Answer:

B 14.5 m/s to the east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, if the system is isolated, the total momentum of the system must be conserved.

Here the total momentum before the stuntman reaches the skateboard is:

p_i = Mv

where

M = 72.0 kg is the mass of the stuntman

v = 15.0 m/s is his initial velocity (to the east)

The total momentum after the stuntmen reaches the skateboard is:

p_f = (M+m)v'

where

m = 2.50 kg is the mass of the skateboard

v' is the final velocity of the stuntman and the skateboard

Since momentum must be conserved, we have

p_i = p_f\\Mv=(M+m)v'

And solvign for v',

v'=\frac{Mv}{M+m}=\frac{(72.0)(15.0)}{(72.0+2.50)}=14.5 m/s

And since the sign is the same as v, the direction is the same (to the east).

an athlete whirls an 8.71 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.5 m chain in a simple horizontal circle where you should ignore any v
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

T = 692.42 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg

Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m

The angular sped of the hammer, \omega=1.16\ rev/s=7.28\ rad/s

We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :

F=m\omega^2r\\\\=8.71\times (7.28)^2\times 1.5\\\\=692.42\ N

So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.

URGENTE ¿Cuál de los siguientes términos corresponde al concepto presión? * A. Es la fuerza perpendicular que ejerce un cuerpo s
melomori [17]

Answer:

Respuesta correcta, opción D: Es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.

Explanation:

La definición de presión es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce en dirección perpendicular sobre el área en la que actúa.

Cuando se aplica una fuerza sobre la superficie de un cuerpo, la presión es la siguiente:

P = \frac{F}{A}

En donde:

F es la fuerza aplicada.

A es el área del cuerpo.  

Por lo tanto la opción correcta es la D: es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.

Espero que se sea de utilidad!
