The jumper has a mass of 50 kg, and the bridge's height above the river is 150 m. The rope has an unstretched length of 11 m and

stretches a distance of 4 m before bringing the jumper to a stop. Determine the maximum speed of the jumper and the spring constant of the rope. In your calculation, use g

Answer:

The maximum speed of the jumper is 54.2m/s

The spring constant of the rope is

K=9.19KN/m

Explanation:

Step one

According to hook's law the applied force F is proportional to the extension e provided the elasticity is maintained

Step two

Given that

mass= 50kg

Height of bridge h=150m

Extention e=4m

Step three

To determine the maximum speed of the jumper

Since he is going with gravity we assume g=9.81m/s²

And we apply the equation of motion

V²=U²+2gh

where u= initial velocity of the jumper =0

h=height of bridge

Step four

Substituting we have

V²=0²+2*9.81*150

V²=2943

V=√2943

V=54.2m/s

Step five

To solve for the spring constant

We have to equate to potential energy of the jumper to the energy stored in the spring

Potential energy of the jumper =mgh

Energy stored in the spring =1/2ke²

Hence mgh=1/2ke²

Making k subject of formula we have

K=2mgh/e²

Substituting our data into the expression we have

K=2*50*9.81*150/4²

K=147150/16

K=9196.9N/m

K=9.19KN/m

A refrigerator is 1.8m tall, lm wide,and 0.8m deep.The center of mass is lm from the bottom, 0.5m from the side, and 0.6m from t
VikaD [51]

Answer:

  F = 520 N

Explanation:

For this exercise the rotational equilibrium equation should be used

          Σ τ = 0

Let's set a reference system with the origin at the back of the refrigerator and the counterclockwise rotation as positive. On the x-axis it is horizontal directed outward, eg the horizontal y-axis directed to the side and the z-axis vertical

Torque is

             τ = F x r

the bold indicate vectors, we analyze each force

the applied force is horizontal along the -x axis, the arm (perpendicular distance) is directed in the z axis,

The weight of the body is the vertical direction of the z-axis, so the arm is on the x-axis

                 -F z + W x = 0

                 F z = W x

                 F =  \frac{x}{z}  W

             

The exercise indicates the point of application of the force z = 1.5 m and the weight is placed in the center of mass of the body x = 0.6 m, we are assuming that the force is applied in the wide center of the refrigerator

let's calculate

                 F = 1300 0.6 / 1.5

                 F = 520 N

The diagram below represents the rock cycle.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

C. Heat and Pressure

Explanation:

The arrow which is labeled A points from igneous rock to metamorphic rock.

There are three types of Rocks:

1. Igneous Rock

2. Metamorphic Rock

3. Sedimentary Rock

Rock cycle:

Rock cycle is the process that describes the transition between these three types of rocks. Each type has its own form and its own equilibrium condition. The rock type alters when it is pushed out of its equilibrium conditions.

Transition of Igneous rock to Metamorphic rock:

Igneous rock forms when magma cools down. The transition of Igneous Rock to Metamorphic Rock is a result of a process called Metamorphism. Metamorphism is the alteration in the structure of rock as a result of certain heat and pressure conditions. Inside Earth heat comes from pressure. Heat with pressure does not melt the rock but it bakes the rock. Baking is not melting but it changes the shape of the rock while it is still solid. It actually forms crystals. Because the rock changes its structure, it is called Metamorphic Rock.

A 2,200-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 3.40 m before coming into contact
love history [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of Force is 8.58×10⁵N and direction is upwards

Explanation:

The work beam does on the pile driver is given by

W=(FCos180°)Δx= -F(0.088m)

From work energy theorem

W_{nc}=(KE_{f}-KE_{i})+(PE_{f}-PE_{i})\\W_{nc}=1/2m(vf^{2}-vi^{2})+mg(yf-yi)

Choosing y=0 at the the level where the driver first contacts the beam and vi=0 at yi=+3.40m and comes to rest again vf=0 at yf= -0.088m

So

-F(0.088m)=1/2m(0-0)+2,200kg(9.81m/s^{2} )(-0.088m-3.40m)\\-F(0.088)=-75508.224\\F=75508.224/0.088\\F=8.58*10^{5} N

The magnitude of Force is 8.58×10⁵N and direction is upwards
