What is the gravitational force on a 35.0 kg object standing on the Earth's surface?

A 79 kg person sits on a 3.7 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.3 cm in diameter

vampirchik [111]

I'll assume that the chair has four legs.

Since the chair weights 3.7 kg by itself, it will weigh (79+3.7)=82.7 kg with the person sitting on it. And each of the chair's legs will take about (82.7/4)=20.675 kg.

Each leg touches the floor in a circle with 1.3cm diameter. The area of that circle is about (3.14*(1.3/2)^2)=1.327 cm^2.

Pressure is measured by force per area. So, the pressure from each leg is about 20.675kg / 1.327cm^2. That simplifies to 15.58 kg/cm^2.

Explain the necessity of smoothing the output voltage before applying it to a transistor

ra1l [238]

In simple words, smoothing can be defined as the circuit which is done to eliminate the ripple from the yield of a direct current power supply.

Explanation:

Necessity of smoothing:

Smoothing can be also applied in the form of a capacitor that acts to decrease or level out variations in a signal. And these capacitors are mostly used after power supply in voltage.
The yield DC voltage of a half-wave rectifier provided in the figure of a sinusoidal wave.
In a method to provide a constant DC voltage from a corrected AC source, a filter or smoothing circuit is required.

Between which two points did they travel fastest?

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

During the section CD , the speed is fastest.

Explanation:

The rate of change of distance is called speed.

Speed = distance / time

Its SI unit ism/s. It is a scalar quantity.

The slope of the distance time graph is given by the speed of the object.

Here, the speed of AB is 30/3= 10 m/s .

The speed of BC is = 0 m/s

The speed of CD is (50 - 30)/(6 - 5) = 20 m/s

So, the speed is maximum during the section CD.

You are an industrial engineer with a shipping company. As part of the package- handling system, a small box with mass 1.60 kg i

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

v = 0.84m/s, v(max)= 0.997m/s

Explanation:

Initial work done by the spring, where c is the compression = 0.28m:

$W_s = \frac{1}{2}kc^2$

Work lost to friction:

$W_f =\mu mg(c-x)$

Energy:

$E = W_s-W_f=\frac{1}{2}kc^2 -\mu mg(c-x)=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

(a) Solve for v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(c^2-x^2)-2\mu g(c-x)}$

(b) Solve $\frac{dv}{dx}=0$ for x:

$\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{\mu g-\frac{k}{m}x}{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(c^2-x^2)-2\mu g(c-x)}}$

$\frac{dv}{dx}=0$ if:

$\mu g-\frac{k}{m}x = 0$

$x_{max} = \frac{\mu gm}{k}$

$v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}c^2-2\mu gc+(\mu g)^2\frac{m}{k}}$

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The matter does not move in solid state but vibrates.

Explanation:

The atoms inside the matter cannot move or shift their positions without any external force but makes some small vibration movements. Generally in solids, the particles are bound by the attractive forces acting in between the atoms inside the matter.

The small vibrations that are happening inside the matter are because of the external factors like temperature. The increase in temperature raises the kinetic energy of the atoms inside and makes them move faster and this results in the vibration of the matter.
