A 60 kg student is standing motionless. Approximately how much force is the floor exerting on the student?

Physics
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
7 0
The normal force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the student.
W = m · g = 60 kg · 10 m/s² = 600 N ( downward )
N = - 600 N
Answer:
B ) 600 N upward.

A wave pulse travels along a stretched string at a speed of 100 cm/s. What will be the speed in cm/s if the string's tension is
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The new velocity of the string is 100 centimeters per second (1 meter per second).

Explanation:

The speed of a wave through a string (v), in meters per second, is defined by the following formula:

v = \sqrt{\frac{T\cdot L}{m} } (1)

Where:

T - Tension, in newtons.

L - Length of the string, in meters.

m - Mass of the string, in kilograms.

The expression for initial and final speeds of the wave are:

Initial speed

v_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{T_{o}\cdot L_{o}}{m_{o}} } (2)

Final speed

v = \sqrt{\frac{(4\cdot T_{o})\cdot (0.5\cdot L_{o})}{2\cdot m_{o}} }

v = \sqrt{\frac{T_{o}\cdot L_{o}}{m_{o}} } (3)

By (2), we conclude that:

v =v_{o}

If we know that v_{o} = 1\,\frac{m}{s}, then the new speed of the wave in the string is v = 1\,\frac{m}{s}.

7. Reid runs away from Joharri after an intense political debate. His initial acceleration is
disa [49]

Answer:

0.6944 m/sec^2

Explanation:

The computation of the average acceleration is given below:

a = v - u ÷ t

where

a denotes average acceleration

v denotes final velocity

u denotes initial velocity

t denotes time

So, the average acceleration is

= (25 - 0) ÷ 10

= 0.6944 m/sec^2

Carla holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel, leaning out of a car window, also holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel
spayn [35]

Answer:

Carla

Explination: As Daniel's ball is dropped from the car moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction, at the time the ball is dropped it is also moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction due to inertia, a property of mass causing resistance to change, Daniel's ball will continue to move in a horizontal direction even after being dropped along with falling due to gravity. Daniel's ball will then fall in a projectile motion curve of sorts which will cause an overall velocity to not be straight down causing it not to fall to the ground as quickly as Carla's ball.

Sorry for the long explanation

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their
____ [38]

Answer:

Using the range formula R = v^2 sin 2 theta / g

or v^2 = R * g / sin 86.4

v^2 = 3.14 m * 9.81 m/s2 / .998

v^2 = 30.9 m^2 / s^2

v = 5.56 m/s

This hasn't  really proved the question - this would give

vy = 5.56 * sin 43.2 = 3.81 m/s

vx = 5.56 * cos 43.2. = 4.05 m/s

t = 1.57 / 4.05 = .387 sec to reach the waterfall

h = 3.81 * .387 - 4.9 (.387)^2 = .74 m     well above the height of the falls

There seems another way to do this

vy / vx = tan 43.2       vy = .939 vx

h = vy t - 1/2 g t^2       and t = 1.57 / vx

h = 1.57 tan 43.2 - 4.9 (1.57 / vx)^2

Solving for vx I get vx = 3.26 m/s    vy = 3.06 m/s  v = 4.47 m/s

A cylindrical wire made of an unknown alloy hangs from a support in the ceiling. You measure the relaxed length of the wire to b
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: hello  some of your values are wrongly written hence I will resolve your question using the right values

answer:

stiffness =  1.09 * 10^-6 N/m

Explanation:

Given data:

Length ( l ) = 16 m

radius of wire ( r ) = 3.5 m

mass ( m ) = 5kg

<u>Distance stretched (  Δl ) = 4 * 10^-3 m </u> ( right value )

<u>average bond length ( between atoms ) = 2.3 * 10^-10 m </u>( right value)

first step : calculate the area

area ( A ) = πr^2 = π * ( 3.5)^2 = 38.48 m^2

        γ          = MgL / A Δl

                    = [ (5 * 9.81 * 16 ) / ( 38.48 * (4.3*10^-3) ) ]

                    = 784.8 / 0.165 = 4756.36 N/m^2

hence : stiffness =   γ  * bond length

                           =  4756.36 * 2.3 * 10^-10  = 1.09 * 10^-6 N/m
