An input for of 80 N is used to lift an object weighing 240 N with a system of pulleys. How far must the rope around the pulleys

be pulled in order to lift the object a distance of 1.4 m?

Answer:

4.2 m

Explanation:

Note: If energy is conserved, i.e no work is done against friction

Work input = work output.

Work output = Force output × distance,

Work input = force input × distance moved moved.

Therefore,

input force×distance moved = output force × distance moved........................Equation 1

Given: input force = 80 N, output force = 240 N, output distance = 1.4 m

Let input distance = d

Substitute into equation 1

80×d = 240×1.4

80d = 336

d = 336/80

d = 4.2 m.

Thus the rope around the pulley must be pulled 4.2 m

Biologists think that some spiders "tune" strands of their web to give enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those a

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter $d=20 \mu m$

density $\rho =1300 kg/m^3$

frequency $\nu =150 Hz$

Length of silk strand $L=14 cm$

Velocity in the string is as follows

$\nu =\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}$

The expression for Fundamental Frequency

$f=\frac{\nu }{2l}$

$f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}$

$f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{m}{l}}}$

$f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{Tl}{\rho V}}$

Squaring

$f^2=\frac{1}{4l^2}\times \frac{Tl}{\rho V}$

$T=4\rho \cdot A\cdot l^2\cdot f^2$

$T=4\times 1300\times \frac{\pi }{4}(20\times 10^{-6})^2\times (0.14)^2\times 150^2$

$T=7.2\times 10^{-4} N$

In zoes egg experiment which two forces are balanced to keep it from hitting the pan

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The forces of push and pull

Explanation:

In the egg drop experiment, the egg is balanced on top of a toilet paper tube and balanced on a pan. The pan itself is placed on top of a glass of water. When the experimenter uses his hands to push the pan, the force of gravity pulls the egg downwards making it move down, right into the glass of water.

So the two forces which are applied in opposite directions are;

1. The force of push applied horizontally by the hand when it pushes the pan away, and

2. The force of pull caused by gravity which makes the egg move vertically downwards.

A brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of a building. The brick strikes the ground in 1.90 s. You may ignore air

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Height of building = 17.69m, velocity of brick = 18.6m/s

Explanation: From the question, the body has a zero initial speed, thus initial velocity (u) all through the motion is zero.

By ignoring air resistance makes it a free fall motion thus making it to accelerate constantly with a value of $a = 9.8m/s^{2}$ .

Time taken to fall = 1.90s

a)

thus the height of the building is calculated using the formulae below

$H = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^{2}$

but u = 0 , hence

$H = \frac{1}{2} gt^{2}$

$H = \frac{1}{2} *9.8* 1.9^{2} \\\\H = 17.69m$

b)

to get the value of velocity (v) as the brick hits the ground, we use the formulae below

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aH$

but u= 0, hence

$v^{2} = 2gH\\$

$v^{2} = 2 * 9.8 * 17.69\\v = \sqrt{2 *9.8* 17.69} \\v = 18.62m/s$
