A 65-kg ice skater stands facing a wall with his arms bent and then pushes away from the wall by straightening his arms. At the

instant at which his fingers lose contact with the wall, his center of mass has moved 0.45m , and at this instant he is traveling at 3.0m/s .
A. What are the average force exerted by the wall on him?.
B. What are the work done by the wall on him?.
C. What are the change in the kinetic energy of his center of mass?

Answer:

A) F=650N

B) W=0J

C) \Delta K=292.5J

Explanation:

A) Considering the equation v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad, we can calculate:

F=ma=m\frac{v_f^2}{2d}=(65kg)\frac{(3m/s)^2}{2(0.45m)}=650N

B) The work the wall does is 0J, because the fingers of the scater against it do not move. It's the muscles on his arm that do the work.

C)\Delta K=K_f-K_i=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}=\frac{(65kg)(3m/s)^2}{2}-\frac{(65kg)(0m/s)^2}{2}=292.5J

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?
Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.

A small metal object is tied to the end of a string and whirled round a circular path of radius 30cm. The object makes 20 oscill
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is 25.133 rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is 7.54 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular path, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m

number of revolutions, n = 20

time of motion, t = 5 s

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

\omega = \frac{20 \ rev}{5 \ s} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = \frac{40\pi \ rad}{5 \ s} = 8\pi \ rad/s = 25.133 \ rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

v = \omega r\\\\v = 25.133 \ rad/s \ \times \ 0.3 \ m\\\\v = 7.54 \ m/s

Why does it take significantly stronger magnetic and electric field strengths to move the beam of alpha particles compared with
wlad13 [49]
It takes significantly stronger magnetic and electric field strengths to move a beam of alpha particles compared with the beam of electrons(betaparticles) because the charge of an alpha particle is twice stronger than a beta particle. Therefore, more energy is needed to move the alpha particle.
