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

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: 20 kgm/s

Explanation:

Given that M1 = M2 = 10kg

V1 = 5 m/s , V2 = 3 m/s

Since momentum is a vector quantity, the direction of the two object will be taken into consideration.

The magnitude of their combined

momentum before the crash will be:

M1V1 - M2V2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

10 × 5 - 10 × 3

50 - 30

20 kgm/s

Therefore, the magnitude of their combined momentum before the crash will be 20 kgm/s

TWO QUESTIONS!
solong [7]

The correct answer to the question is : 1) Converting energy and 2) Within about twenty years, natural gas forms.

EXPLANATION:

In coal fired power plants, the water is heated by burning coals. The heat produced in this process will convert water into steam. The steam is allowed to rotate the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator which converts the kinetic energy of the steam into electric energy due to electromagnetic induction.

Hence, turbine helps in converting energy.

As per the second question, Walt listed the steps that occur during the formation of natural gas.

The natural gas is produced due to natural phenomenon. For this, millions of years are passed. So, it is a long range process in which the fossil of animals and planets buried beneath the surface are converted into natural gas under high pressure.

Hence, the mistake of Walt is  that the natural gas is produced withing twenty years.

One end of a rope is tied to the handle of a horizontally-oriented and uniform door. a force f is applied to the other end of th
Vlada [557]

For rotational equilibrium of the door we can say that torque due to weight of the door must be counter balanced by the torque of external force

F\times L = mg \times \frac{L}{2}

here weight will act at mid point of door so its distance is half of the total distance where force is applied

here we know that

mg = 145 N

now we will have

F = \frac{mg}{2}

F = \frac{145}{2} = 72.5 N

so our applied force is 72.5 N
