The final speed of the object is 15.3 m/s

Explanation:

The object in the problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (it is in free fall), so we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

s is the vertical displacement

For the object in this problem:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

s = 12 m is the displacement of the object

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(12)}=15.3 m/s

An Atwood machine is constructed using a hoop with spokes of negligible mass. The 2.3 kg mass of the pulley is concentrated on i
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a = 2.77~{\rm m/s^2}

Explanation:

Since the pulley has a mass concentrated on its rim, the pulley can be considered as a ring.

The moment of inertia of a ring is

I = mr^2 = (2.3)(23.5\times 10^{-2})^2 = 0.127

The mass on the left is heavier, that is the pulley is rotating counterclockwise.

By Newton's Second Law, the net torque is equal to moment of inertia times angular acceleration.

\tau = I \alpha

Here, the net torque is the sum of the weight on the left and the weight on the right.

\tau = m_1gR - m_2gR = (1.65)(9.8)(23.5\times 10^{-2}) - (1)(9.8)(23.5\times 10^{-2}) = 1.497~{\rm Nm}

Applying Newton's Second Law gives the angular acceleration

\tau = I\alpha\\1.497 = 0.127\alpha\\\alpha = 11.78~{\rm rad/s^2}

The relation between angular acceleration and linear acceleration is

a = \alpha R

Then, the linear acceleration of the masses is

a = 11.78 \times 23.5\times 10^{-2} = 2.77~{\rm m/s^2}

A 75.0 kg diver falls from rest into a swimming pool from a height of 5.10 m. It takes 1.34 s for the diver to stop after enteri
vichka [17]

Answer:

559.5 N

Explanation:

Applying,

v² = u²+2gs............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity,

From the question,

Given: s = 5.10 m, u = 0 m/s ( from rest)

Constant: 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

v² = 0²+2×9.8×5.1

v² = 99.96

v = √(99.96)

v = 9.99 m/s

As the diver eneters the water,

u = 9.99 m/s, v = 0 m/s

Given: t = 1.34 s

Apply

a = (v-u)/t

a = 9.99/1.34

a = -7.46 m/s²

F = ma.............. Equation 2

Where F = force, m = mass

Given: m = 75 kg, a = -7.46 m/s²,

F = 75(-7.46)

F = -559.5 N

Hence the average force exerted on the diver is 559.5 N
