To hoist himself into a tree, a 72.0-kg man ties one end of a nylon rope around his waist and throws the other end over a branch

of the tree. he then pulls downward on the free end of the rope with a force of 371 n. neglect any friction between the rope and the branch, and determine the manâs upward acceleration. use g =9.80 m/sec2.

<span>0.506 m/s^2 Given the arrangement of rope and the man, he's effectively suspended by a rope from a frictionless pulley. So he's pulling the rope with a force of 371 n causing him to be pulled upwards by his arms. Additionally, the rope goes up to the pulley and back down to the man causing an additional 371 n of force pulling him upwards. So the total force being used to lift the man is 742 n. Additionally, the man is being pulled downwards by gravity at 9.80 m/s^2. And since he masses 72.0 kg, the downward force in newtons is 72.0 kg * 9.80 m/s^2 = 705.6 n downward. So the total force being exerted on the man is 742 n - 705.6 n = 36.4 n To calculate his acceleration, simply divide the number of newtons applied by his mass. 36.4 kg m/s^2 / 72.0 kg = 0.505556 m/s^2 And round to 3 significant figures. 0.505556 m/s^2 = 0.506 m/s^2</span>

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}

z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t

For t = 4 s:

\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s
