would it be possible for a small man running fast to have the same kinetic energy as a large man who runs slowly?

Absolutely. A little bullet can have more kinetic energy than both of them.  KE depends on the mass of the object AND the SQUARE of its speed.

A thin, metallic spherical shell of radius 0.227 m has a total charge of 6.03 × 10 − 6 C placed on it.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius r=0.227 m

Charge on surface Q=6.03\times 10^{-6} C

Point Charge inside sphere q=1.15\times 10^{-6} C

Electric Field at r=0.735 m

Treating Surface charge as Point charge and applying Gauss law

E_{total}A=\frac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon _0}

where A=surface area up to distance r

E_{total}=\frac{Q+q}{4\pi r^2}

E_{total}=\frac{6.03\times 10^{-6}+1.15\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi (0.735)^2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}

E_{total}=1.194\times 10^{5} N/C

A bicycle pedal is pushed straight downwards by a foot with a 33 Newton force. The shaft of the pedal is 20 cm long. If the shaf
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The magnitud of the torque doing by the foot at the point where the shaft is attached is 0.063 Nm

Explanation:

The torque is obtained by multiplying the longitude from the shaft attached point to force acting point by the force perpendicular component:

T = d * Fp

Notice that the perpindicular component is the total force magnitud times the sino of the angle respect the horizontal:

Fp = F*sin(a)

Replacing the values for the force and the angle:

Fp = 33N*sin(π/5)  = 33N * 0.011 = 0.363 N

Taking the distance in meters:

T = 0.2m * 0.363 N = 0.063 Nm

A beam of unpolarized light in air strikes a flat piece of glass at an angle of incidence of 54.2 degrees. If the reflected beam
Stels [109]

Answer:

correct option is B. 1.39

Explanation:

given data

angle of incidence (θ) = 54.2 degrees

to find out

index of refraction of the glass

solution

we know that here reflected beam is completely polarized

so angle of incidence = angle of polarized    ....................1

for reflective index we apply here Brewster law that is

μ = tan(θ)     ...............2

put here θ value we get

μ = tan(54.2)

μ = 1.386

so correct option is B. 1.39

Explain why it takes much more effort to
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Mass Kinetic Energy and Jules

Explanation:

The train in question is  big and heavy and a car is decently heavy but say a train moving at 55 mph can plow through a car and a car driving at 55mph driving at a train will be stopped dead in its tracks. This is because newtons laws of motion specifically an object in motion will stay in motion unless its opposed. The train also has a payload behind it meaning it hurts with force while a car doesn't have to much mass behind it. The train takes loner to stop for as it's acceleration as well as it's deceleration are very slow because its huge and takes a lot of force to stop it while a car is very centralized and compact when it comes to weight and its brakes are usually effective at stopping at 55 mph in about 2 to 6 seconds while a train might stay moving for a good 35 seconds. The force behind the train is immense for as even if the wheels don't spin at all the train will still move since the force behind it is great and a cars tires have a lot of grip and not a lot mass which plays into the force the car has so it can stop simply.

A chair of weight 70.0 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F =
Annette [7]

Answer:

94.67 N

Explanation:

Consider a free body diagram with force, F of 41 N applied at an angle of 37 degrees while the weight acts downwards. Resolving the force into vertical and horizontal components, we obtain a free body diagram attached.

At equilibrium, normal reaction is equal to the sum of the weight and the vertical component of the force applied. Applying the condition of equilibrium along the vertical direction.  

\begin{array}{l}\\\Sigma {F_y} = 0\\\\N - W - F\sin \theta = 0\\\\N = W + F\sin \theta \\\end{array}

Substituting 70 N for W, 41 N for F and \theta for 37 degrees

N=70+41sin37=94.67441595  N and rounding off to 2 decimal places

N=94.67 N
