Ivenika [448]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

A. 58.8m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s², so the velocity after 6 seconds is ...

v = at

v = (9.8 m/s²)(6 s) = 58.8 m/s

An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold weighing 500 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would t

Lynna [10]

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Weight of billboard worker = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension in rope = 550 N

The sum of the torques will be

$-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m$

The position of the person will be 2.5 m

Please HELP ME If the motion of an object changes, what must be true about the forces acting on that object?

atroni [7]

Answer:

If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will have an acceleration and the object's velocity will change. ... Newton's second law states that for a particular force, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.

mario62 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

<u>Explanation:</u>

a) We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

A 12-volt automotive circuit has a current of 3 amps. Technician A says the electric power in this circuit is 36 watts. Technici

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Technician A is right.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of circuit, V = 12 volt

Current in the circuit, I = 3 A

Technician A says the electric power in this circuit is 36 watts. Technician B says the electric power in this circuit is 4 watts. We need to say that which technician is correct.

The power of any circuit is given by :

$P=V\times I$

$P=12\ V\times 3\ A$

P = 36 watts

So, technician A is right. Hence, this is the required solution.
