A mouse spots an owl flying 10.1 feet over a nearby bush. The mouse is 30 feet away from the bush, and it sees the owl at a cert

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

fly is at height of $h=10.1\ ft$

mouse is at a distance of 30 ft from bush

if $\theta$ is the angle of elevation then

using trigonometric relation

$\tan \theta =\frac{h}{x}$

$\tan \theta =\frac{10.1}{30}$

$\theta =tan^{-1}(\frac{10.1}{30})$

$\theta =18.57^{\circ}$

A factory worker pushes a 32.0 kg crate a distance of 7.0 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on

g100num [7]

Answer:

(a) 81.54 N

(b) 570.75 J

(c) - 570.75 J

(d) 0 J, 0 J

(e) 0 J

Explanation:

mass of crate, m = 32 kg

distance, s = 7 m

coefficient of friction = 0.26

(a) As it is moving with constant velocity so the force applied is equal to the friction force.

F = 0.26 x m x g = 0.26 x 32 x 9.8 = 81.54 N

(b) The work done on the crate

W = F x s = 81.54 x 7 = 570.75 J

(c) Work done by the friction

W' = - W = - 570.75 J

(d) Work done by the normal force

W'' = m g cos 90 = 0 J

Work done by the gravity

Wg = m g cos 90 = 0 J

(e) The total work done is

Wnet = W + W' + W'' + Wg = 570.75 - 570.75 + 0 = 0 J

A professional golfer hits a golf ball of mass 46 g with her 5-iron, and the ball first strikes the ground 155 m away. The ball

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 46 g = 0.046 kg

Terminal speed of the ball, v = 44 m/s

The drag force, $F_r=Cv^2$

Where, C is the drag coefficient. At terminal speed, the weight of the ball is balanced by the drag force.

$Cv^2=mg$

$C=\dfrac{mg}{v^2}$

$C=\dfrac{0.046\times 9.8}{(44)^2}$

$C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a hill 15 m high and rolls down to ground level. From there it starts into a

Softa [21]

Answer:

955.5N

Explanation:

The normal force is given by the difference between the centripetal force and gravity at the top of the loop:

$F_N = F_C - F_G = m\frac{v^{2} }{r} - mg$

mass m = 65kg

radius of the loop r = 4m

velocity v = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

To find the centripetal force, you need to find the velocity of the car at the top of the loop.

Use energy conservation:

$E_{tot}=mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

At the top of the hill:

$E_{tot}= mgh_{hill}$

At the top of the loop:

$E_{tot}=mgh_{loo}_p +\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Setting both energies equal and canceling the mass m gives:

$gh_{hill} = gh_{loo}_p + \frac{1}{2} v^{2}$

Solving for v:

$v^{2} = 2g(h_{hill}-h_{loo}_p)$

Using v in the first equation:

$F_N = \frac{2mg(h_{hill}-h_{loo}_p)}{r} - mg$

$F_N = 955.5N$

What is true about resistance? Check all that apply. A. It is the excess accumulation of electric charge B. It is measured in oh

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

B, C and E

Explanation:

The unit of resistance in the international system is the Ohm, the equation that describes the resistance is:

$R=p\frac{l}{S} \\$

Where (l) is for lenght of the wire, (S) is the area and (p) its the constant associated to the conductor.

It's related by the Ohm's Law:

$R=\frac{V}{I}$
