Answer:

h = 157.70 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5.5 kg

Gravitational potential energy = 8500 Joules

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the height of the object;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

$G.P.E = mgh$

Where;

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

8500 = 5.5*9.8*h

8500 = 53.9h

h = 8500/53.9

h = 157.70 m

Answer:

- the speed of a person "stuck" to the wall is 14.8 m/s

- the normal force of the wall on a rider of m=54kg is 1851 N

- the minimum coefficient of friction needed between the wall and the person is 0.29

Explanation:

Given information:

the radius of the cylindrical room, R = 6.4 m

the room spin with frequency, ω = 22.1 rev/minutes = 22.1 $\frac{2\pi }{60}$ = 2.31 rad/s

mass of rider, m = 54 kg

the speed of a person "stuck" to the wall

v = ω R

= 2.31 x 6.4

= 14.8 m/s

the normal force of the wall on a rider

F = m a

a = ω^2 R

= $\frac{v^{2} }{R^{2} }$ R

= $\frac{v^{2} }{R}$

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{R}$

= $\frac{(54)(14.8)^{2} }{6.4}$

= 1851 N

the minimum coefficient of friction needed between the wall and the person

F(friction) = μ N

W = μ N

m g = μ $\frac{mv^{2} }{R}$

g = μ $\frac{v^{2} }{R}$

μ = $\frac{gR}{v^{2} }$

= $\frac{(9.8) (6.4)}{14.8^{2} }$

= 0.29

CCL4 is Non polar and NH3 is Polar? Why?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

CCL4 is non polar cause' they are equal covalent bonds between carbon and chlorine.
The electronegativity difference between hydrogen and nitrogen is about .9 which is a pretty polar bond. So each N-H bond is definitely polar. But NH3 is also asymmetrical .
