Adam uses a fixed pulley, such as the one shown below, to lift an object. Adam applies an input force to the pulley as he pulls

down to lift the object. As he does this, Adam wonders about how the pulley is helping him. How is the pulley helping Adam lift the object?

When Adam applies a ‘pull’ force on the pulley, there is an output force that the pulley lets out, directly pulling the object with it. We cannot always pull up objects with our bear hands, no matter how much force we apply. Which is why pulleys allow us to apply the force and pulleys do the work of pulling the objects for us, since work and force come hand in hand.

Sawyer launches his 180 kg raft on the Mississippi River by pushing on it with a force of 75N. How long must Sawyer push on the

Daniel [21]

Answer: 4.8 s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m=180 kg$ the mass of the raft

$F=75 N$ the force applied by Sawyer

$V=2 m/s$ the raft's final speed

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)

We have to find the time $t$

Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:

$F=m.a$ (1)

Where $a$ is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:

$a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}=\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}}$ (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

$F=m\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}}$ (3)

Where $t_{o}=0$

Isolating $t$ from (3):

$t=\frac{m(V-V_{o})}{F}$ (4)

$t=\frac{180 kg(2 m/s-0 m/s)}{75 N}$

Finally:

$t=4.8 s$

A lab cart with a mass of 15 kg is moving with constant velocity, v, along a straight horizontal track. A student drops a 2 kg m

lbvjy [14]

The equation $15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f}$ (option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.

The horizontal momentum is given by:

$p_{i} = p_{f}$

$m_{1}v_{1}_{i} + m_{2}v_{2}_{i} = m_{1}v_{1}_{f} + m_{2}v_{2}_{f}$

Where:

m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg

m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg

$v_{1}_{i}$ : is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>

$v_{2}_{i}$ : is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)

$v_{1}_{f}$ : is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>

$v_{2}_{f}$ : is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>

Then, the horizontal momentum is:

$15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = 15v_{1}_{f} + 2v_{2}_{f}$

When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:

$15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = v_{f}(15 + 2)$

Therefore, the equation $15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f}$ represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

wavelenght

Explanation:

The wavelength is the spatial period of a wave, analogous to the temporal period, it is the distance between two consecutive points with maximum amplitude that are repeated in space . In the waves of the sea, the wavelength is easily observed in the separation between two consecutive ridges.
