Answer:

The pulling force that should the man apply to create an upward acceleration is 141.6 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law can be stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Newton's Second law can be expressed in the following formula:

F=m*a

Where:

<em>F=</em>Force

<em>m</em>=mass

<em>a</em>= acelleration

Then, we replace given values in the formula to know the force:

F=118Kg*1.20\frac{m}{s^{2} } \\F=141.6 N

attashe74 [19]

Answer: current I = 0.5 A

Explanation:

Given that the

Potential difference V = 10V

Resistance R = 20 ohms

According to ohms law

V = IR

Where

V = potential difference

I = current

R = resistance

Make I the subject of formula

I = V/R

I = 10/20

I = 0.5 Ampere

A student tosses a ball horizontally from a balcony to a friend 3.8 meters down below them. How long does the ball take to reach
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is approximately 0.88 seconds

Explanation:

The height from which the student tosses the ball to a friend, h = 3.8 meters above the friend

The direction in which the student tosses the ball = The horizontal direction

Given that the ball is tossed in the horizontal direction, and not the vertical direction, the initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = 0

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball can therefore, be represented by the free fall equation as follows;

h = 1/2 × g × t²

Where;

g = The acceleration due gravity of the ball = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion to cover height, h

Then height is already given as h = 3.8 m

Substituting gives;

3.8 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 3.8/(1/2 × 9.81) ≈ 0.775 s²

∴ t = √0.775 ≈ 0.88 seconds

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is t ≈ 0.88 seconds.

At a height of ten meters above the surface of a freshwater lake, a sound pulse is generated. The echo from the bottom of the la
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of sound in air at 20 degree = 343 m/s

Velocity of sound in water at 20 degree = 1470 m/s

Time taken in to and fro movement in air

=( 2 x 10) / 343 = 0.0583 s

Rest of the time  is

.171 - .0583 = .1127 s

This time is taken to cover distance in water. If d be the depth of lake

2d / velocity = time taken

2 d / 1470 = .1127

d = 82.83 m
