Answer:

a) F = 100.375 N

b) F = 38.252 N

Explanation:

a) she is accelerated from rest to a speed of 11 m/s in 8.0 s

We get the acceleration we use this equation,

v = u + at

where v is the final velocity - 11 m/s

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s (from rest)

t is time taken = 8 s

Since v = u + at  

11 = 0 + a×8

8a = 11

a = 11/8 = 1.375

a = 1.375 m/s²

The force equation is given by:

F = ma

F is the force, m is mass = 73 kg and a is acceleration

F = 73 × 1.375 = 100.375

F = 100.375 N

(b) she lets go of the tow rope and glides to a halt in 21 s.

We get the acceleration we use this equation,

v = u + at

where v is the final velocity = 0 m/s (to a halt)

u = initial velocity = 11 m/s

t is time taken = 21 s

Since v = u + at  

0 = 11 + a×21

21a = -11

a = -11/21 = -0.524

a = 0.524 m/s²

The force equation is given by:

F = ma

F is the force, m is mass = 73 kg and a is acceleration

F = 73 × 0.524 = 38.252

F = 38.252 N

Westkost [7]

Answer:

A) B = 24 ft

B) H = 24.08 ft

C) M.A = 12.04

D) P = 13.7 lb

Explanation:

A)

Minimum allowable length of base of ramp can be found as follows:

Slope = H/B

where,

Slope = 1/12

H = Height of Ramp = 2 ft

B = Length of Base of Ramp = ?

Therefore,

1/12 = 2 ft/B

B = 2 ft * 12

<u>B = 24 ft</u>

B)

The length of the slope of ramp can be found by using pythagora's theorem:

L = √H² + B²

where,

H = Perpendicular = height = 2 ft

B = Base = Length of Base of Ramp = 24 ft

L = Hypotenuse = Length of Slope of Ramp = ?

Therefore,

H = √[(2 ft)² + (24 ft)²]

<u>H = 24.08 ft</u>

D)

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is given by the following formula:

M.A = L/H

M.A = 24.08 ft/2 ft

<u>M.A = 12.04</u>

D)

Another general formula for Mechanical Advantage is:

M.A = W/P

where,

W = Ideal Load = 165 lb

P = Ideal Effort Force = ?

Therefore,

12.04 = 165 lb/P

P = 165 lb/12.04

<u>P = 13.7 lb</u>

Two mass m1 and m2 lie on a frictionless surface. Between the two masses is a compressed spring, with spring constant k. The sys
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The spring was compressed the following amount:

\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }

Explanation:

Use conservation of energy between initial and final state, considering that the surface id frictionless, and there is no loss in thermal energy due to friction. the total initial energy is the potential energy of the compressed spring (by an amount \Delta x), and the total final energy is the addition of the kinetic energies of both masses:

E_i=\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2\\\\E_f=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2

E_i=E_f\\

\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2\\k\,(\Delta x)^2=m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2\\(\Delta x)^2=\frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} \\\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }
