Megan tries to open a door, but she is unable to push at a right angle to the door. So, she pushes the door at an angle of 55º f

rom the perpendicular. How much harder would she have to push to open the door just as fast as if she were to push it at 90º

Let say torque required to open the door when force is applied at 90 degree is given by T

\tau = \vec r \times \vec F

\tau = rFsin\theta

\tau = rFsin90 = rF

now if she is not able to apply force perpendicular but she can apply some harder force to open the door at 55 degree from perpendicular

now we can say

\tau = rF'sin\theta

\tau = rF' sin(90 - 55)

now we know that it requires same torque in order to open the door

so we will use the equation

rF = rF'sin35

F' = \frac{F}{sin35} = 1.74 F

so it requires 1.74 times more force in this case

A place kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. half the crowd hopes the ball will clear
trapecia [35]
<span>The ball clears by 11.79 meters Let's first determine the horizontal and vertical velocities of the ball. h = cos(50.0)*23.4 m/s = 0.642788 * 23.4 m/s = 15.04 m/s v = sin(50.0)*23.4 m/s = 0.766044 * 23.4 m/s = 17.93 m/s Now determine how many seconds it will take for the ball to get to the goal. t = 36.0 m / 15.04 m/s = 2.394 s The height the ball will be at time T is h = vT - 1/2 A T^2 where h = height of ball v = initial vertical velocity T = time A = acceleration due to gravity So plugging into the formula the known values h = vT - 1/2 A T^2 h = 17.93 m/s * 2.394 s - 1/2 9.8 m/s^2 (2.394 s)^2 h = 42.92 m - 4.9 m/s^2 * 5.731 s^2 h = 42.92 m - 28.0819 m h = 14.84 m Since 14.84 m is well above the crossbar's height of 3.05 m, the ball clears. It clears by 14.84 - 3.05 = 11.79 m</span>

How does kinetic energy connect or relate to Newtons second law of motion?
Orlov [11]
Newtons second law of motion: "T<span>he acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object."

kinetic energy is energy that an object posses while in motion and to get that it must have potential energy.</span>
