A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "42.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

42.0 N without breaking. What is the weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in (a) at constant speed and (b) with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s2?

Answer:

(a) 42 N

(b)36.7 N

Explanation:

Nomenclature

F= force test line (N)

W : fish weight  (N)

Problem development

(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed

We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:

∑Fy =0

F-W= 0

42N -W =0  

W = 42N

(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²

We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:

 m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

∑Fy =m*a

m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a

42-W=  ( W/9.8 )*1.41

42= W+0.1439W

42=1.1439W

W= 42/1.1439

W= 36.7  N

A particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a ra
blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

y=\sqrt{1+x^3}

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

Now at (2,3)

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s

A football player who weighs 550 N stands indoors wearing her football boots. The boot’s
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

183333 Pa

Explanation:

The weight of the football player is : 550 N ,thus the force the player exerts on the floor is 550 N

The area of blades in contact with the floor is = 30cm² = 0.003 m²

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure = 550 / 0.003

Pressure = 183333 Pa

Circular Motion A 650-kg car moving at 8.5 m/s takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 48.0 m. Determine the acceleration
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the car doesn't matter because On a flat curve the mass of the car does not affect the speed at which it can stay on the curve. You would need the mass if you were solving the the centripetal force acting on the car, but not the acceleration.

a=\frac{v^2}{r} and filling in

a=\frac{(8.5)^2}{48.0} and we need 2 significant digits in our answer. That means that

a = 1.5 m/sec²
