A stuntman is being pulled along a rough road at a constant velocity by a cable attached to a moving truck. The cable is paralle

l to the ground. The mass of the stuntman is 107 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and him is 0.682. Find the tension in the cable.

Answer:

715 N

Explanation:

Since the system is moving at a constant velocity, the net force must be 0. The tension on the road is equal and opposite direction with the kinetic friction force created by the road and the stuntman.

Let g = 9.8 m/s2

Gravity and equalized normal force is:

N = P = mg = 107*9.8 = 1048.6 N

Kinetic friction force and equalized tension force on the rope is

T = F_{\mu} = N\mu = 1048.6 * 0.682 = 715.1452 N

How does Newton describe the dependence of acceleration of a body on its mass and the net applied force?

<h2>Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force." What, then, happens to a body when an external force is applied to it? That situation is described by Newton's Second Law of Motion.  </h2><h2> equation as ∑F = ma </h2><h2> </h2><h2>The large Σ (the Greek letter sigma) represents the vector sum of all the forces, or the net force, acting on a body.  </h2><h2> </h2><h2>It is rather difficult to imagine applying a constant force to a body for an indefinite length of time. In most cases, forces can only be applied for a limited time, producing what is called impulse. For a massive body moving in an inertial reference frame without any other forces such as friction acting on it, a certain impulse will cause a certain change in its velocity. The body might speed up, slow down or change direction, after which, the body will continue moving at a new constant velocity (unless, of course, the impulse causes the body to stop). </h2><h2> </h2><h2>There is one situation, however, in which we do encounter a constant force — the force due to gravitational acceleration, which causes massive bodies to exert a downward force on the Earth. In this case, the constant acceleration due to gravity is written as g, and Newton's Second Law becomes F = mg. Notice that in this case, F and g are not conventionally written as vectors, because they are always pointing in the same direction, down. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>The product of mass times gravitational acceleration, mg, is known as weight, which is just another kind of force. Without gravity, a massive body has no weight, and without a massive body, gravity cannot produce a force. In order to overcome gravity and lift a massive body, you must produce an upward force ma that is greater than the downward gravitational force mg.  </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Newton's second law in action </h2><h2>Rockets traveling through space encompass all three of Newton's laws of motion. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>If the rocket needs to slow down, speed up, or change direction, a force is used to give it a push, typically coming from the engine. The amount of the force and the location where it is providing the push can change either or both the speed (the magnitude part of acceleration) and direction. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Now that we know how a massive body in an inertial reference frame behaves when it subjected to an outside force, such as how the engines creating the push maneuver the rocket, what happens to the body that is exerting that force? That situation is described by Newton’s Third Law of Motion.</h2><h2 />

Why do you think there are so many more autotrophs than consumers on Earth?<br> Helppp
goldfiish [28.3K]

There are many Autotrophs than consumers because : Autotrophs are the bases of any food chain/web

<h3>Function of Autotrophs </h3>

Autotrophs capture the energy required for every food chain or web from which sustains other organisms in the food chain form sunlight and chemicals. Also there is always more biomass present in the lower levels of the trophic system as biomass decreases as we move up the food chain.

Since autotrophs are producers, for a healthy food chain there would be more autotrophs than consumers.

Hence we can conclude that There are many Autotrophs than consumers because : Autotrophs are the bases of any food chain/web

We are trying to reduce the current time of 15s by 30% but this leads to an increase of 18% in the CPI. For each processor, what
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For reduction

Execution time = (instructions * CPI)/(Clock rate)

Since CPI is increased by 18%

18/100 +1 = 1.18

Therefore

P1 CPI = CPI x 1.18

P2 CPI = CPIx 1.18

P3 CPI = CPI x 1.18

Since clockrate reduces by 30% we have it to be a 0.7

P1: (Instructions x P1CPI) / 0.7

P2: (Instructionsx P2CPI) / 0.7

P3: (Instructions x P2CPI) /0 .7
