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.

Estimate the acceleration you subject yourself to if you walk into a brick wall at normal walking speed. (Make a reasonable esti
xenn [34]

Answer:

From certain assumptions that the walking speed is 2 m/s, and the stop time is 0.1 s the acceleration would be -20 m/s

Explanation:

Using the average acceleration formula:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} where \Delta v and \Delta t are the changes in the speed and time respectively.

We have by assuming that the walking speed is 2 m/s and the stop time is 0.1s which is equal to the change in time during the stopping.

\Delta v=v_f-v_i=0-2 m/s=-2 m/s, where v_i,v_f are the initial speed and final speed respectively, and \Delta t=0.1 s

Plugging the previous in the average acceleration formula we get

a=\frac{-2}{0.1}=-20\, m/s where the minus sign indicates an acceleration in the opposite direction of the motion (or in other word opposite to the speed's direction).

An unstretched spring has a length of 10. centimeters. When the spring is stretched by a force of 16 newtons, its length is incr
Fed [463]

Answer:

The spring constant of this spring  is 200 N/m.

Explanation:

Given:

Original unstretched length of the spring (x₀) = 10 cm =0.10 m [1 cm =0.01 m]

Stretched length of the spring (x₁) = 18 cm = 0.18 cm

Force acting on the spring (F) = 16 N

Spring constant of the spring (k) = ?

First let us find the change in length of the spring or the elongation caused in the spring due to the applied force.

So, Change in length = Final length - Initial length

\Delta x = x_1-x_0=0.18-0.10=0.08\ m

Now, restoring force acting on the spring is directly related to its elongation or compression as:

F=k\Delta x

Rewriting in terms of 'k', we get:

k=\dfrac{F}{\Delta x}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'k'. This gives,

k=\frac{16\ N}{0.08\ m}\\\\k=200\ N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of this spring  is 200 N/m.

The radius of Earth is about 6450 km. A 7070 N spacecraft travels away from Earth. What is the weight of the spacecraft at a hei
Triss [41]

Answer:

(a) 1767.43 N

(b) 182.45 N

Explanation:

Radius of earth, R = 6450 km

Weight of person, W = 7070 N

mass of person, m = W / g = 7070 / 9.8 = 721.4 kg

(a) h = 6450 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+6450} \right )^2

g' = g / 4 = 9.8 / 4 = 2.45 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g' = 721.4 x 2.45

W' = 1767.43 N

(b) h = 33700 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+33700} \right )^2

g' = g x 0.0258 = 9.8 x 0.0258 = 0.253 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g'

W' = 721.4 x 0.253

W' = 182.45 N
