A 60.0 kg ballet dancer stands on her toes during a performance with four square inches (26.0 cm2) in contact with the floor. Wh

at is the pressure exerted by the floor over the area of contact in the following cases?
(a) if the dancer is stationary
(b) if the dancer is leaping upwards with an acceleration of 5.00 m/s2

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Mass of dancer m=60\ kg

Area of contact A=26\ cm^2

(a)If dancer is stationary

Pressure exerted by Floor is given by load per unit area of contact

P=\frac{weight}{A}

P=\frac{mg}{A}

P=\frac{60\times 9.8}{26\times 10^{-4}}

P=226.153 kN

(b)If dancer is leaping upwards with an acceleration of a=5 m/s^2

So apparent weight of dancer is W'=mg+ma

W'=m(g+a)=60\cdot (9.8+5)

W'=888\ N

Pressure=\frac{W'}{A}

Pressure=\frac{888}{26\times 10^{-4}}

=341.53\ kN

topjm [15]

Answer:

\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}

So, the change in the potential energy is

\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin
Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}, where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

     W = \int_{0}^{0.54} F dx

         = \int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx

         = [14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}

         = 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

         = 7653.31 J

or,      = 7.65 kJ       (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.
