As a freely falling object picks up downward speed, what happens to the power supplied by the gravitational force?

Physics

vitfil [10]3 years ago

We will start from the definition of power in terms of the Force. Power could be described as the change of energy in an instant of time. Considering that Energy is the product between the Force and the distance traveled we would arrive at the expression

P = \frac{E}{t}

P = \frac{F*h}{t}

Here,

F = Force

h = Height

t = Time

As there is no external force, apart from the force of gravity, and this, is constant during the course of the object we will also have to be constant power and therefore this during its course will be the same. The correct answer is (1)

A person has legs of length L = 1.10 m. (a) If the maximum angle between the legs during walking is ϕ = 50o , what is the person
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a). Maximum Length L=0.929m

b). T=0.83 Hz or 1.2s

c). Longer, the effortless waling T=2.1 Hz or t=0.475s

d). t=1.2s V=0.774 \frac{m}{s}

t=0.475s V=1.95 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Length legs=L=1.1m

angle=50

the step that give the person forms a triangle whose two sides are known and the angle that forms between them, then using trigonometry as the image

Divide the original triangle in two and form a right triangle so the angle is 25 and the L is hypotenuse and the opposite is the step length

a).

sin(\alpha) =\frac{op}{h}

op=h*sin(\frac{\alpha }{2})\\ op=1.1m*sin(\frac{50}{2})\\op=0.464m

Length of the step

L=0.464m*2

L=0.928m

b).

period=T

T=\frac{1}{time}=\frac{1}{t}\\ T=\frac{1}{1.2s}\\T=0.83 s^{-1}\\ T=0.83Hz

c).

T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{1.1m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}\\ T1=2.1 Hz

The period is the inverse of the time of the motion so, the T1 is faster that the T because

t=\frac{1}{T1}=t= \frac{1}{2.1}=0.47s

d).

The speed is the relation between the distance with time so:

Vt=\frac{0.928m}{1.2s} \\Vt=0.773 \frac{m}{s} \\Vt=\frac{0.928m}{0.475s} \\Vt=1.953 \frac{m}{s}

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work
aksik [14]
It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
F=k_e  \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a

  F  =326.7 \ N

b

  M  = 6

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

          The mass of the rock is  m_r  =  200 \ kg

          The  length of the small object from the rock is  d  =  2 \ m

          The  length of the small object from the branch l  =  12 \ m

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The  force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

      W =  m_r *  g

substituting values

     W =   200 *  9.8

     W =   1960 \ N

 So  at  equilibrium the sum  of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

         \sum  M_f  =  F * cos \theta *  l  -  W cos\theta  *  d =  0

Here  \theta is very small so  cos\theta  *  l  =  l

                               and  cos\theta  *  d  =  d

Hence

       F *   l  -  W  * d =  0

=>    F  = \frac{W * d}{l}

substituting values

        F  = \frac{1960 *  2}{12}

       F  =326.7 \ N

The  mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

          M  = \frac{W}{F}

substituting values

        M  = \frac{1960}{326.7}

       M  = 6
