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

A 0.25 kg skeet (clay target) is fired at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizon with a speed of 25 m/s. When it reaches the maxi
kozerog [31]

Answer:

6.51 m and 37.13 m

Explanation:

from the question we were given

mass of skeet = 0.25 kg

speed of skeet = 25 m/s

angle = 30 degrees to the horizon

mass of pellet = 15 g

speed of pellet = 2000 m/s

without being hit by the pellet, the x and y components of the skeet velocity are  

Vx = 25 cos 30 = 21.65

Vy = 25 sin 30 = 12.5

now

V = U + (a x t)

where V = final velocity, U = initial velocity , a = acceleration, t = time and s = distance

-25 sin 30 = 25 sin 30 + (-9.8 x t)

-12.5 = 12.5 - 9.8 t

t = 2.55 s

also

V^2 = U^2 + 2as  ( s = vertical distance and V = 0 )

0 = (25 sin 30)^2 + 2 x (-9.8) x Y

19.6 Y = 156.25

Y =7.97 m

the distance traveled without the pellet hitting the skeet can be gotten using distance = speed x time

distance = 21.65 x 2.55 = 55.2 m

applying the conservation of linear momentum

on the x axis : (Ms x Us) + (Mp x Up) = (Ms x Vx) + (Mp x Vx)  ...equation 1

on the y axis :   (Ms x Us) + (Mp x Up) = (Ms x Vy) + (Mp x Vy) ...equation 2

(0.25 x 25 cos 30) + 0 = (0.25 +0.015) Vx

 Vx = 20.42m/s

0 + (0.015 x 200) = (0.25 + 0.015) Vy

 Vy = 11.32 m/s

now V^2 = U^2 + 2 as

 0 = 11.3^2 + (2 x (-9.8) x s)

s = 6.51 m                          

  • to find the extra distance moved after collision we apply

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

-7.98 = 11.32t + 1/2 (-9.8) t^2

4.9 t^2 - 11.32t + 7.98

t =  3.17 s

recall that distance = speed x time

distance = 20.42 x 3.17 = 64.73 m

the distance of the skeet before being hit would be half of the distance it travels without being hit, this is because the skeet was hit at its maximum height = 55.2 /2

= 27.6 m

therefore the extra distance traveled would be the change in distance = 64.73 -27.6 = 37.13 m

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

<em>For this case we have that by definition, the social sciences group all the scientific disciplines whose object of study is linked to the activities and behavior of human beings. The social sciences, therefore, analyze the manifestations of society, both material and symbolic.</em>

The surrounding natural environment is an environment that is mostly social. Therefore, using, using the mentioned definition, we need to consulate a social scientist.

This person can give information about the behavior of humans in social areas.

Then, Janet can get help from a social scientist.

2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 m
Travka [436]

<u>Answer:</u> Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

<u>Explanation:</u>

To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.

This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:

Wave base = \frac{\text{Wavelength}}{2}

We are given:

Wavelength = 24 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Wave base = \frac{24m}{2}=12m

Hence, below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

Why do we need food even we lying in bed​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

huger

Explanation:

Every living organisms would always need food because of the need for survival. Therefore, there's no human body positioning that specifies no need for food. E.g we can stand and still take in food; sit and eat, just to mention a few.
