A lumberjack (mass = 103 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 277 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberja

ck runs to the other end of the log, attaining a velocity of +3.74 m/s relative to the shore, and then hops onto an identical floating log that is initially at rest. Neglect any friction and resistance between the logs and the water. (a) What is the velocity of the first log (again relative to the shore) just before the lumberjack jumps off? (b) Determine the velocity of the second log (again relative to the shore) if the lumberjack comes to rest relative to the second log.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of lumber jack m_L=1000 kg

mass of floating log m_f=277 kg

velocity of lumber jack =3.74 m/s (w.r.t. shore)

conserving momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

0=m_L\times 3.74+m_f\times v

v=-\frac{1000\times 3.74}{277}

v=-13.501 m/s

(b)For second Log

Conserving Momentum

Initial momentum of log and Lumber jack=Final momentum of log and lumberjack

m_L\times 3.74=(m_L+m_f)u

u is final velocity of lumberjack and log

u=\frac{m_L}{m_L+m_f}\times 3.74

u=\frac{1000}{1000+277}=2.92 m/s

Two equal forces are applied to a door. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door, the second force is applied at t
Orlov [11]

Answer:

D) the second at the doorknob

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

\tau = Fdsin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and d

In this problem, we have:

- Two forces of equal magnitude F

- Both forces are perpendicular to the door, so \theta=90^{\circ}, sin \theta=1

- The first force is exerted at the midpoint of the door, while the 2nd force is applied at the doorknob. This means that d is the larger for the 2nd force

--> therefore, the 2nd force exerts a greater torque

Find the potential energy associated with a 61-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington, 1900 m above sea level. Take the
Natali [406]

Answer:

The potential energy of the hiker is 1.13\times 10^6\ J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the hiker, m = 61 kg

Height above sea level, h = 1900 m

We need to find the potential energy associated with a 61-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington. The potential energy is given by :

E=mgh

g is the acceleration due to gravity

E=61\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1900\ m\\\\E=1.13\times 10^6\ J

So, the potential energy of the hiker is 1.13\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.
