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

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 8.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current i
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth V = 9.05 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The local ocean current is  = 1.52 m/s

Direction \theta = 40°

Velocity component in X - direction V_{x} = 1.52 \cos 40°

V_{x} = 1.164 \frac{m}{s}

Velocity component in Y - direction V_{y} = 8 + 1.52 \sin 40°

V_{y} = 8.97 \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth

V = \sqrt{V_{x}^{2} + V_{y} ^{2}  }

Put the values of V_{x} and V_{y} we get,

⇒ V = \sqrt{1.164^{2} + 8.97 ^{2}  }

⇒ V = 9.05 \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of the ship relative to the earth.

A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute. It starts at a height of 1.69 m above the bottom of the chute with
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 6.94 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can find the speed at the bottom of the ramp using energy conservation

Starting point. Higher

            Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g h

Final point. Lower

            Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

            Em₀ = Em_{f}

            ½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²

            v² = v₀² + 2 g h

             

Let's calculate

             v = √(1.23² + 2 9.8 1.69)

             v = 5.89 m / s

In the horizontal part we can use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

            W = ΔK

            -fr x = 0- ½ m v²  

               

Newton's second law

              N- W = 0

     

The equation for the friction is

               fr = μ N

               fr = μ m g

We replace

             μ m g x = ½ m v²

             x = v² / 2μ g

Let's calculate

            x = 5.89² / (2 0.255 9.8)

            x = 6.94 m

Determine whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter. a homeowner measured the voltage supplied to his home on 20 day
Gelneren [198K]
<span>For this example, the value presented would be considered a statistic. The value is a statistic as it represents a numerical measurement of a sample. If it were a parameter, it would need to represent a numerical measurement of a population.</span>

Can I get help and an explanation on C?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

1.67 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = final momentum

(30 kg) (10 m/s) + (35 kg) (-10 m/s) = (30 kg) v + (35 kg) (0 m/s)

300 - 350 = 30v

v = -5/3 m/s

Linus will move at 1.67 m/s in the direction opposite that he started.
