T = 0.017 s

From the foot to the brain is almost the same as the height. We are not given the height of the woman, but to find "about" how much time, we need a height to work with.

She *could* be 1.7 m <- height = distance

Formula for speed, where k = speed, d = distance, t = time
k = d/t
Rearrange to solve for time:
t = d/k
Substitute known values:
t = (1.7 m) / (100 m/s)
Solve:
t = 0.017 s

Therefore, it takes about 0.017s for the impulse to travel from the foot to the brain.

Explain the scientific meaning of the word random
Semenov [28]

Explanation:

In general the word random means by chance. The event that occurs unknowingly rather than according to plan is called at its randomness.

But in science, the word random relates with a type of event that is described by its probability distribution.

Also, random means the entropy of the system i.e. it is a thermodynamic quantity that represents the amount of energy in the system that is unavailable for doing work.

I need help please someone !!!!! Would appreciate it
babymother [125]

Answer:

Yes, it would make it back up.

Explanation:

If it has 100,000 Joules of gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, by the time the cart gets to the bottom, it will become PE = 0, KE = 90,000 since 10% of 100,000 is 10,000. The cart only requires 80,000J to climb back up so it should easily do so.

I didn't quite understand if the 10% energy loss is total, or every time it goes up or down, but it isn't a problem because 10% of 90,000 is 9,000, which means it would have 81,000J of energy on the way back up IF it loses energy due to friction on the way back up also.

The only physical law you need to prove this is the Law of Conservation of Energy: no energy is lost, only transformed; 10% of the energy becomes heat, the rest remains mechanical energy, which is the reason why the reasoning above works.

The 60 kg man in the bosun's chair exerts a pull of 363 n on the rope for a short interval. Find his acceleration in m/s2. Negle
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The acceleration when a 60 kg man in bosun's chair exerts a pull, is -3.76 m/s².

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity.

Given the mass of man m= 60 kg and pull = 363N

According to the equilibrium conditions, 3T -mg =ma

The pull is equal to the tension 3T =363 N

Substituting the values, we get

363N - 60x 9.81 = 60a

a =-3.76m/s²

Thus, the acceleration is -3.76m/s².
