Finding the work done in pulling a stranded climber to safety. In an unfortunate accident, a rock climber finds herself stuck 17

m from the top of a 80 m rock face. Rescuers sent to help the climber lower a harness attached to a cable that will pull the climber to the top of the rock face. If the climber, secured in the harness, weighs 56 kg and the cable weighs 0.7kgm, how much work is done in raising the climber, harness, and cable to the top of the rock face? Note: the weight of the climber and cable is really a mass so you will need to multiply the mass in kg by the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8ms2).

Answer:

-9446.22 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of climber and harness = 56kg

Mass of cable = 0.7kg

Distance between climber and top of rock face = 17m

The work done in pulling the climber is given as:

W = F * d

F is the force applied on the rope. It is opposite the force of gravity pulling the climber, hence, it is given as:

F = -Fg

Fg = force of gravity

Fg = m * g

g = acceleration due to gravity.

The mass of the climber, harness and cable = 56 + 0.7 = 56.7kg

=> Fg = 56.7 * 9.8

Fg = 555.66 N

Therefore, the work done will be:

W = - 555.66 * 17

W = -9446.22 J

The negative value of work means that the work done is opposite the value of the force acting on the climber.

Korolek [52]

<em>1</em><em>.</em><em>259ms^2</em>

Explanation:

since, WORK DONE = FORCE*DISTANCE

AND, FORCE=MASS*ACCELERATION

SO, THE WORK DONE BECOMES=MASS*ACCELERATION*DISTANCE

ACCELERATION=WORK/(MASS*DISTANCE)

AND, WORK=686J

MASS=227kg

DISTANCE=2.4m

THEREFORE, ACCELERATION=686/(227*2.4)

=686/544.8

=1.259ms^2

A 2000 kg truck is traveling at 5 m/s and collides with a 1000 kg car that is not moving. After the collision, the 2000 truck st
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

A) 10 m/s

Explanation:

We know that according to conservation of momentum,

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u1 + m2u2  ..............(equation 1)

where m1 and m2 are masses of two bodies, v1 and v2 are initial velocity before collision and u1 and u2 are final velocities after collision respectively.

From the given data

If truck and car are two bodies

truck :       m1 = 2000 Kg           v1 = 5 m/s                u1 = 0

car    :        m2 = 1000 kg           v2 = 0                      u2 = ?

final velocity of truck and initial velocity of car are static because the objects were at rest in the respective time.

substituting the values in equation 1, we get

(2000 x 5) + 0 = 0 + (1000 x u2)

u2 = \frac{2000}{1000} x 5

    = 10 m/s

Hence after collision, car moves at a velocity of 10 m/s

Includes the speed of an object and the direction of its motion
Yanka [14]

Question

what Includes the speed of an object and the direction of its motion

Answer:

Hi, There!

Im 100% Sure your Answer is Velocity! Velocity is a measure of how fast something moves in a particular direction. To define it needs both magnitude and direction.

Hope this helps!!
