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

The vertical displacement of the wave is measured from the ?
sergey [27]
The whole question is talking about the amplitude of a wave
that's transverse and wiggling vertically.

Equilibrium to the crest . . . that's the amplitude.

Crest to trough . . . that's double the amplitude.

Trough to trough . . . How did that get in here ?  Yes, that's
                               the wavelength, but it has nothing to do
                               with vertical displacement.

Frequency . . . that's how many complete waves pass a mark
                       on the ground every second.  Doesn't belong here.

Notice that this has to be a transverse wave.  If it's a longitudinal wave,
like sound or a slinky, then it may not have any displacement at all
across the direction it's moving.

It also has to be a vertically 'polarized' wave.  If it's wiggling across
the direction it's traveling BUT it's wiggling side-to-side, then it has
no vertical displacement.  It still has an amplitude, but the amplitude
is all horizontal.

According to the chart, one gram of copper and
ad-work [718]

Answer:

C) three

Explanation:

Let gram of gold required be m . Let temperature change in both be Δ t .

heat absorbed = mass x specific heat x change in temperature

for copper

heat absorbed = 1 x .385 x Δt

for gold

heat absorbed = m x .129 x Δt

So

m x .129 x Δt = 1 x .385 x Δt

m = 2.98

= 3 g approximately .

Design a solution that can monitor and minimize the melting of sea ice caused by human activity
dedylja [7]

Answer:

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning should be minimized at all cost. The CO2 are gotten when the carbons from hydrocarbons react with air(oxygen). This gas erodes the ozone layer which makes the melting of ice caps faster due to increased amount of heat radiations on the earth. This is the only best and permanent solution to the reduction of the amount of heat rays on the earth which is a global problem.

Objects which reflects back the sunrays could also be inserted into the sea to prevent the melting of the ice caps.
