A rock climber hangs freely from a nylon rope that is 15 m long and has a diameter of 8.3 mm. If the rope stretches 5.1 cm, what

is the mass of the climber? Young's modulus for nylon is Y=0.37Ã10^10N/m^2.

Answer:

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

Explanation:

Change in length

        \Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}

Load, P = m x 9.81 = 9.81m

Young's modulus, Y = 0.37 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

Area

       A=\frac{\pi (8.3\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=5.41\times 10^{-5}m^2

Length, L = 15 m

ΔL = 5.1 cm = 0.051 m

Substituting

       0.051=\frac{9.81m\times 15}{5.41\times 10^{-5}\times 0.37\times 10^{10}}\\\\m=69.38kg  

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

The coordinate of a particle in meters is given by x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t , where the time tis in seconds. The
Reika [66]

Complete question:

The coordinate of a particle in meters is given by x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³ , where the time tis in seconds. The

particle is momentarily at rest at t is:

Select one:

a. 9.3s

b. 1.3s

C. 0.75s

d.5.3s

e. 7.3s

​

Answer:

b. 1.3 s

Explanation:

Given;

position of the particle, x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³

when the particle is at rest, the velocity is zero.

velocity = dx/dt

dx /dt = 16 - 9t²

16 - 9t² = 0

9t² = 16

t² = 16 /9

t = √(16 / 9)

t = 4/3

t = 1.3 s

Therefore, the particle is momentarily at rest at t = 1.3 s

A 3.3 kg ball sits on the ground and is kicked with a FAPP of 36N
jeyben [28]

a) 32.3 N

The force of gravity (also called weight) on an object is given by

W = mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the ball in the problem,

m = 3.3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the ball:

W=(3.3)(9.8)=32.3 N

b) 48.3 N

The force applied

F_{app} = 36 N

The ball is kicked with this force, so we can assume that the kick is horizontal.

This means that the applied force and the weight are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, we can find the net force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

F=\sqrt{W^2+F_{app}^2}

And substituting

W = 32.3 N

Fapp = 36 N

We find

F=\sqrt{32.3^2+36^2}=48.3 N

c) 14.6 m/s^2

The ball's acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the ball in this problem,

m = 3.3 kg

F = 48.3 N

Solving the equation for a, we find

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{48.3}{3.3}=14.6 m/s^2

The capacitance of a fully-charged capacitor is 11 F. Determine the capacitor's capacitance when it is half charged.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The capacitance is 11 F for half and fully charged capacitor.

Explanation:

Capacitance of capacitor is given by the expression

             C=\frac{\epsilon A}{d}

Where ε is the  vacuum permittivity, A is the area of plates and d is the separation between plates.

So capacitance does not depend upon charge and potential. So capacitance fully and half charged capacitors are same.

Here the capacitance is 11 F for half and fully charged capacitor.

What statement BEST describes a solid?
BARSIC [14]
Solids: definite shape, definite volume
Because they are stiff and the molecules don't move around, they vibrate quickly.
Liquids: indefinite shape, definite volume
Because the shape or "fixed" area of liquids won't stay the same.
Gases: indefinite shape, indefinite volume
Because you've probably noticed, gases are set more freely, allowing molecules to move more freely than in solids and liquids.
