43. A rocket sled accelerates at a rate of 49.0m/s2. Its passenger has a mass of 75.0 kg. (a) Calculate the horizontal component

lord [1]

(a) 3675 N

Assuming that the acceleration of the rocket is in the horizontal direction, we can use Newton's second law to solve this part:

$F_x = m a_x$

where

$F_x$ is the horizontal component of the force

m is the mass of the passenger

$a_x$ is the horizontal component of the acceleration

Here we have

m = 75.0 kg

$a_x = 49.0 m/s^2$

Substituting,

$F_x=(75.0)(49.0)=3675 N$

(b) 3748 N, 11.3 degrees above horizontal

In this part, we also have to take into account the forces acting along the vertical direction. In fact, the seat exerts a reaction force (R) which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the passenger:

$R=mg=(75.0)(9.8)=735 N$

where we used

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ as acceleration of gravity.

So, this is the vertical component of the force exerted by the seat on the passenger:

$F_y = 735 N$

and therefore the magnitude of the net force is

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{3675^2+735^2}=3748 N$

And the direction is given by

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{735}{3675})=11.3^{\circ}$

Answer:

14 hours 18 minutes.

Explanation:

ratio of number of orbits, so it completes 7 orbits in the time Janus does 6.

(16*60+41)*6/7=858 minutes or 14 hours 18 minutes

What is the fate of solar radiation that reaches the earth?

expeople1 [14]

When solar radiation reaches the Earth it quickly dissipates as most of the radiation and UV rays are blocked by ozone layer, but more radiation and UV rays are able to get through because of global warming.
