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.

Russia shut off the nord stream pipeline that supplies which nation with natural gas?.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Russia shut off the Nord Stream pipeline that supplies natural gas to Germany.

What is the Nord Stream pipeline?

A pair of offshore natural gas pipeline systems in Europe called Nord Stream cross the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. It consists of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, both of which originate in northwest Russia, near Finland, in Vyborg and Ust-Luga, respectively. Both pipelines travel to Lubmin in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state of northeastern Germany.

Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, certification for Nord Stream 2 has been rejected. When referring to a larger network of pipelines, such as the feeding onshore pipeline in Russia and additional connections in Western Europe, the term "Nord Stream" is sometimes used.

Nord Stream joins the NEL pipeline to Rehden near Bremen in northwestern Germany and the OPAL pipeline to Olbernhau in eastern Germany at the Czech border in Lubmin.

Thus, the Nord Stream pipeline supplies natural gas to Germany.

A 5 kg block is being pushed horizontally across a level surface at a constant velocity. What is the magnitude of the Normal for
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} F_N = F_g & = ma \\ & = mg\end{aligned}

The mass of the block is 5 kg and the given force due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle F_N = F_g = (5\text{ kg})(10 \text{ N/kg}) = 50 \text{ N}

In conclusion, the normal force acting on the block is 50 N.

Free runners jump long distances and land on the ground or a wall. How do they apply Newton’s second law to lessen the force of
Veseljchak [2.6K]

As we know that as per Newton's II law we have

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

here we will have

dP = change in momentum

dt = time interval in which momentum is changed

now in order to have least injury during jumping we need to have least force on the jumper

so in order to have least force we can say that the momentum must have to change in maximum time so that amount of force must be least

So we need to increase the time in which momentum of the system is changed

In 8.4 s a fisherman winds 2.9 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation)
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The angular speed of the reel is 11.33 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

The fisherman takes t = 8.4 s to wind distance x = 2.9 m into a circle radius of r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Than the tangencial speed equals the change in the distance to the time

v = \frac{x}{t} = \frac{2.9 m}{8.4 s} = 0.34 \frac{m}{s}

Knowing the tangencial velocity is proportional to the radius r and the angular velocity

v = r*w

w = \frac{0.34 m/s}{0.03 m} = 11.33 \frac{rad}{s}
