A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below

the rim. A student (majoring in lin- guistics and physics) decides to perform a rescue/experiment using a nearby horse. After lowering a rope to her fallen hero and attaching the other end to the horse, the student measures how long it takes for the horse to pull the fallen physicist to the rim of the Grand Canyon.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J

Power is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds

A ramp leading to the entrance of a building is inclied upward at an angle of 7 degree. A suitcase is to be pulled up the ramp b
photoshop1234 [79]

Explanation:

The angle of the handle relative to the horizontal is 35°.  The angle of the ramp to the horizontal is 7°.  So the angle of the handle relative to the ramp is 28°.

cos 28° = 50 / F

F = 50 / cos 28°

F = 56.6 lbs

When a person falls from certain height on cemented floor, he receives more injuries why​
monitta

Explanation:

When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)

If two micro coulomb of charge is flowing in a circuit for 5 minutes. What is the amount of current in the circuit?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

6.67×10¯⁹ A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Quantity of electricity (Q) = 2 μC

Time (t) = 5 mins

Current (I) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 μC to C. This can be obtained as follow:

1 μC = 1×10¯⁶ C

Therefore,

2 μC = 2 μC × 1×10¯⁶ C / 1 μC

2 μC = 2×10¯⁶ C

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 secs

Therefore,

5 min = 5 min × 60 sec / 1 min

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the current in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Quantity of electricity (Q) = 2×10¯⁶ C

Time (t) = 300 s

Current (I) =?

Q = It

2×10¯⁶ = I × 300

Divide both side by 300

I = 2×10¯⁶ / 300

I = 6.67×10¯⁹ A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 6.67×10¯⁹ A
