Answer:

588 N

Explanation:

Since the 60 kg is moving at a constant velocity there is no acceleration. In order for the system to be balanced, both the normal force and the force of gravity must be equal. In this case the man has a mass of 60 kg. So to find the force you multiply mass by gravitys constant (9.81). And you end up with an answer of 588.6 but I rounded to 588.

The reactive force acting on the man by the elevator is about 588 Newton

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

$\large {\boxed {F = ma }$

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

mass of the man = 60 kg

velocity of the lift = 5 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

reactive force = N = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

We will use Newton's 2nd law formula for this problem.

$\Sigma F = ma$

$N - w = ma$

$N - mg = ma$

$N - 60(9.8) = 60(0)$ → constant velocity ⇒ a = 0

$N = 0 + 588$

$N = 588 ~ Newton$

A wave has a wavelength of 4. 9 m and a velocity of 9. 8 m/s. The medium through which this wave is traveling is then heated so

tatiyna

The wavelength of a wave is obtained by taking the ratio of wave speed and frequency.

The wavelength of the heated wave is 9.8 m. Hence, option (b) is correct.

What is frequency of a wave?

The number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second is known as the frequency of a wave. It is expressed as the ratio of the velocity of the wave to its wavelength.

Given data-

The wavelength of the wave is, $\lambda = 4.9 \;\rm m$ .

The velocity of the wave is, v = 9.8 m/s.

The mathematical expression for the frequency of the wave is,

$f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

Solving as,

$f = \dfrac{9.9}{4.9}\\\\f =2 \;\rm Hz$

Now, with constant frequency and the double magnitude of velocity (v' = 2 × 9.8 = 19.6 m/s). The wavelength of the heated wave is calculated as,

$f = \dfrac{v'}{\lambda'}$

here,

$\lambda'$ is the wavelength of the heated wave.

Solving as,

$2 = \dfrac{19.6}{\lambda'}\\\\\lambda' = \dfrac{19.6}{2}\\\\\lambda' = 9.8 \;\rm m$

Thus, we can conclude that the wavelength of the heated wave is 9.8 m. Hence, option (b) is correct.

From a height of 40.0 m, a 1.00 kg bird dives (from rest) into a small fish tank containing 50.5 kg of water. Part A What is the

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

0.00185 °C

Explanation:

From the question,

The potential energy of the bird = heat gained by the water in the fish tank.

mgh = cm'(Δt)................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bird, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, c = specific heat capacity of water, m' = mass of water, Δt = rise in temperature of water.

make Δt the subject of the equation

Δt = mgh/cm'............... Equation 2

Given: m = 1 kg, h = 40 m, m' = 50.5 kg

constant: g = 9.8 m/s², c = 4200 J/kg.K

Substitute into equation 2

Δt = 1(40)(9.8)/(50.5×4200)

Δt = 392/212100

Δt = 0.00185 °C

You are bungee jumping from a bridge. Initially, while you are falling the slack bungee cord isn’t exerting any forces or torque

harina [27]

Answer:

he fall movement we see that both the force is different from zero, and the torque is different from zero.

When analyzing the statements the d is true

Explanation:

Let's pose the solution of this problem, to be able to analyze the firm affirmations.

When the person is falling, the weight acts on them all the time, initially the rope has no force, but at the moment it begins to lash it exerts a force towards the top that is proportional to the lengthening of the rope.

The equation for this part is

Fe - W = m a

k x - mg = m a

As the axis of rotation is located at the top where they jump, there is a torque.

What is it

Fe y - W y = I α

angular and linear acceleration are related

a = α r

Fe y - W y = I a / r

In the fall movement we see that both the force is different from zero, and the torque is different from zero.
