Because the floor exerts an upward normal force on you, equal but opposite to the downward force of gravity.

A kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward what is the distance and magnitu

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Distance = 64 metres

Displacement = 28 metres

Direction = northward

Explanation:

Given that a kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward

Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.

Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres

The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement

Let northward be positive and southward be negative

Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres

Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.

(20 points) You are at the center of a boat and have been rowing the boat for a long time. You weigh only 80 kg and your 120 kg

valina [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the first weight be $m_ 1$ = 80 kg

The weight of the buddy be $m_2$ = 120 kg

The weight of Bubba be $m_3$ = 60 kg

Also, since you and Budda are a distance of 4m to each other, then the length to which both meet buddy will be:

$x_1 = x_3 = \dfrac{4}{2} \\ \\ = 2$

The length of the boat be $x_2$ = 4 m

∴

We can find the center of mass of the system by using the formula:

$X_{CM} = \dfrac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2+m_3x_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{(80 \times 2)+(120\times4)+(60\times2)}{80+120+60} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{160+480+120}{260} \\ \\ \mathbf{X_{CM} = 2.923}$

A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which

abruzzese [7]

Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K

A fire helicopter carries a 700-kg bucket of water at the end of a 20.0-m long cable. Flying back from a fire at a constant spee

rodikova [14]

Answer:

F = 50636.873 N

Explanation:

given,

bucket of water = 700-kg

length of cable = 20 m

Speed = 40 m/s

angle of the cable = 38.0°

let air resistance be = F

tension in rope be = T

T cos 38° = m×g..................(1)

$T sin 38^0= \dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F$ ..........(2)

equation (1)/(2)

$tan 38^0 =\dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F}{mg}$

$0.781=\dfrac{\dfrac{700\times 40^2}{20} + F}{700\times 9.8}$

F = 50636.873 N

Hence the force exerted on the bucket is equal to F = 50636.873 N
