Answer:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

Explanation:

A 9N block would exert 9N of normal force on the horizontal plane under normal conditions. But in this case, we have a spring taking away some of the force by applying an upward force on the box.

So the force exerted by the box on the surface would now be:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

What must the diver's minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, wh
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.08 m/s

Explanation:

This can be solved with two steps, first we need to find the time taken to fall 9.5 m, then we can divide the horizontal distance covered with time taken to calculate the velocity.

Time taken to fall 9.5 m

vertical acceleration = a = 9.8 m/s^2.

vertical velocity = 0, (since there is only horizontal component for velocity, )

distance traveled  s = 9.5 m.

Substituting these values in the equation

s= u \timest+0.5at^{2}

t= \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }

t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times9.5}{9.8} }

⇒ t= 1.392 sec

Velocity needed

We know the time taken (1.392 s) to travel 1.5 m,

So velocity = 1.5 m / 1.392 s = 1.08 m/s

hence velocity of the diver must be at least 1.08 m/s

At 2 P.M., ship A is 150 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 35 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/h. How fast i
labwork [276]

Answer:

The distance between the ships changing at 6PM is 21.29Km/h

Explanation:

Ship A is sailing east at 35Km/h and ship B is sailing West at 25Km/h

Given

dx/dt= 35

dy/dt= 25

dv/dt= ???? at t= 6PM - 2PM= 4

Therefore t=4

We know ship A travels at 150km in the x-direction and Ship A at t=4 travels at 4.35 Which is 140 also in x-direction

So, we use:

D^2 = (150 - x)^2 + y^2;

D^2 = (150 - 140)^2 + y^2

But ship B travels at t=4, at 4.25 =100 in the y-direction

so, let's use the equation:

D^2 = 10^2 + 100^2

= D= sqrt*(10 + 100)

Lets use 2DD' = 2xx' + 2yy'

Differentiating with respect to t we have:

D•d(D)/dt = -(10)•dx/dt + 100•dy/dt

=100.5 d(D)/dt = (-10)•35 + (100)•25

When t=4, we have x=(140-150) =10 and y=100

= D = sqrt*(10^2 + 100^2)

=100.5

= 100.5 dD/dt = 10.35 +100.25

= dD/dt = 21.29km/h
