A person of mass 55 kg swings on a rope length 4 m from rest (when the rope makes an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical) and

collides perfectly inelastically with a 70 kg person on the ground when the rope is exactly vertical. Determine the maximum angle the rope makes with the vertical after the 55 kg person picks up the 70 kg person.

Answer:

θ = 19.66°

Explanation:

To determine the angle that the rope makes with the vertical for the two people, you first take into account the potential energy of the first person before he swings on the rope:

U=mgh

h: distance to the ground

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

m: mass of the first person = 55 kg

In the image attache below you can notice that the height h is:

h=4-4cos(30\°)=0.53m

Then, the potential energy is:

U=(55kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.53m)=285.67J

When the first person picks up the second person (when the rope is exactly vertical), all the potential energy becomes kinetic energy. Next, when both people reaches the maximum height h' the energy must be equal to the initial potential energy of the first person:

U'=(m_1+m_2)gh'=285.67\ J

From the previous equation you can get h':

h'=\frac{285.67J}{(55kg+70kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.2332m

Finally, you obtain the angle between the rope at the height h,' and the vertical, by calculating the following:

h'=4-4cos(\theta)\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{4-h'}{4})=cos^{-1}(\frac{4-0.2332}{4})=19.66\°

hence, the angle between the rope and the vertical, when the two people are in the rope is 19.66°

What distance separates Earth and the Sun? A 300,000 km per second B Eight light-minutes C 149 million light-seconds D One light
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

B Eight light-minutes

Explanation:

In the case when the distance separated earth and the sun so here we orbit the sun for a 150 million km distance and the light moves would be 300,000 kilometers per second

Now divide this

= 150 million ÷ 300,000 kilometers per second

= 500 seconds

This 500 seconds represent 8 minutes and 20 seconds

Hence, option B is correct

An airplane of mass 39,043.01 flies horizontally at an altitude of 9.2 km with a constant speed of 335 m/s relative to Earth. Wh
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

1.2 x 10¹¹ kgm²/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the airplane = 39043.01

r = altitude of the airplane = 9.2 km = 9.2 x 1000 m = 9200 m

v = speed of airplane = 335 m/s

L = Angular momentum of airplane

Angular momentum of airplane is given as

L = m v r

Inserting the values

L = (39043.01 ) (335) (9200)

L =  (39043.01 ) (3082000)

L = 1.2 x 10¹¹ kgm²/s

A cubic box has a 0.6 cubic decimetre side. Find the mass of air in the box in gram. (1 Liter of air has a mass of 1.3 g).
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The mass of air in the box is 0.78 grams.

Explanation:

A litre equals a cubic decimetre. By definition of density (\rho), in grams per litre, we calculate the mass of air inside the cube (m), in grams:

m = \rho \cdot V (1)

Where V is the volume occupied by air within the cube, in litres.

If we know that V = 0.6\,L and \rho = 1.3\,\frac{g}{L}, then the mass of air is:

m = \left(1.3\,\frac{g}{L} \right)\cdot (0.6\,L)

m = 0.78\,g

The mass of air in the box is 0.78 grams.

Suppose you are walking in an airliner in-flight use newtons third law to describe the effect of your work on the motion on the
Gwar [14]

According to Newton's 3rd law, for every force applied, there's an equal and opposite force that will occur. So when you are walking , you are pushed forward but the plain is "pushed back" from the force

Explanation:

  • A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. Forces result from interactions.
  • The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.
  • According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other.
  • A variety of action-reaction force pairs are evident in nature.
