h2>Force due to biceps is given as</h2><h2>F = 1991.05 N</h2>

Explanation:

For balancing the force we know that

Torque due to weight hold on his hand = torque due to force applied by biceps

So here we will have

mg \times L = F \times d

so we have

18.14 \times 9.8 \times 0.56 = F \times (0.05)

F = 1991.05 N

One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 10-3 m3) covers an area of 17.8 m2. What is the thickness of the fresh paint on the wall?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

0.2129 mm

Explanation:

We have given volume of the paint = 1 gallon=3.79\times 10^{-3}m^3

Area that covers the paint =17.8 m^2

We have to find the thickness of the fresh paint

So thickness=\frac{volume}{area}=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{17.8}=0.2129\times 10^{-3}m=0.2129mm

So the thickness of fresh paint on the wall is 0.2129 mm

Astronomers have found water on mars.
vodomira [7]

The thin atmosphere of Mars is thought to be due to the planet's lack of a magnetic field, which has allowed the Solar wind to blow away much of the gas the planet once had. Venus, despite still having a thick atmosphere of CO2, surprisingly has a similar problem

The world speed record on water was set on October
Luda [366]

Answer: Remember speed is distance divided by time, so if he travels 1000 m in 7.045 s, his speed is

(1000 m)/(7.045 s) = 141.9 m/s.

Note there are 1609 metres in a mile, or 1 mi = 1609 m, so m = 1/1609 mi, or

141.9/1609 mi/s = 0.08822 mi/s. Now, note that 1 h = 3600 s, so the speed is

0.08822*3600 mi/h = 317.6 mi/h.
