A 50 kg rock climber accidentally falls from the side of a rock and freefalls until she is stopped by her 9 m saftey rope. Assum

ing that the rope stops her completely with no rebound, what is the impulse impared on her body by the rope? If the rock climber's rope took 0.224s to stop her completely after she fell, what was the average force felt by the rock climber as she stopped?

Answer:

a) 665 kg.m/s

b) 2.97 kN

Explanation:

The impulse is given by:

J=\Delta p\\J=m(v_a-v_b)

where

va=velocity after

vb=velocity before

The velocity just before is given by:

v_b=\sqrt{2*9.81m/s^2*9m}=13.3m/s(-\hat{j})

The velocity just after is zero because there wasn't a rebound.

So the impulse is:

J=50kg*(0-13.3m/s(-\hat{j}))\\J=50kg*(0+13.3m/s(\hat{j}))=665kg.m/s

The impulse is also given by:

J=\Delta p=F* \Delta t\\so:\\F=\frac{J}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\frac{665kg.m/s}{0.224s}=2.97kN

Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • <em>Abbie’s acceleration is (1/2) Zak’s acceleration.</em>

Explanation

1. <u>Data</u>:

a) ω = constant

b) Abbie: r₁ = 1 m

c) Zak: r₂ = 2 m

d) Ac₁ = ? Ac₂

2. <u>Formulae</u>

  • Ac = ω² r

3. <u>Solution</u>:

a) Abbie:

  • Ac₁ = ω² r₁  =  ω² (1m)

b) Zack:

  • Ac₂ = ω² r₂  = ω² (2m)

c) Divide Ac₁ / Ac₂

  • Ac₁ / Ac₂ =  ω² (1m) / [ω² (2m) ] = 1/2

⇒      Ac₁ = (1/2) Ac₂ = Ac₂ / 2 = 0.5 Ac₂

Ludmilka [50]

Answer: magnitude of the instantaneous angular velocity

Explanation:

Instantaneous angular speed is refered to as the magnitude of the instantaneous angular velocity. We should note that the instantaneous angular velocity is the rate that has to do with the rotation of an object in circular path.

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)

n is the refractive index of the medium

In this problem:

\lambda_0 = 5.89\cdot 10^{-7} m is the original wavelength of the wave

n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:

\lambda=\frac{5.89\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.47}=4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m
