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 light string is wrapped around the edge of the smaller disk, and a 1.50 kg block is suspended from the free end of the string.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: 7.41 m/s

Explanation: By using the law of of energy, kinetic energy of the brick as it falls equals the potential energy before falling.

Kinetic energy = mv²/2, potential energy = mgh

mv²/2 = mgh

v²/2 = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

Where g = 9.8 m/s², h = 2.80m

v = √2×9.8×2.8 = 7.41 m/s

**Fill in the blanks**
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Word for the first blank: gravity

Word for the second blank: matter

Explanation:

The only way debris from the impact with Earth can be held close to Earth is due to a force. The only force that could be acting from Earth is "the force of gravity".

The gravitational pull of this new object being formed, increases proportional to its mass as more and more "matter" accumulates. And the accretion process is now on its way.

If both mass and speed are doubled, what happens to its momentum?
puteri [66]

The general formula is:      Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

I never like to just write a bunch of algebra without explaining it.
But in this particular case, there's really not much to say, and
I think the algebra will pretty well explain itself.  I hope so:


Original momentum = (original mass) x (original speed)


New momentum = (2 x original mass) x (2 x original speed)

                           = (2) x (original mass) x (2) x (original speed)

                           = (2) x (2) x (original mass) x (original speed)

                           =  (4) x (original mass) x (original speed)

                           =  (4) x (original momentum).

A student believes a metal rod will gain a negative static charge when
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

no, when a plastic rod is rubbed with a duster, electrons are transferred from one material to the other. The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. The material that loses electrons becomes positively charged.
