43. A rocket sled accelerates at a rate of 49.0m/s2. Its passenger has a mass of 75.0 kg. (a) Calculate the horizontal component

of the force the seat exerts against his body. Compare this with his weight using a ratio. (b) Calculate the direction and magnitude of the total force the seat exerts against his body.

(a) 3675 N

Assuming that the acceleration of the rocket is in the horizontal direction, we can use Newton's second law to solve this part:

F_x = m a_x

where

F_x is the horizontal component of the force

m is the mass of the passenger

a_x is the horizontal component of the acceleration

Here we have

m = 75.0 kg

a_x = 49.0 m/s^2

Substituting,

F_x=(75.0)(49.0)=3675 N

(b) 3748 N, 11.3 degrees above horizontal

In this part, we also have to take into account the forces acting along the vertical direction. In fact, the seat exerts a reaction force (R) which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the passenger:

R=mg=(75.0)(9.8)=735 N

where we used

g=9.8 m/s^2 as acceleration of gravity.

So, this is the vertical component of the force exerted by the seat on the passenger:

F_y = 735 N

and therefore the magnitude of the net force is

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{3675^2+735^2}=3748 N

And the direction is given by

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{735}{3675})=11.3^{\circ}

What is called gravitational potential energy?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Potential gravitational energy is the energy that the body has due to the Earth's gravitational attraction. In this way, the potential gravitational energy depends on the position of the body in relation to a reference level.

What is the answer to this question
scoundrel [369]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Molecules speed up as heat is added

For example when water is heated as the water gets hotter the molecules speed up causing the water to boil and change phases into a gas (this is called evaporation)

In an ice cube the water molecules are frozen (barely moving compressed tight together) as the ice cube heats up the molecules start speeding up and moving further apart as the ice cube turns into liquid form. So as heat is added molecules speed up, move faster and spread further apart
