a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

a)

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight (W=mg): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force (F_A): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag (R): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

b)

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=3.1 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N

c)

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

F_{net}=F_a-R

where:

F_{net} is the net force

F_a is the applied force (forward)

R is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

F_{net}=186 N is the net force (found in part b)

R=60 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for F_a, we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N

ehidna [41]

Answer:

(a) Area(small piston)/Area(large piston) = 0.037

(b) h = 1336.36 cm = 13.36 m

Explanation:

(a)

The stress on the smaller piston is equally transmitted to the larger piston, in a hydraulic lift. Therefore,

Stress (small piston) = Stress (large piston)

Force (small piston)/Area (small piston) = Force (Large Piston)/Area (Large Piston)

Area(small piston)/Area(large piston) = Force (small piston)/Force(Large piston)

Area(small piston)/Area(large piston) = 550 N/(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Area(small piston)/Area(large piston) = 0.037</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The work is also transmitted equally to the large piston. So,

Work(small piston) = Work(Large Piston)

Force(small piston).Displacement(small piston) = Force(large piston).Displacement(small piston)

(550 N)(h) = (1500 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(50 cm)

h = 735000 N.cm/550 N

<u>h = 1336.36 cm = 13.36 m</u>

A car traveling at 50 m/s uniformly accelerates to 60 m/s over an 58 second interval. What is the displacement?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

here u = 50m/s

v = 60m/s

t = 58 s

then a = (60-50)/58 m/s2

= 0.17m/s2

now s= ut+1/2at2

so , 50×58+0.5×0.17×(58)^2 m

= 3185.94 m

= 3.18 km

The centripetal force acting on a satellite in orbit
krok68 [10]

The centripetal force (of gravity) on a satellite in orbit is an
unbalanced force (because there's no equal force pulling
the satellite away from Earth), changes the direction of the
satellite (into a closed orbit instead of a straight line), and
always acts toward the center of whatever curve the satellite
happens to be on at the moment.

A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 2.04×10−14 N toward the south.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part A:

E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

Explanation:

Part A:

Magnitude if electric field E:

E=Force/charge

Force=2.04×10−14 N

Charge=1.6×10−19 C

E=\frac{2.04*10^{-14}}{1.6*10^{-19}} \\E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

As electron is experiencing the force towards south,it means the direction of the electric field is towards the south because direction of field lines is from positive to negative, so proton is moving towards south it means negative charge is in south to which proton is attracted. So electric field is towards South.
