Answer:

The Mass of a person is calculated to be 28.6kg .

Explanation:

This is based on Kinetic energy and we know, that Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by body by virtue of its motion .

It can be calculated by expression :

K.E=1/2mv²

Velocity of a person = 11.2m/sec

Kinetic energy = 1800J

Mass of person = ?

We know ,

K.E=1/2mv²

so, putting values we have :

1800=1/2 x m x (11.2)²

That is ,

m=1800 x 2 /11.2 x 11.2

or

m=3600/125.44

m = 28.6 kg

A 10n force is applied to a 25kg mass to slide it across a frictional surface. What is the acceleration of the mass?
klasskru [66]

Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

A jet transport has a weight of 2.25 x 106 N and is at rest on the runway. The two rear wheels are 16.0 m behind the front wheel
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of jet

W = 2.25 × 10^6 N

It is at rest on the run way.

Two rear wheels are 16m behind the front wheel

Center of gravity of plane 10.6m behind the front wheel

A. Normal force entered on the ground by front wheel.

Taking moment about the the about the real wheel.

Check attachment for better understanding

So,

Clock wise moment = anti-clockwise moment

W × 5.4 = N × 16

2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 = 16•N

N = 2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 / 16

N = 7.594 × 10^5 N

B. Normal force on each of the rear two wheels.

Using the second principle of equilibrium body.

Let the rear wheel normal be Nr and note, the are two real wheels, then, there will be two normal forces

ΣFy = 0

Nr + Nr + N — W = 0

2•Nr = W—N

2•Nr = 2.25 × 10^6 — 7.594 × 10^5

2•Nr = 1.491 × 10^6

Nr = 1.491 × 10^6 / 2

Nr = 7.453 × 10^5 N
