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.

(URGENT) A ball rolls off a ledge. Its velocity is 7.70m/s in a horizontal direction. It falls on the floor 1.60m below the ledg
elena-s [515]

Answer:

the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters

Explanation:

The computation of the horizontal distance while travelling in the air is shown below:

Data provided in the question is as follows

Velocity = u = 7.70 m/s

H = 1.60 m

R = horizontal direction

Based on the above information

As we know that

R = u × time

where,

Time = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

So,

= 7.70\times \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.60}{10} }

= 4.355 meters

hence, the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters
