Two equal forces are applied to a door. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; the second force is applied at t

he doorknob. Both forces are applied perpendicular to the door. Which force exerts the greater torque?

Answer: The second force applied to the doorknob

Explanation:

The formulae for torque is simple the product of the applied force and the perpendicular distance.

The greater the perpendicular force, the greater the torque assuming a constant value of force.

Applying the force at the doorknob gives for a greater distance between the force and the turning point compared to applying the force at the midpoint of the door ( which is at a shorter distance)

A 65.0-kg woman steps off a 10.0-m diving platform and drops straight down into the water. 1) If she reaches a depth of 3.20 m,
timurjin [86]

Answer:

F=2627.6N

Explanation:

The work done by this resistive force while traveling a distance <em>d</em> underwater would be:

W=F.d=-Fd

where the minus sign appears because the force is upwards and the displacement downwards.

This work is equal to the change of mechanical energy. At the diving plataform and underwater, when she stops moving, the woman has no kinetic energy, so all can be written in terms of her total change of gravitational potential energy:

W=\Delta E=U_f-U_i=mgh_f-mgh_i=mg(h_f-h_i)

Putting all together:

F=-\frac{W}{d}=-\frac{mg(h_f-h_i)}{d}=-\frac{(65kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-3.2m-10m)}{3.2m}=2627.6N

e-lub [12.9K]

Assume a maximum stopping acceleration of g/2 where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

2.99 m/s

Explanation:

Stopping distance, s = 3 ft = 0.914 m

final velocity, v = 0

a = g/2 = 4.9 m/s²

Use third equation of motion:

v^2-u^2 = 2as

substitute the values to find the speed of train:

0 -u^2 = 2\times -4.9 \times 0.914 \\u^2=8.96 \\u=2.99 m/s
