Two horses on opposite sides of a narrow stream are pulling a barge up the stream. Each hors pulls with a force of 720N. The rop

es from the horses meet at a common point on the front of he barge. What is the resultant force exerted by the two horses if the angle between the rope is 60 degrees?

For the answer to the question above, each horse's force forms a right angle triangle with the barge and subtends an angle of 60/2 = 30°. The resultant in the direction of the barge's motion is:
Fx = Fcos(∅)
We can multiply this by 2 to find the resultant of both horses.
Fx = 2Fcos(∅)
Fx = 2 x 720cos(30)
Fx = 1247 N

A proton moving at 8.00 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.72 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1

gladu [14]

Answer:

19.1 deg

Explanation:

v = speed of the proton = 8 x 10⁶ m/s

B = magnitude of the magnetic field = 1.72 T

q = magnitude of charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

F = magnitude of magnetic force on the proton = 7.20 x 10⁻¹³ N

θ = Angle between proton's velocity and magnetic field

magnitude of magnetic force on the proton is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

7.20 x 10⁻¹³ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (8 x 10⁶) (1.72) Sinθ

Sinθ = 0.327

θ = 19.1 deg

An ant travels 2.78 cm (West) and then turns and travels 6.25 cm (South 40 degrees East). What is the ant's total displacement?

$From\ cosine\ theorem:\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\angle between\ a\ and\ b)\\\\
a=2,78\\b=6,25\\
\angle between\ a\ and\ b=90+50=140^{\circ}\\\\
c^2=2,78^2+6,25^2-2*2,78*6,25cos(140^{\circ})\\\\

Usain Bolt's world-record 100 m sprint on August 16, 2009, has been analyzed in detail. At the start of the race, the 94.0 kg Bo

ZanzabumX [31]

a) 893 N

b) 8.5 m/s

c) 3816 W

d) 69780 J

e) 8030 W

Explanation:

a)

The net force acting on Bolt during the acceleration phase can be written using Newton's second law of motion:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

m is Bolt's mass

a is the acceleration

In the first 0.890 s of motion, we have

m = 94.0 kg (Bolt's mass)

$a=9.50 m/s^2$ (acceleration)

So, the net force is

$F_{net}=(94.0)(9.50)=893 N$

And according to Newton's third law of motion, this force is equivalent to the force exerted by Bolt on the ground (because they form an action-reaction pair).

b)

Since Bolt's motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can find his final speed by using the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

In the first phase of Bolt's race we have:

u = 0 m/s (he starts from rest)

$a=9.50 m/s^2$ (acceleration)

t = 0.890 s (duration of the first phase)

Solving for v,

$v=0+(9.50)(0.890)=8.5 m/s$

c)

First of all, we can calculate the work done by Bolt to accelerate to a speed of

v = 8.5 m/s

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy, so

$W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-0$

where

m = 94.0 kg is Bolt's mass

v = 8.5 m/s is Bolt's final speed after the first phase

$K_i = 0 J$ is the initial kinetic energy

So the work done is

$W=\frac{1}{2}(94.0)(8.5)^2=3396 J$

The power expended is given by

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where

t = 0.890 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

$P=\frac{3396}{0.890}=3816 W$

d)

First of all, we need to find what is the average force exerted by Bolt during the remaining 8.69 s of motion.

In the first 0.890 s, the force exerted was

$F_1=893 N$

We know that the average force for the whole race is

$F_{avg}=820 N$

Which can be rewritten as

$F_{avg}=\frac{0.890 F_1 + 8.69 F_2}{0.890+8.69}$

And solving for $F_2$ , we find the average force exerted by Bolt on the ground during the second phase:

$F_{avg}=\frac{0.890 F_1 + 8.69 F_2}{0.890+8.69}\\F_2=\frac{(0.890+8.69)F_{avg}-0.890F_1}{8.69}=812.5 N$

The net force exerted by Bolt during the second phase can be written as

$F_{net}=F_2-D$ (1)

where D is the air drag.

The net force can also be rewritten as

$F_{net}=ma$

where

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$ is the acceleration in the second phase, with

u = 8.5 m/s is the initial speed

v = 12.4 m/s is the final speed

t = 8.69 t is the time elapsed

Substituting,

$a=\frac{12.4-8.5}{8.69}=0.45 m/s^2$

So we can now find the average drag force from (1):

$D=F_2-F_{net}=F_2-ma=812.5 - (94.0)(0.45)=770.2 N$

So the increase in Bolt's internal energy is just equal to the work done by the drag force, so:

$\Delta E=W=Ds$

where

d is Bolt's displacement in the second part, which can be found by using suvat equation:

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{12.4^2-8.5^2}{2(0.45)}=90.6 m$

And so,

$\Delta E=Ds=(770.2)(90.6)=69780 J$

e)

The power that Bolt must expend just to voercome the drag force is given by

$P=\frac{\Delta E}{t}$

where

$\Delta E$ is the increase in internal energy due to the air drag

t is the time elapsed

Here we have:

$\Delta E=69780 J$

t = 8.69 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

$P=\frac{69780}{8.69}=8030 W$

And we see that it is about twice larger than the power calculated in part c.
