A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

44.0 N without breaking. What is the weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in (a) at constant speed and (b) with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.37 m/s2?

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg

a car takes 1 hour to travel 100 km along a main road and the half hour to travel 20 km along a side road what is its average sp
kolezko [41]
80 km per hour i believe. i’ll admit i’m american so we don’t use km lol, but the math should be the same. total distance = 120km, and total time = 1.5 hours. 120/1.5 = 80.

If the system is operated on mars, through what distance would the 18.0-kg mass have to fall to give the same amount of kinetic
-Dominant- [34]
The previous part of the exercise says:
"<span>Engineers are designing a system by which a falling mass m imparts kinetic energy to a rotating uniform drum to which it is attached by thin, very light wire wrapped around the rim of the drum. There is no appreciable friction in the axle of the drum, and everything starts from rest. This system is being tested on Earth, but it is to be used on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 m/s². In the Earth tests, when m is set to 18.0 kg and allowed to fall through 5.50 m, it gives 300.0 J of kinetic energy to the drum."

Since Kearth = Kmars, we have, for conservation of energy, that also the potential energies must be equal:
Uearth = Umars

which means:
m </span>· gearth · hearth = m · gmars <span>· hmars

we can solve for hmars:
hmars = (gearth / gmars) </span>· hearth
           = (9.8 / 3.71) · 5.50
           = 14.53m

Therefore, the correct answer will be: the mass would have to fall from an height of 14.53m.

You are towing a skier with a pwc and have an observer on board as required. how many people must the pwc be rated to carry
Lostsunrise [7]

When towing a skier with a personal water craft with an observer on board, the people in the personal water craft must only carry three to five people for there is only a limited space of people to be carried on board for it could cause conflict on board when there a lot of people of board.
