Consider a girl that has a mass of 55.0 kg and is standing on the floor, how much supporting force does the floor have?

-- The girl's mass is 55 kg.

-- Her weight is (m·g) = (55 kg)·(9.8 m/s²) = 539 N .

-- The downward force on the bottom layer of atoms on the soles of her shoes is 539 N.

-- The 'supporting' force of the floor on those same atoms must be <em>EXACTLY 539 N upward</em>, resulting in a NET force of zero.

-- If the upward force of the floor is not exactly equal to her weight, then the NET force on the bottom of her feet is not zero, and the bottom of her feet must be accelerating, either up or down.  

In order for the bottom of her feet to remain connected to the rest of her, the entire girl must likewise be accelerating vertically.

If she is NOT, then we know that the net force on the bottom of her feet is zero, and the upward supporting force of the floor must be exactly equal to her weight.

We could have realized this immediately if we trusted Newton, who told us long ago that every action produces an <u><em>equal and opposite</em></u> reaction.

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is  8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]

The formula $F = \frac{9}{5} C + 32$ can be used to convert temperatures between degrees Fahrenheit ($F$) and degrees Celsius ($
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

-30° C

Explanation:

Data provided in the problem:

The formula for conversion as:

F  = (9/5)C + 32

Now,

for the values of F = -22 , C = ?

Substituting the value of F in the above formula, we get

-22 = (9/5)C + 32

or

-22 - 32 = (9/5)C

or

(9/5)C = - 54

or

C = - 54 × (5/9)

or

C = - 30 °

Hence, -22 Fahrenheit equals to -30°C

A 0.5 kg mass on a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion with a total mechanical energy of 12 J. If the oscillation amplitude
Darya [45]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillation is 2.45 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 0.5 kg

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 12 J

Determine the spring constant, k as follows;

E = ¹/₂kA²

kA² = 2E

k = (2E) / (A²)

k = (2 x 12) / (0.45²)

k = 118.519 N/m

Determine the angular frequency, ω;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega =  \sqrt{\frac{118.519}{0.5} } \\\\\omega = 15.396 \ rad/s

Determine the frequency of the oscillation;

ω = 2πf

f = (ω) / (2π)

f = (15.396) / (2π)

f = 2.45 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the oscillation is 2.45 Hz.
