Answer:

Hans is more powerful

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is used up.

The expression for power is given as,

P = E/t

P = mgh/t................. Equation 1

Where P = power, W = Work, t = time, m = mass, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Hans' power

P = mgh/t

Given: m = 100 kg, h = 2 m, g = 9.8 m/s², t = 3 s

Substitute into equation 1

P = 100(9.8)(2)/3

P = 653.33 W.

Frans' power

P' = mgh/t

Given; m = 200 kg, h = 5 m, t = 20 s.

P' = 200(5)(9.8)/20

P' = 9800/20

P' = 490 W

from the above,

since P>P'

Hence, Hans is more powerful

A surgical microscope weighing 200 lb is hung from a ceiling by four springs with stiffness 25 lb/ft. The ceiling has a vibratio
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is   = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Explanation:

The motion of the ceiling is y = Y sinωt

y = 0.05 sin (2 π × 2) t

y = 0.05 sin 4 π t

K = 25 lb/ft  × 4  sorings

K = 100 lb/ft

Amplitude of the microscope  \frac{X}{Y}= [\frac{1+2 \epsilon (\omega/ W_n)^2}{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2+(2 \epsilon  \frac{\omega}{W_n})^2}]

where;

\epsilon = 0

W_n = \sqrt { \frac{k}{m}}

= \sqrt { \frac{100*32.2}{200}}

= 4.0124

replacing them into the above equation and making X the subject of the formula:

X = Y * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2})}}

X = 0.05 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{4 \pi}{4.0124})^2)^2})}}

X = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Therefore; If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is   = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o
dsp73

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching  the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)

\Rightarrow F=\frac{d}{dt} (m.v)

since mass is constant

F=m\frac{d}{dt}v

when dt=10t

then,

F'=m.\frac{v}{10\times t}

F'=\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{m.v}{t}

F'=\frac{F}{10} the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.

where:

\frac{d}{dt} = represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time

p= momentum

m= mass of the person jumping

v= velocity of the body while hitting the ground.

A 50.0 kg person is walking horizontally with constant acceleration of 0.25 m/s² inside an elevator. The elevator is also accele
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The acceleration is in 2 D as in between east and south.

Explanation:

mass, m = 50 kg

acceleration, a = 0.25 m/s^2 horizontal

acceleration of elevator, a' = 1 m/s^2 downwards

When a person on the ground the resultant acceleration of the person with respect to the ground is between east and south direction so the path os parabolic in nature. It graph is shown below:
