Calculate the work done in lifting a 500-N
Mrac [35]

Answer:

1100Joules

Explanation:

Workdone = force x distance

Force= 500N

Distance = 2.2m

So, workdone = 500 x 2.2

= 1100Joules

A ball is kicked horizontally from a 60 meter tall cliff at 10 m/s. How far from
o-na [289]

Hi there!

We can begin by deriving the equation for how long the ball takes to reach the bottom of the cliff.

\large\boxed{\Delta d = v_it+ \frac{1}{2}at^2}}

There is NO initial vertical velocity, so:

\large\boxed{\Delta d= \frac{1}{2}at^2}}

Rearrange to solve for time:

2\Delta d = at^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\Delta d}{g}}

Plug in the given height and acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 9.8 m/s²)

t = \sqrt{\frac{2(60)}{(9.8)}} = 3.5 s

Now, use the following for finding the HORIZONTAL distance using its horizontal velocity:

\large\boxed{d_x = vt}\\\\d_x = 10(3.5) = \karge\boxed{35 m}

A 74 kg firefighter slides, from rest, 4.9 m down a vertical pole. (a) If the firefighter holds onto the pole lightly, so that t
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Her speed is 9.8 meter per second

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration (a) is related with force (F) by:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a} (1)

Here the only force acting on the firefighter is the weight F=mg so (1) is:

mg=ma

Solving for a:

a=g

Now with the acceleration we can use the Galileo's kinematic equation:

Vf^{2}=Vo^{2}+2a\varDelta x (2)

With Vf the final velocity, Vo the initial velocity and Δx the displacement, because the firefighter stars from rest Vo=0 so (2) is:

Vf^{2}=2a\varDelta x

Solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{2g\varDelta x}=\sqrt{2(9.81)(4.9)}

Vf=9.8\frac{m}{s}
