A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona

l force that the pole exerts on the fireman. When the force on his hands equals his weight, what happens to the fireman?
A. The fireman comes to a stop.
B. The fireman descends with slower and slower speed.
C. The fireman descends with a smaller but non-zero acceleration.
D. The fireman continues to descend, but with constant speed.
E. The acceleration of the fireman is now upward.

Answer:

The fireman continues to descend but with constant speed.

Explanation:  

According to Newton first law of motion, The object which is rest continues to remain at rest or object moving with constant speed move with constant velocity when acted upon by an unbalanced force.

When the net force acting on the object becomes zero the object moves with constant speed.

Hence when the frictional force acting on the fireman hands equals to his body weight , the net force acting on the fireman becomes zero and thus fireman continues to descend with constant speed.

A spring with a spring constant of k = 185.0 N / m is oriented vertically, with one end on the ground. What distance does the sp
uysha [10]

Answer:

The distance spring compresses (x) = 0.0811 m

Explanation:

Spring constant (k) = 185 N / m

mass (m) = 1.53 kg

When mass is placed upon the spring the spring force is equal to weight of the mass.

⇒ Spring force (F) = weight of object

⇒  Spring force (F) = k × x

 And weight of the object = mg

⇒ k x =  mg -----------------(1)

Put all the values in equation (1) we get

⇒ 185 × x = 1.53 × 9.81

⇒ x = 0.0811 m

This the distance spring compresses, when mass is placed upon it.

Banked Curves: A 600-kg car is going around a banked curve with a radius of 110 m at a steady speed of 24.5 m/s. What is the app
Aleks04 [339]

The angle of baking from the calculation is obtained as 30°.

<h3>What is banking?</h3>

The term banking refers to a means of preventing vehicles from skidding off the road at curves.

We know that the banking angle is obtained from;

θ = tan-1(v^2/rg)

v = 24.5 m/s

r = 110 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

θ = tan-1(25^2/9.8 * 110)

θ = tan-1(625 /1078)

θ = 30°

An object starts at 11 m/s with an acceleration of 12 m/s? What is its velocity after 4.5 seconds?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

65 m/s

Explanation:

v=v0+at <=> v = 11 + 12 t ∧ t = 4.5 s <=> v = 11 + 12×4.5 <=> v = 65 m/s
