Starting from rest, a 88-kg firefighter slides down a fire pole. The average frictional force exerted on him by the pole has a m

Cloud [144]

Answer:h=7.22 m

Explanation:

Given

mass of firefighter $m=88 kg$

Frictional Force $F=800 N$

average speed at bottom $v=3.2 m/s$

Let h be the height of Pole

net force on Firefighter is

$F_{net}=88\times 9.8-800=62.4$

therefore net acceleration is

$a_{net}=\frac{62.4}{88}=0.709 m/s^2$

using $v^2-u^2=2ah$

here $v=3.2 m/s$

$u=0$

$(3.2)^2-0=2\times 0.709\times h$

$h=\frac{10.24}{1.418}$

$h=7.22 m$

A simple pendulum consists of a 4.9-kg mass attached to a string. The pendulum is pulled to the right and held at rest so that i

aniked [119]

Answer:

6.384 m/ $sec^{2}$

Explanation:

The velocity is given by;

We know;

PE= mgh

KE= 1/2 m $V^{2}$

but KE=PE

==> 1/2 m $V^{2}$ =mgh

==> 1/2 $V^{2}$ =gh

==> $v=\sqrt{2gh}$

puting g=9.8 m/sec2

h=2.08 m

==> $v= 6.384 m/sec^{2}$ =

Energy is transferred as the heat between two objects, one with a temperature of 5 C and the other with a temperature of 20 C. I

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Final temperature is located between 5 °C and 20 °C.

Explanation:

The object with high temperature transfers energy to the object with low temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached, that is, when both objects have the same temperature.

$Q_{H} = -Q_{L}$

$C_{H}\cdot (20^{\textdegree}C - T) = -C_{L}\cdot (5^{\textdegree}C-T)$

$20\cdot C_{H} - C_{H}\cdot T = -5\cdot C_{L}+ C_{L}\cdot T$

$(C_{H}+C_{L})\cdot T=20\cdot C_{H} + 5\cdot C_{L}$

$T = 20\cdot\frac{C_{H}}{C_{L}+C_{H}} + 5\cdot \frac{C_{L}}{C_{L}+C_{H}}$

Now, let consider three scenarios:

Scenario 1 - $C_{H} = C_{L]$

$T = 12.5^{\textdegree}C$

Scenario 2 - $C_{H}>> C_{L}$

$T = 20^{\textdegree}C$

Scenario 3 - $C_{H}$

$T = 5^{\textdegree}C$

Final temperature is located between 5 °C and 20 °C.
