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

A 1.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (-1.20 m, 0.500 m) and a 4.50 kg particle has the xy coordinates (0.600 m, -0.750 m).
just olya [345]

Answer:

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

Explanation:

The center of mass of a system of particles (\vec r_{cm}), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:

\vec r_{cm} = \frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}\cdot \vec r_{i}}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}} (1)

Where:

m_{i} - Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.

\vec r_{i} - Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.

If we know that \vec r_{cm} = (-0.500\,m,-0.700\,m), m_{1} = 1\,kg, \vec r_{1} = (-1.20\,m, 0.500\,m), m_{2} = 4.50\,kg, \vec r_{2} = (0.600\,m, -0.750\,m) and m_{3} = 4\,kg, then the coordinates of the third particle are:

(-0.500\,m, -0.700\,m) = \frac{(1\,kg)\cdot (-1.20\,m,0.500\,m)+(4.50\,kg)\cdot (0.600\,m,-0.750\,m)+(4\,kg)\cdot \vec r_{3}}{1\,kg+4.50\,kg+4\,kg}

(-4.75\,kg\cdot m, -6.65\,kg\cdot m) = (-1.20\,kg\cdot m, 0.500\,kg\cdot m) + (2.7\,kg\cdot m, -3.375\,kg\cdot m) +(4\cdot x_{3},4\cdot y_{3})

(4\cdot x_{3}, 4\cdot y_{3}) = (-6.25\,kg\cdot m,-3.775\,kg\cdot m)

(x_{3},y_{3}) = (-1.562\,m,-0.944\,m)

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

Metals are good conductors of electric current for which of the following reasons?They possess high concentrations of protonsThe
KatRina [158]

The correct answer is: They possess high concentrations of free electrons

The main characteristic of good conductors such as metals is the presence of movable electrically charged particles, or electrons. So, when an electric current is applied to a metal, the electrons will move and allow electricity to pass through them. Materials opposite of metals, with low electron mobility are not good conductors, instead they are called insulators.

The change in momentum experienced by a object is equivalent to the...
Papessa [141]

Answer: C (impulse acting on the object)

The momentum is defined as it is the impulse acting on the force . Change in momentum is known as Impulse. Impulse is used to increase or decrease the momentum of object.                                    

From Newtons II law

              F = m. a

                = m. v/t               <em>since a = rate of change of velocity.</em>

<em>              </em>F . t = m . v

F . t is known as impulse momentum

4. All electromagnetic radiation moves at the speed of ________________, which is _________________ m/s.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

All electromagnetic radiation, regardless of its wavelength, travels at what is called the "speed of light". In a vacuum, it is measured as 299,792,458 meters per second. 3.0 x 108 meters per second.
