Answer:

50 N

4.2 N

Explanation:

i) The force needed to balance the boom is 2400 N. If the weight of the counterbalance is 2350 N, then the downward force the park attendant must apply is 50 N.

ii) When the boom is resting on the end support, the normal force is:

∑τ = Iα

-W (0.50) + F (3.0) − N (6.0) = 0

-0.50 W + 3.0 F = 6.0 N

N = (-0.50 W + 3.0 F) / 6.0

N = (-0.50 × 2350 + 3.0 × 400) / 6.0

N ≈ 4.2

________ occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.

Semenov [28]

The answer would be:
Precipitation sometimes occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
This happens when the air is forced to move from low elevation to high elevation due to rising terrain. This causes the air to cool adiabatically. This increases the relative humidity and causes clouds to form, under certain conditions it can also create precipitation.

If a ball that is 10 meters above the ground is thrown horizontally at 5.51 meters per second. a. how long will it take for the

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

a. t = 1.43 s

b. d = 7.88 m

Explanation:

a. The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{f}$ : is the final height = -10 m

$y_{0}$ : is the initial height = 0

$v_{0_{y}}$ : is the initial speed in the vertical direction = 0

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

By solving the above equation for "t" we have:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{f}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*10 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s$

Hence, the ball will hit the ground in 1.43 s.

b. The distance in the horizontal direction can be found as follows:

$x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

Where:

x₀: is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (it is moving at constant speed)

$x_{f} = 5.51 m/s*1.43 s = 7.88 m$

Therefore, the ball will travel 7.88 m before it hits the ground.

I hope it helps you!

A yellow and green car traveled 400 miles to Dayton, OH. The green car made the trip in 10 hours. The yellow arrived in 8 hours.

elixir [45]

Answer: C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Explanation:

The speed of each car is defined as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the distance traveled by the car and t is the time taken.

For the yellow car, d=400 mi and t=8 h, so its speed is

$v=\frac{400 mi}{8 h}=50 mph$

For the green car, d=400 mi and t=10 h, so its speed is

$v=\frac{400 mi}{10 h}=40 mph$

So, the correct choice is

C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o

dsp73

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

$F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)$

$\Rightarrow F=\frac{d}{dt} (m.v)$

since mass is constant

$F=m\frac{d}{dt}v$

when $dt=10t$

then,

$F'=m.\frac{v}{10\times t}$

$F'=\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{m.v}{t}$

$F'=\frac{F}{10}$ the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.

where:

$\frac{d}{dt} =$ represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time

$p=$ momentum

$m=$ mass of the person jumping

$v=$ velocity of the body while hitting the ground.

Explain why objects moving in fluids must have special shapes ?

Alexus [3.1K]

Explanation:

Fluids exert both drag and lift forces on moving objects. Drag is the frictional force opposing motion. Lift is the force perpendicular to motion.

Some objects, like parachutes, are designed with large cross sectional areas to increase drag force. Usually though, objects are designed to minimize drag force. It's why cars, planes, and boats have sleek shapes.

Airplane wings have shapes called airfoils that generate lift. It's what makes them fly. The same shape is found in racecar spoilers. These spoilers use lift force to push down on the rear tires, increasing traction.
