A 55.6 kg ice skater is moving at 1.73 m/s when she grabs the loose end of a rope, the opposite end of which is tied to a pole.

She then moves in a circle of radius 0.608 m around the pole. Find the force exerted by the rope on her arms. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of kN.

Answer:

The force exerted by the rope on her arms is 273.7 N = 0.274 kN

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the ice skater = 55.6 kg

Velocity = 1.73 m/s

She then moves in a circle of radius 0.608 m around the pole.

Step 2:

Force exterted by the horizontal rope is the centripetal force acting on theice skater:

Fc = M*ac

⇒ with ac = v²/r

Fc = M * v²/r

Fc = 55.6 * 1.73²/0.608

Fc =273.69 N

The force exerted by the rope on her arms is 273.7 N = 0.274 kN

Tom [10]

This question is a very good one indeed! I am very happy you asked it. I would first like to say that, although energy is important, our planet is more so. That is why I feel like we should always try to explore ideas that are both useful to the human race but also useful in protecting our environment because what is the use in having energy if we will not be able to use it. That is why I feel that we should try at types of energy like solar and wind. The problem is finding ways that are less expensive and more efficient. For example, creating a wind energy system that creates a sizeable about of energy and also is not too expensive and hard to make like the wind turbines of nowadays. Also what comes into question is the effect of these ideas and I feel that although some of these may have harmful effects, they must be used. One thing though is that I do not agree in expanding on our oil and gas exploration because it has so many bad effects to our environment that it is hardly worth it. If we can find alternatives in these other sources, like many states in the USA are trying to do, then we will be able to move much faster in technology and also help protect our lovely planet.

The average distance of Enceladus from Saturn is 238,000 km; the average distance of Titan from Saturn is 1,222,000 km. How much
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Titan takes 11.634 times longer to orbit Saturn as compared to Enceladus.

Explanation:

We have been given that the average distance of Enceladus from Saturn is 238,000 km; the average distance of Titan from Saturn is 1,222,000 km.

We will use Kepler's Law to solve our given problem.

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{(r_1)^3}{(r_2)^3}

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{(238,000)^3}{(1,222,000)^3}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{13481272000000000}{1824793048000000000}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{13481272}{1824793048}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=0.0073878361246365

Taking square root of both sides, we will get:

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\sqrt{0.0073878361246365}

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=0.0859525225030452495

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{1}{0.0859525225030452495}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=11.634329870476699\approx 11.634

T_2=11.634\cdot T_1

This implies that time period of Titan about Sturn is 11.634 times more compared to time period of Enceladus about Saturn.

So, basically Titan takes 11.634 times longer to orbit Saturn as compared to Enceladus.

Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 4.5 m long, its mass is 0.4
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

density = 0.0933 kg/m

speed = 27.581 m/s

Explanation:

given data

length L = 4.5 m

mass m = 0.42 kg

force  F = 71 N

to find out

mass density and speed

solution

we find linear mass density

linear mass density  = mass / length

put here all value

density = 0.42 / 4.5

density = 0.0933 kg/m

and

speed of wave

speed = √(F/density)

speed = √(0.42/0.933)

speed = 27.581 m/s
