A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

44.0 N without breaking. What is the weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in (a) at constant speed and (b) with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.26 m/s2?

Answer:

(a) W= 44N

(b)W= 31.65 N

Explanation:

Data

T=44 N : Maximum force that the rope can withstand without breaking

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a)  We apply the formula (1) at constant speed , then, a=0

W: heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically

∑F = 0

T-W =0  

W = T

W= 44N

(b)  We apply the formula (1) , a= 1.26 m/s²

W: heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically

W= m*g

m= W/g

g= 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

∑F = 0

T-W = m*a

T= W+(W/g)*a

44=W*(1+1/9.8)* (1.26 )

44= W* 1.39

W= 44/1.39

W= 31.65 N

This is a sneaky trick question, to help you discover whether you know
one of the differences between velocity and speed.
=======================================
If you make a list of the distances and directions, and ignore the times,
you find these:

4 - west,  (3 + 1) - east . . . . .  zero in the east/west direction

1.5 - north,  1.5 - south . . . . . zero in the north/south direction

This jogger went out, had a nice jog around the neighborhood,and ended up exactly where he started.

Average velocity = (distance between start point and end point) / (time)

IF the question asked for average SPEED, then you would need the total distance, and divide it by the total time.  But it asks for VELOCITY, and <u>that</u> only involves the straight distance between the start point and the end point, regardless of the route taken in between.

The jogger ended up exactly where he started.  The distance between start and end points was zero.  Average velocity is  (zero) / (time) .  And that fraction is going to be <em><u>Zero</u></em>, no matter how long or how short the trip was, and no matter how much time it took.

I Require Help on this Physics Question, I made an attempt at answering but I just have no idea.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

It traveled 24 centimeters

Explanation:

The displacement of the object is equal to the area under the velocity vs time graph.

We can split this graph into two shapes, a triangle and a rectangle.  So the total area is:

A = ½bh + wh

A = ½ (4 s − 0 s) (4 cm/s) + (8 s − 4 s) (4 cm/s)

A = 8 cm + 16 cm

A = 24 cm
