A window washer on a hanging platform cleans the outside of windows on a skyscraper. The washer hoists the platform up the side

of the building by pulling down on a rope that runs up over a pulley and then runs back down and connects to the top of the platform. The combined mass of the washer and the platform is 100kg, and the washer pulls on the rope with a force of 800N. What is the acceleration of the platform?

Answer:

Acceleration of the platform = - 1.8 m/s²

Explanation:

The net force acting on a body accelerates the body in the same direction as that in which the resultant is applied.

Writing the force balance for the setup,

ma = 800 - mg

100a = 800 - 100×9.8

100a = - 180

100a = - 180

a = - 1.8 m/s²

This means the body falls downwards.

A car passes point “A” and then 120 meters later. It’s velocity was measured 21 m/s. If it’s acceleration was constant at 0.853
Norma-Jean [14]

Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

where v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities, respecitvely; a is the acceleration; and \Delta x is the change in position.

So we have

\left(21\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-{v_i}^2=2\left(0.853\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(120\,\mathrm m)

\implies v_i\approx\boxed{15.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

(Normally, this equation has two solutions, but we omit the negative one because the car is moving in one direction.)

A small spaceship whose mass is 1300 kg (including an astronaut) is drifting in outer space with negligible gravitational forces
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Relation between energy and momentum is as follows .

E = h c / λ

E / c = h / λ

h /λ = momentum of a photon

momentum of a photon  = E /c

= 11 x 10³ / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.67 x 10⁻⁵

In 4 days no of photon

= 4 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 345600 .

momentum of photon released

3.67 x 10⁻⁵  x 345600 .

= 12.68 kg m/s

This momentum will be imparted to spaceship .

12.68 = mv

12 .68 = 1300 x v

v = .00975 m /s

= 9.75 mm /s

Calculate the specific gravity of a pure gold nugget (ρ = 19.3 g/cm3)
Natasha2012 [34]
We know, For a substance they both are equal in magnitude, i.e., 

Specific Gravity = Density 
Specific Gravity = 19.3      [ As Density = 19.3 ]

In short, option C would be your correct Answer!

Hope this helps!

I need the answer please help
timurjin [86]

Answer:

A) Inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is why objects tend to resist changes in their motion. Like a rolling ball will keep rolling unless we try to add friction to it, which then would stop the ball.
