A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.480 m/s. The to

tal mass of the sled, man, and rock is 96.0 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.310 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 14.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled if the man throws the rock forward (i.e. in the direction the sled is moving).
Also determine the speed of the sled if he throws the rock directly backwards.

This is a problem of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.0 kg * 0.480 m/s = 46.08 N*s

A) man throws the rock forward

=>

rock:
m1 = 0.310 kg
V1 = 14.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

sled and man:
m2 = 96 kg - 0.310 kg = 95.69 kg
v2 = ?

Conservation of momentum:
momentum before throw = momentum after throw

46.08N*s = 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2

=> v2 = [46.08 N*s - 0.310*14.5N*s ] / 95.69 kg = 0.434 m/s

B) man throws the rock backward

this changes the sign of the velocity, v2 = -14.5 m/s

 46.08N*s = - 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2

v2 = [46.08 N*s + 0.310*14.5 N*s] / 95.69 k = 0.529 m/s

A wrench 20 cm long lies along the positive y-axis and grips a bolt at the origin. A force is applied in the direction 0, 4, −3
Andreyy89

Answer:

1250 N

Explanation:

length of wrench = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Write the length of wrench in vector form

r = 0.2 j metre

Direction of force= \frac{0i+4j-3k}{\sqrt{0 + 16 + 9}}=\frac{0i+4j-3k}{5}

Let the magnitude of force is F

So, write the force in vector form

F = F  \frac{0i+4j-3k}{\sqrt{0 + 16 + 9}}=\frac{0i+4j-3k}{5}

torque, T = 150 Nm

Torque = T = r x F

150 i =0.2j\times F\frac{0i+4j-3k}{5}

F = 1250 N

Thus, the magnitude of force is 1250 N.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T (1)

Where:

P - Pressure.

V - Volume.

n - Molar quantity, in moles.

R_{u} - Ideal gas constant.

T - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2} (2)

If we know that \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}, then the resulting pressure of the system is:

P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)

P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

A 2-lb slider is propelled upward at A along the fixed curved bar which lies in a vertical plane. If the slider is observed to h
timofeeve [1]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}

N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}

N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})

N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}

N = 1.374lb

PART B) Acceleration

F_t = ma_t

-mgsin\theta = ma_t

-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t

-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t

a_T = -16.10ft/s^2

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.

<em>NOTE: For the problem, the graph in which the turning radius and the angle of suspension was specified was not supplied. A graphic that matches the description given by the problem is attached.</em>
