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.

Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diameter
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

diameter of circular room = 8 m

rotational velocity of the rider = 45 rev/min

                  = 45 \times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}

                  =4.712 rad/s

here in this case normal force is equal to centripetal force

N = m r ω²

N = m x 4 x 4.712²

N = 88.83m

frictional force = μ N

    = 88.83m x μ

now, for the body to not to slide

gravity force is equal to frictional force

m g = 88.83 m x μ

g = 88.83 x μ

9.8 = 88.83 x μ

 μ = 0.11

hence, the correct answer  is option C

A student environmental group is creating a campaign for locally sourced energy resources.What would be best for them to feature
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<em>A farmer with a field of solar panels.</em>

Explanation:

The closest to a locally sources energy would have been

A coal mine located in their county.

But coal as an energy source is not environmentally friendly due to carbon emission, and should not be what the group should advocate for.

<em>The best bet for them is </em>

<em>A farmer with a field of solar panels.</em>

As solar panels are a source of green energy and green energy is what the environmental group should often and always advocate for

Motor oil , with a viscosity of 0 . 250 Ns / m2 , is flowing through a tube that has a radius of 5 . 00 mm and is 25 . 0 cm long
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s

Explanation:

viscosity, η = 0.250 Ns/m^2

radius, r = 5 mm = 5 x 10^-3 m

length, l = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Pressure, P = 300 kPa = 300000 Pa

According to the Poisuellie's formula

Volume flow per unit time is

V=\frac{\pi \times Pr^{4}}{8\eta l}

V=\frac{3.14 \times 300000\times \left ( 5\times 10^{-3} \right )^{4}}{8\times 0.250\times 0.25}

V = 1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s

Thus, the volume of oil flowing per second is 1.1775 x 10^-3 m^3 /s.
