You and your friends find a rope that hangs down 19m from a high tree branch right at the edge of a river. You find that you can

run, grab the rope, swing out over the river, and drop into the water. You run at 2.0 m/s and grab the rope, launching yourself out over the river.How long must you hang on if you want to drop into the water at the greatest possible distance from the edge?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of rope L=19\ m

velocity while running v=2\ m/s

when the person jumps off the bank and hang on the rope then we can treat the person as pendulum with Time period T which is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{19}{9.8}}

T=2\pi \times 1.392

T=8.74\ m/s

Greatest Possible distance will be covered when person reaches the other extreme end  of assumed pendulum (velocity=zero)

therefore he must hang on for 0.5 T time

time=0.5\times 8.74=4.37\ s

Why caring a body and moving with it is not a work done<br><br> Why :​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Work done on an object is equal to

FDcos(angle).

So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.

However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.

But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?

Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.

Technician A says that the starter motor used to crank diesel engines can draw up to 400 amps of current. Technician B says that
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: Option A : Technician A

Explanation:

The statement/observation, "that the starter motor used to crank diesel engines can draw up to 400 amps of current" made by Technician A is correct.

A diesel engine uses up to 400+ Amperes of electricity to start up a diesel engine in the ignition chamber of motor engine.

Describe the difference between a soil horizon and a soil profile
mario62 [17]

Soil profile includes all the sections/ horizons of the vertical soil depth from top to bottom including the transitions from one horizon to another. A soil horizon is a distinct layer/section of soil with more or less the same texture. Therefore, a soil profile is made of soil horizons.

One of the checks that you could do for problem 1) would be to check the output resistance of the Wheatstone bridge to make sure
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the four resistances of th wheat stone bridge is

P, Q, R and S and the value of each is 350 ohm.

Here, P and Q are in series.

R' = P + Q = 350 + 350 = 700 ohm

Then R and S are in series

R' = R + S = 350 + 350 = 700 ohm

Now R' and R'' are in parallel.

So, the equivalent resistance is

Req = R' x R'' / ( R' + R'')

Req = 700 / 2 = 350 ohm

Thus, the reading of ohmmeter is 350 ohm.
