In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land

hard on the floor. Suppose the victim falls by 0.40 m, the mass that moves downward is 63.0 kg, and the collision on the floor lasts 0.0830 s. What are the magnitudes of the (a) impulse and (b) average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?

Answer:

(a) \vec{J}=176.4\frac{kg*m}{s} \hat{j}

(b) F=2125.30N

Explanation:

(a) According to the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy of the person at 0.40 m is equal to its kinetic energy before the colision with the floor:

\Delta U=\Delta K\\mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\v=\sqrt{2gh}\\v=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(0.40m)}\\v=2.8\frac{m}{s}

This is the initial velocity in the negative y-direction. Impulse is given by:

\vec{J}=\Delta \vec{p}\\\vec{J}=m\vec{v_f}-m\vec{v_i}\\\vec{J}=63kg(0 \hat{j})-63kg(-2.8\frac{m}{s} \hat{j})\\\vec{J}=176.4\frac{kg*m}{s} \hat{j}

(b) The average force is:

F=\frac{J}{\Delta t}\\F=\frac{176.4\frac{kg*m}{s}}{0.083s}\\F=2125.30N

The speed of a car increases uniformly from 6 m/s to 42 m/s in 9 second calculate the acceleration of the car​
djyliett [7]

The acceleration of the car​ which changes the speed uniformly is 4 m/s²

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate change of velocity with time.

acceleration a = (Δv) / (Δt)

Given is the initial velocity 6m/s and final velocity 42m/s, the time take fir this change in speed is 9s.

Substitute the values, we have

a = (42-6)/9

a = 36/9

a =4 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration is 4 m/s²

An object with mass M is attached to the
zysi [14]

Answer:

W = 5/4 Mgℓ

Explanation:

Sum of forces:

∑F = ma

T − Mg = M (g/4)

T = 5/4 Mg

Work = force × distance

W = Tℓ

W = 5/4 Mgℓ

Which of the following is MOST useful to scientists in measuring the size of asteroids?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:c-The gravitational effect when spacecraft flies close to the asteriod

Explanation:

Gravitational effect on the spacecraft gives an estimate that how big is the asteroid by experiencing its gravitational pull.

The amount of extra thrust required to maintain the trajectory of the spacecraft during its motion hints at the scientist about the size of the asteroid.

Gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of object so greater the mass, greater will be the pull.

The electron gun in a television tube accelerates electrons (mass = 9.11x10^-31 kg, charge = 1.6 x 10^-19C) from rest to 3 x10^7
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Electric field acting on the electron is  127500 N/C.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Charge on electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electron, v=3\times 10^7\ m/s

Distance covered, s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We need to find the electric field required. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron from third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2-0}{2\times 0.02}

a=2.25\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

According to Newton's law, force acting on the electron is given by :

F = ma

F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2.25\times 10^{16}

F=2.04\times 10^{-14}\ N

Electric force is given by :

F = q E, E = electric field

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{2.04\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

E = 127500 N/C

So, the electric field is 127500 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.
