A rope pulls a 82.5 kg skier at a constant speed up a 18.7° slope with μk = 0.150. How much force does the rope exert?

Physics

Artist 52 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

374 N

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the skier

m = mass of the skier = 82.5

From the force diagram, force equation perpendicular to the slope is given as

N = mg Cos18.7

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.150

frictional force is given as

f = μN

f =  μmg Cos18.7

F = force applied by the rope

Force equation parallel to the slope is given as

F - f - mg Sin18.7 = 0

F - μmg Cos18.7 - mg Sin18.7 = 0

F = μmg Cos18.7 + mg Sin18.7

F = (0.150 x 82.5 x 9.8) Cos18.7 + (82.5 x 9.8) Sin18.7

F = 374 N

What length of tube would be required to produce a second tone under the same experimental conditions? Explain your answer.
Alisiya [41]

There is an indirect relationship between length and frequency. The longer the length the pipe has, the higher frequency it is. The shorter the length the pipe has, the lower frequency it is.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension, and density. These properties are described below: When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.

The longer the tube is the lower the pitch of the note that it can emit. When a tube is heated it expands and so is longer! As the gas in the tube gets warmer the molecules move faster, that means they can carry the vibrations of the sound wave more rapidly and so the pitch goes up.

A current of 15.0 A flows through an electric heater operating on 120 V. Compute the power consumption of the electric heater.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

There will be 1800 W power consumption in heater

Explanation:

We have given current flowing in the heater I = 15 A

Voltage on which heater is operating V = 120 volt

We have to find the power consumption in the heater

We know that power consumption is given by P = VI

So power consumption in heater = 120 × 15 = 1800 W

So there will be 1800 W power consumption in heater

A plant box falls from the windowsill 25.0 m above the sidewalk and hits the cement 3.0 s later. What is the box's velocity when
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to
katovenus [111]
The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.

Ron fills a beaker with glycerin (n = 1.473) to a depth of 5.0 cm. if he looks straight down through the glycerin surface, he wi
Tju [1.3M]

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}

here we know that

\mu_1 = 1.473

h_o = 5 cm

\mu_2 = 1

now by above formula

\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}

h_i = 3.39 cm

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm
