A makeshift swing is constructed by making a loop in one end of a rope and tying the other end to a tree limb. A child is sittin

g in the loop with the rope hanging vertically when the child's father pulls on the child with a horizontal force and displaces the child to one side. Just before the child is released from rest, the rope makes an angle of 19o with the vertical and the tension in the rope is 280 N. (a) How much does the child weigh? (b) What is the magnitude of the (horizontal) force of the father on the child just before the child is released? (c) If the maximum horizontal force the father can exert on the child is 97 N, what is the maximum angle with the vertical the rope can make while the father is pulling horizontally?

Answer:

a) 264.74 N

b) 91.15 N

c) 20.12°

Explanation:

Given:

Angle between the rope and the vertical, θ = 19°

Tension in the rope, T = 280 N

For the system to be in equilibrium,

The net force in vertical as well as in horizontal direction, should be zero

Therefore,

a) For Vertical direction

Weight of the child = vertical component of the tension

W = T cosθ ..............(1)

or

W = 280 cos19° = 264.74 N          ............(a)

b) For horizontal

force on the child, F = T sinθ  .............(2)

or

F = 280 sin19° = 91.15 N

c) Now, on dividing (1) and (2), we have

W/F = Tcosθ/Tsinθ

or

tanθ = F/W

now, for F = 97 N

tanθ = 97/264.74 = 0.3663        (W from (a))

or

θ = tan⁻¹(0.3663)

or

θ = 20.12°

A car starts out traveling at 35 m/s. The car hits the brakes and decelerates at a rate of 3 m/s^2 for 5 seconds. What Distance
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Answer:

Time needed: 2.5 s
Distance covered: 31.3 m

Explanation:

I'll start with the distance covered while decelerating. Since you know that the initial speed of the car is 15.0 m/s, and that its final speed must by 10.0 m/s, you can use the known acceleration to determine the distance covered by

v2f=v2i−2⋅a⋅d

Isolate d on one side of the equation and solve by plugging your values

d=v2i−v2f2a

d=(15.02−10.02)m2s−22⋅2.0ms−2

d=31.3 m

To get the time needed to reach this speed, i.e. 10.0 m/s, you can use the following equation

vf=vi−a⋅t, which will get you

t=vi−vfa

t=(15.0−10.0)ms2.0ms2=2.5 s

TRUE OR FALSE? earth revolves around the sun tilted on its axis
Alex777 [14]

The axis of the Earth's rotation is tilted relative to the plain of the Earth's revolution around the Sun.

The question is worded very poorly, but you'd have to say it's TRUE.

What are the physics terms behind watching TV?
GalinKa [24]
Everyone knows that one of their favorite past times is sitting in front of the television and watching movies, shows, or playing video games. However with this almost motionless, lazy activity comes a great deal of static physics and mechanics.

When you are sitting down enjoying whatever show it is you may be watching, you actually have several forces acting on you concurrently. For example, by sitting on the couch with no extra weight on you, your weight is equivalent to the normal force, or the force of the couch on you. In addition to the force of the couch of you, if you are leaning on an arm or laying down, a similar force acts on you, except at an angle or incline. The general rule for laying on the couch watching television is that whatever force you exert on an object, that object exerts the same force in the opposite direction, or 180 degrees around.
