A rock climber is going up a narrow space between two vertical rocks. The distance between the rocks allows the climber to brace

herself using friction, where her feet are flat and in contact with one rock to the left, and her legs are straight horizontal and her back is flat against a rock on the right. The coefficient of static friction between her shoes and the rock on the left is 1.2, and between the rock at right and her back is 0.8. The climber relaxes until she is on the verge of slipping on both sides.
(a) Draw a FBD for the climber
(b) What fraction of her weight is supported by the frictional force on her shoes?

A teacher asks her students to jump off of the ground. Once the students complete the task, she says, "All of you just made Eart
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

A) Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or continue in its current state of motion except it is acted upon by another force.

Now using this law, when you jump off the ground, the earth will move a tiny bit and accelerate due to the force applied by the jumping.

B) Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net external force acting on that system, is in the same direction with it and also inversely proportional to the mass.

In this case, when one jumps, an external force is exerted on the earth and we are told it is directly proportional to the acceleration of the system which in this case it's the earth, then it means that there is some motion by the earth even though you didn't see it move.

C) Newton's third law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case the motion of the jumper will lead to an equal and opposite reaction of the earth.

Physics, calculating net force. Please work it out for me
Margarita [4]

Answer:

F = 2985.125 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 8 m

Speed of Micheal, v = 17 m/s

Mass of body, m = 65 kg  We need to find the net force acting on Micheal. Net force act the bottom of the circle is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\\F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}+g)\\\\=65(\dfrac{17^2}{8}+9.8)\\\\=2985.125\ N

So, the net force is 2985.125 N.
