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

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

d=\frac{1.22\times 640\times 10^{-9}\times 21.7}{7.35\times 10^{-2}}=2305.21\times 10^{-7}m

Explanation:

The expression which represent the first diffraction minima by a circular aperture is given by d sin\Theta =1.22\lambda--------eqn 1

The angle through which the first minima is diffracted is given by tan\Theta =\frac{y_1}{D}---------eqn 2

As \Theta is very small so we can write sin\Theta =tan\Theta

So from eqn 1 and eqn 2 we can write

y_1=\frac{1.22\lambda D}{d}--------eqn 3

Here y_1 is the position of first maxima D is the distance of screen from the circular aperture d is the diameter of aperture

It is given that diameter of circular aperture is 14.7 cm so y_1=\frac{14.7}{2}=7.35 \ cm

Now putting all these value in eqn 3

d=\frac{1.22\lambda D}{y_1}

d=\frac{1.22\times 640\times 10^{-9}\times 21.7}{7.35\times 10^{-2}}=2305.21\times 10^{-7}m

Two round concentric metal wires lie on a tabletop, one inside the other. The inner wire has a diameter of 18.0 cm and carries a
Helen [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The wires are in circular shape . They have common center .

magnetic field due to circular wire is given by the formula

B = \frac{\mu_0\times I }{2r}

 where I is current , r is radius of the coil .

magnetic field due to inner wire

= \frac{\mu_0\times 10 }{2\times.09}

magnetic field due to outer wire

= \frac{\mu_0\times I }{2\times.15}

These should be equal  and opposite so that by cancelling each other , they create zero field.

\frac{\mu_0\times 10 }{2\times.09}  = \frac{\mu_0\times I }{2\times.15}

I = 16.66  A

Direction of current should be in opposite direction ie anticlockwise when looking from above.

suppose the ball has the smallest possible frequency that allows it to go all the way around the circle. what tension in the str
tatyana61 [14]

The complete question is missing, so i have attached the complete question.

Answer:

A) FBD is attached.

B) The condition that must be satisfied is for ω_min = √(g/r)

C) The tension in the string would be zero. This is because at the smallest frequency, the only radially inward force at that point is the weight(force of gravity).

Explanation:

A) I've attached the image of the free body diagram.

B) The formula for the net force is given as;

F_net = mv²/r

We know that angular velocity;ω = v/r

Thus;

F_net = mω²r

Now, the minimum downward force is the weight and so;

mg = m(ω_min)²r

m will cancel out to give;

g = (ω_min)²r

(ω_min)² = g/r

ω_min = √(g/r)

The condition that must be satisfied is for ω_min = √(g/r)

C) The tension in the string would be zero. This is because at the smallest frequency, the only radially inward force at that point is the weight(force of gravity).

The velocity of the water in the pipe at right is given by V1 = 0.5t m/s and V2 = 1.0t m/s, where t is in seconds. Determine the
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A) At point 1, local acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, local acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

B) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.

Explanation:

Local acceleration at those points is the instantaneous acceleration at those points and it is given as

a = dv/dt

At point 1, v₁ = 0.5 t

a₁ =dv₁/dt = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, v₂ = 1.0 t

a₂ = dv₂/dt = 1.0 m/s²

b) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = (change of velocity between the two points)/time

Change of velocity between the two points = v₂ - v₁ = 1.0t - 0.5t = 0.5 t

Time = t

Average acceleration = 0.5t/t = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.
