In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land

hard on the floor. Suppose the victim falls by 0.50 m, the mass that moves downward is 79.0 kg, and the collision on the floor lasts 0.0750 s. What are the magnitudes of the (a) impulse and (b) average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?

Answer:

A)247.4kgm/s b) 3299.0N

Explanation:

The potential energy of the victim = mgh where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height from where the victim fell

Pe = 79*9.81*0.5 = 1/2mv2 (kinetic energy of the motion) v is speed in m/s

v = √9.81 = 3.132m/s

Change in momentum of the victim = m(vi-vf)

Vi is zero and vf is the velocity of impact

Change in momentum = 79*(3.132-0) = 247kgm/s which also the impulse

B) average force x time = impulse = 247

Average force = 247/0.075 = 3299.04N

How much work does the electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +125 v to a point where it is -55 v
777dan777 [17]
The work W done by the electric field in moving the proton is equal to the difference in electric potential energy of the proton between its initial location and its final location, therefore:
W= qV_i - qV_f
where q is the charge of the proton, q=1 e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C, with e being the elementary charge, and V_i = +125 V and V_f = -55 V are the initial and final voltage.

Substituting, we get (in electronvolts):
W=e(125 V-(-55 V))=180 eV
and in Joule:
W=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19})(125 V-(-55V))=2.88 \cdot 10^{-17}J

A slinky forms it’s third harmonic standing wave when the input frequency is 24 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the sli
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The fundamental frequency of the slinky = 8Hz

An input frequency of 28 Hz will not create a standing wave

Explanation:

Let Fo = fundamental frequency

At third harmonic,

F = 3Fo

If F = 24Hz

24 = 3Fo

Fo = 24/3 = 8Hz

If an input frequency = 28 Hz at 3rd harmonic

Let find the fundamental frequency

28 = 3Fo

Fo = 28/3

Fo = 9.33333Hz

Since Fo isn't a whole number, it can't create a standing wave
