The force of friction = (weight) x (coefficient of friction)

Skier's weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (76.5) x (9.8) = 749.7 N

Force of friction = (749.7) x (coefficient of friction) = 60.0 N

Coefficient of friction = 60 / 749.7 = <u>0.08 </u> (rounded)

Choice-'A' is the closest choice offered.

A 65-kg bungee jumper, who is attached to one end of an 85-m long bungee cord that has its other end tied to a bridge, jumps off
irinina [24]

Answer:

The impulse delivered to the bungee jumper is 1.32 kN.s

Explanation:

The situation can be shown graphically as shown in the figure.

Impulse delivered to the bungee jumper = Area under the curve.

The curve represents a triangle and the area of traiangle = (1/2)base×height

The base of the triangle from the graph = 1.2 seconds.

The height of the triangle from the graph = 2.2 kN

Thus,

<u>Impulse = (1/2)×(1.2 seconds)×(2.2 kN) = 1.32 kN.s</u>

Please help !!!!!!!!!!
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Lighthouse 1 during the day will be warmer, lighthouse 2 during the night will be warmer.

Explanation:

As the paragraph stated land absorbs heat and heats up faster than water. So during the day the lighthouse farthest away from the water will be hotter. But then the converse is true also land losses heat faster than water at night. So the water retains the heat from the day better making the lighthouse by the water warmer at night.

A single strain gage has a nominal resistance of 120 ohm. For a quarter bridge with 120 ohm fixed resistors, strain gauge factor
natita [175]

Answer:

Output voltage is 1.507 mV

Solution:

As per the question:

Nominal resistance, R = 120\Omega

Fixed resistance, R = 120\Omega

Gauge Factor, G.F = 2.01

Supply Voltage, V_{s} = 3\ V

Strain, \epsilon = 1000\times 10^{-6}\ strain

Now,

To calculate the output voltage, V_{o}:

WE know that strain is given by:

\epsilon = \frac{(R + R')^{2}V_{o}}{RR'V_{s}\times G.F}

Thus

V_{o} = \frac{RR'V_{s}\epsilon \times G.F}{(R + R')^{2}}

Now, substituting the suitable values in the above eqn:

V_{o} = \frac{120\times 120\times 3\times 1000\times 10^{-6}\times 2.01}{(120 + 120)^{2}}

V_{o} = 1.507\ mV
