A woman is running around a playground while keeping an eye on her child who is on a swing set. The child is going back and fort

h one second per cycle of swinging. (a) What is the total distance run by the mother in five minutes if she has been going 5.0 m/s? (b) What is the total distance traveled by the child if the radius of the swing is 3.0 m and each swing covers a quarter of the circle?+

Answer:

(a) 1500 m

(b) 2827.43m

Explanation:

Given that the time for one cycle of the swing is 1 s

The radius of the swing, R= 3.0m

The angle covered, \theta, by each swing is a quarter of the circle. i.e.

\Theta=\frac {\pi}{2}

Speed of running of women =5 m/s.

Time of running = 5 minutes= 5 x 60 secondes= 300 s.

(a) As distance= (speed) x (time)

So, the required distance= 5 x 300 m= 1500 m.

(b) As there are two swings in one cycle, so, the distance covered in one swing is the length of the circular shown in the figure.

As arc length, l= \theta R, where \theta is the angle, in radian, subtended by the arc at the center, and R is the radius of curvature of the arc.

So, the distance covered by the child in 1 swing = \frac {\pi}{2}\times 3 m=\frac{3\pi}{2}m.

In 1 cycle, there are 2 swings, so distance covered in 1 cycle = 3 \pi m.

Now, in 1 second there is 1 cycle, so in 5 minutes there will be 300 cycles.

So, the total distance covered by the child

= 3\pi\times 300 m= 2827.43 m.

A block of ice(m = 14.0 kg) with an attached rope is at rest on a frictionless surface. You pull the block with a horizontal for
nadezda [96]

Answer:

a) The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) We need to calculate the weight, normal force from the ground to the block and the pull force. By 3rd Newton's Law we know that normal force is the reaction of the weight of the block of ice on a horizontal.

The weight of the block (W), measured in newtons, is:

W = m\cdot g (1)

Where:

m - Mass of the block of ice, measured in kilograms.

g  - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that m = 14\,kg and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the magnitudes of the weight and normal force of the block of ice are, respectively:

N = W = (14\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

N = W = 137.298\,N

And the pull force is:

F_{pull} = 98\,N

The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) Since the block of ice is on a frictionless surface and pull force is parallel to the direction of motion and uniform in time, we can apply the Impact Theorem, which states that:

m\cdot v_{o} +\Sigma F \cdot \Delta t = m\cdot v_{f} (2)

Where:

v_{o}, v_{f} - Initial and final speeds of the block, measured in meters per second.

\Sigma F - Horizontal net force, measured in newtons.

\Delta t - Impact time, measured in seconds.

Now we clear the final speed in (2):

v_{f} = v_{o}+\frac{\Sigma F\cdot \Delta t}{m}

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, m = 14\,kg, \Sigma F = 98\,N and \Delta t = 1.40\,s, then final speed of the ice block is:

v_{f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\frac{(98\,N)\cdot (1.40\,s)}{14\,kg}

v_{f} = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s}

The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 . (a)How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 11.0 ? (b)How lo
aliina [53]
For the first part, we are looking for Vf when dy=11.0
Upward is positive, downward is negative. 
So <span>Vf = square root [2(-9.8)(11.0) + (18.0)^2] </span>
<span>Vf = 10.4 m/s your answer is correct. 

For the part b, t is equals to the time took to reach and dy is equals to 11.0
you did, </span>11= 18t m/s-(1/2) 9.8t^2 then <span>-11 + 18t- 9.8t^2. By quadratic formula, for the way down the answer is 2.9 s while on it's way up, the answer is 0.77 s</span><span>

A dense metal sphere is dropped from a 10-meter tower, and at the exact same time an identical metal sphere is thrown horizontal
givi [52]

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion.  Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.
