Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 70 N

Angle, $\theta=50^{\circ}$

Acceleration of the boy, a = 1.8 m/s²

(a) Net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{70}{1.8}\\\\m=38.89\ kg$

(2) Normal force = upward force

So,

$F=mg\cos\theta\\\\F=38.89\times 9.81\times \cos(50)\\F=245.23\ N$

Hence, mass is 38.89 kg and the normal force is 245.23 N.

A heat pump is to be used for heating a house in winter. The house is to be maintained at 70°F at all times. When the temperatur

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$\dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h$

Explanation:

Temperature of the house, $T_{H} = 70^{0} F$

Convert to rankine, $T_{H} = 70^{0}+ 460 = 530 R$

Heat is extracted at 40°F i.e $T_{L} = 40^{0}F = 40 + 460 = 500 R$

Calculate the coefficient of performance of the heat pump, COP

$COP = \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H} - T_{L} } \\COP = \frac{530 }{530 - 500 }\\ COP = \frac{530}{30} \\COP = 17.67$

The minimum power required to run the heat pump is given by the formula:

$\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{\dot{Q_{H} }}{COP} \\$ ...............(*)

Where the heat losses from the house, $\dot{Q_{H} } = 75,000 Btu/h$

Substituting these values into * above

$\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{75000}{17.67} \\ \dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h$

A Neglecting air resistance, a ball projected straight upward so it remains in the air for 10 seconds needs an initial speed of

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

For first half,

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2gh$

$h =\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$ ....(I)

For second half,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$h =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2$

$h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2$

$t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}$

Put the value of h from equation (I)

$t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times v^2}{g^2}}$

$t_{2}=\dfrac{v}{g}$

According to question,

$t_{1}+t_{2}=10$

$t_{1}=t_{2}$

Put the value of t₁ and t₂

$\dfrac{v}{g}+\dfrac{v}{g}=10$

$\dfrac{2v}{g}=10$

$v=\dfrac{10\times g}{2}$

Here, g = 10

The initial velocity is

$v=\dfrac{10\times10}{2}$

$v=50\ m/s$

Hence, The initial velocity is 50 m/s.
