Two rock climbers, bill and karen, use safety ropes of similar length. karen's rope is more elastic, called a dynamic rope by cl

imbers. bill has a static rope, not recommended for safety purposes in pro climbing. karen falls freely about 2.0 m and then the rope stops her over a distance of 0.9 m.

Answer:

The answer is 2.8 times.

Explanation:

Speed ​​needs to be calculated when Karen completes the 2.0m drop, using the following equation:

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2gd = 0^2 + 2*9.81 m/s^2 * 2.0 m = 39.24 m^2/s^2 => V = 6.26 m/s

From there, the rope has a net force which causes a constant acceleration, which can be calculated according to the equation:

Vo = 6.26 m/s

Vf = 0

Vf^2 = Vo^2 + 2ad => a = [Vf^2 - Vo^2]/2d = [0^2 - (6.26 m/s)^2]/2*(0.9m) = -17.63 m/s^2

That acceleration is due to the difference between the force exerted by the rope and Karen's weight:

Karen's weight = mg

Karen's Weight - String Force = Net Force = ma

mg - chord force = ma

String strength = mg - ma = m (g -a) = m [9.81 m/s^2 - (-17.63m/s^2)] = 27.44m

Dividing by weight:

 27.44m/9.81m = 2.79 = 2.8 times

The answer is three times.

What is the minimal mass of helium (density 0.18 kg/m3) needed to lift a balloon carrying two people in a basket, if the total m
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:   
 M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b] 
 Î”R is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon. 
 R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.   
 ==================================== 
 Let V be the volume of helium required. 
 Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V   
 U = 1.225gV newtons 
 ---- 
 Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g 
 W[h] = 0.18gV N   
 Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N  -----

 
 Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N 
 Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7 
 So minimal F would be 2549.7 
 ---- 
 1.045gV = 2549.7 
 V = 248.8 m^3   
 Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)   
 =====   
 Let the density of the surroundings be R 
 Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV   
 So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N 
 V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg   
 Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3 
 Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg   
 Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so   
 M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)   
 M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]

An object, initially at rest, is subject to an acceleration of 34 m/s2. How long will it take for that
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

If it is moving 34 m/s it will take 100 seconds, or 1:40 to reach 3400 meters.

Explanation:

I found this answer by dividing 3400 by 34 and converting seconds to minutes

Scientists have concluded that Earth is at risk of future impacts with meteoroids. What are some criteria that engineers conside
Aleksandr [31]
Answer:
Explain step by step
Explanation:
Collisions with asteroids, comets and other stuff from space have been responsible for huge landmarks in our planet’s history: global shifts in climate, the creation of our moon, the reshuffling of our deepest geology, and the extinction of species.

Asteroid threats pop up in the news every now and then, but the buzz tends to fizzle away as the projectiles pass us by. Other times, as with the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia, we don’t know they’re here until they’re here.
Perhaps most useful to remember is that when near-Earth objects (including asteroids, comets and meteoroids) enter the atmosphere, they’re called meteors; and if there’s anything left when they hit the ground, the resulting object is called a meteorite. We tend to focus on asteroids when talking about potential collisions, because they’re more likely to hit us than other stuff like comets, but still big enough to pose a threat.
