A woman living in a third-story apartment is moving out. Rather than carrying everything down the stairs, she decides to pack he

r belongings into crates, attach a frictionless pulley to her balcony railing, and lower the crates by rope.
Required:
How hard must she pull on the horizontal end of the rope to lower a 49 kg crate at steady speed?

Answer:

T = 480.2N

Explanation:

In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.

The forces on the boxes are:

T-Mg=0      (1)

T: tension of the rope

M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.

By using the equation (1) you obtain:

T=Mg=(49kg)(9.8m/s^2)=480.2N

The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N

car was moving in a straight road of length 320 km it covered 240 km with an average velocity 75 km/hr then it ran out of fuel a
Stella [2.4K]

The average velocity of the car for the whole journey is 69.57 km/h.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Length of the road, L = 320 km</em>
  • <em>Distance covered = 240 km at 75 km/h</em>
  • <em>time spent refueling, t₂ = 0.6 hr</em>
  • <em>Final velocity, = 100 km/hr</em>

The time spent by the before refueling is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{d}{v} \\\\t_1 = \frac{240}{75} \\\\t_1 = 3.2 \ hours

The time spent by the car for the remaining journey;

t_3 = \frac{320 - 240}{100} \\\\t_3 = 0.8 \ hr

The total time of the journey is calculated as follows;

t = t_1 + t_2 + t_3\\\\t = 3.2 \ hr \ + \ 0.6 \ hr \ + \ 0.8 \ hr\\\\t = 4.6 \ hours

The average velocity of the car for the whole journey is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time} \\\\v = \frac{320}{4.6} \\\\v = 69.57 \ km/h

Having aced your Physics 2111 class, you get a sweet summer-job working in the International Space Station. Your room-mate, Cosm
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

a

The speed is   s =  5.857 m/s

b

The distance is  D = 22.4  \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the banana is  v =  16 \ m/s

   The distance from my  location is  d =  8.2  \ m  

     The time taken is  t = 1.4 \ s

The speed of the ice cream is

          s =  \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

        s =  \frac{8.4}{1.4}

        s =  5.857 m/s

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

   So  

          D =  v * t

substituting values

        D = 16 *  1.4

        D = 22.4  \  m

A boy of mass 40kg eats bananas contains of 980 joule. If this energy is used to lift him up from ground,the height to which he
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

h = 2.49 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the definition of potential energy, which tells us that energy is equal to the product of mass by gravity by height.

The potential energy can be calculated by means of this equation:

Ep = m*g*h

where:

Ep = potential energy = 980 [J]

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

h = elevation [m]

Now replacing:

980 = 40*9.81*h

h = 2.49 [m]

What happens to the electric potential energy of a negatively charged ion as it moves through the water from the negative probe
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is the potential energy which is associated with the configuration of points charge in a system and it is the result of conservative coulomb force.

When the negatively charge ion is at the position of the negative probe than its potential energy is positive when it is move towards the positive probe it's potential energy becomes negative due to the negative ion.

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.

What's is meant by relative motion?​
saveliy_v [14]

Relative motion means a motion relative to a reference point. We can also say, relative motion means motion referred or observed from a reference point.

For example, Alex is in a train and Ace is at the station, when the train starts moving, for Ace it is moving at a speed of 10 m/s, but for Alex it is moving at 0 m/s, or we can say that it is at rest for Alex, but in motion for Ace. This is relative motion.
