For this case the centripetal force is given by:

F = m * (\frac{v^2}{r})

Where,

m: mass of the object

v: tangential speed

r: rope radius

Substituting values in the equation we have:

F = (4.0) * (\frac{1.8^2}{1.2})

Then, doing the corresponding calculations:

F = 10.8 N

Answer:

The centripetal force exerted on the rope is:

F = 10.8 N

A 6.00 cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 54.2 cm from a double convex lens
BigorU [14]

Answer:

1 / f = 1 / i + 1 / o       thin lens equation

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o    =    (o - f) / (o * f)

i = o * f / (o - f)

i = 54.2 * 12.7 / (54.2 - 12.7) = 16.6 cm    image distance

Image is real and inverted and 16.6 / 54.2 * 6 = 1.94 cm tall

A worker drives a 0.562 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.26 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 64.4 m/s
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of sledge hammer;

Mh =2.26 kg

Hammer speed;

Vh = 64.4 m/s

The expression fot the kinetic energy of the hammer is,

K.E(hammer) = ½Mh•Vh²

K.E(hammer) = ½ × 2.26 × 64.4²

K.E ( hammer) = 4686.52 J

If one forth of the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, then

ΔU = ¼ × K.E(hammer)

∆U = ¼ × 4686.52

∆U = 1171.63 J

Thus, the increase in total internal energy will be 1171.63 J.

A 70 ft rope hangs from a helicopter above this room. The rope has a mass per unit length of 2 lb/ft. In order to be rescued fro
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope  = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

                                         = 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs  + 140 lbs  

                                                                       = 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s²  x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²  = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

A heat pump absorbs heat from the atmosphere at a rate of 30 kW. If work is being done to run this heat pump at a rate of 7.7 kW
Volgvan

Answer:

Option D 3.9

Explanation:

First, you need to use the correct equation which is the following:

COP = Q/W

Where:

Q = heat absorbed

W = work done by the pump

COP = coefficient of perfomance

We have all the data, so, all you need to do is replace in the above expression and you shoould get the correct result:

COP = 30 / 7.7

COP = 3.896

This result you can round it to 3.9. option D.
