It doesn't matter what direction she travels, or how far, or whether she uses the same road in both directions.

If she ends up at the same place she started from, then her displacement for the ride is <em>zero</em>.

Damm [24]

Answer:

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

Explanation:

We are given;

h2 = 30m

h1 = 20m

Density; ρ = 1000 kg/m³

First of all, we know that the sum of the pressures in the tank and the pump is equal to that of the Nozzle,

Thus, it can be expressed as;

P_(tank)+ P_(pump) = P_(nozzle)

Now, the pressure would be given by;

P = ρgh

So,

ρgh_1 + P_(pump) = ρgh_2

Thus,

P_(pump) = ρg(h_2 - h_1)

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

P_(pump) = 1000•9.8(30 - 20)

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

A 174 pound Jimmy Cheek is riding on a 54 ft diameter Ferris Wheel. The normal force on Jimmy Cheek is 146 pounds when Jimmy is

Veronika [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of Forces, the centripetal Force and Newton's second law.

I will also attach a free body diagram that allows a better understanding of the problem.

For there to be a balance between weight and normal strength, these two must be equivalent to the centripetal Force, therefore

$F_c = W-N$

$m\omega^2r = W-N$

Here,

m = Net mass

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

r = Radius

W = Weight

N = Normal Force

$m\omega^2r = 174-146$

The net mass is equivalent to

$F = mg \rightarrow m = \frac{F}{g}$

Then,

$m = \frac{174lb}{32.17ft/s^2}$

Replacing we have then,

$(\frac{174lb}{32.17ft/s^2})\omega^2 (54ft) =174lb-146lb$

Solving to find the angular velocity we have,

$\omega = 0.309rad/s$

Therefore the angular velocity is 0.309rad/s

A single conservative force Fx = (6.0x  12) N (x is in m) acts on a particle moving along the x axis. The potential energy asso

jasenka [17]

Answer:

$U(3)=-43J$

Explanation:

Potential energy is minus the integral of Fdx. Doing the integration yields:

$U=\int\limits {6.0x+12}\, dx$

$U=-3x^2-12x+C$

$U(0)=20J$

$U(0)=-3(0)^2+12(0)+C=20$

$C=20$

Now for x=3.0m

$U(3)=-3*(3)^2-12(3)+20$

$U(3)=-43J$

What engine thrust is required for a rocket of mass 35 kg to leave the launching pad? 3.5 N. 35 N. 351 N. 3,500 N. 35,000 N.

soldi70 [24.7K]

In order for the object to move upward, it needs an upward force
that's at least equal to its own weight.

Weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (35 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 343 N.

The engine thrust has to be more than 343 N.
