The stair stepper is a novel exercise machine that attempts to reproduce the work done against gravity by walking up stairs. Wit

h each step, Brad (of mass 60 kg) simulates stepping up a vertical distance of 0.2 m with this machine. If Brad exercises for 13 min per day with a stair stepper at a frequency of 50 steps per minute, what total work he does he do each day

Answer:

W = 76518 J = 76.518 KJ

Explanation:

First, we will find the total number of steps taken by Brad, as follows:

No.\ of\ steps = n = (13\ min)(50\ steps/min) = 650\ steps\\

Now, we will calculate the height covered while covering these number of steps:

Height\ Covered = H = (n)(Height\ for\ 1\ step)\\\\H = (0.2\ m/step)(650\ steps)\\H = 130\ m

Now, we will calculate the amount of work done while covering this distance:

Work = W = mgH = \\W = (60\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)(130\ m)

<u>W = 76518 J = 76.518 KJ</u>

An object experiences an impulse, moves and attains a momentum of 200 kg·m/s. If its mass is 50 kg, what is its velocity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the object in this problem, we know:

p = 200 kg m/s is the momentum

m = 50 kg is the mass

Solving for the velocity, we find:

v=\frac{p}{m}=\frac{200}{50}=4 m/s

A 20 μF capacitor initially charged to 30 μC is discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Part A How long does it take to reduce the
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

it will take 36.12 ms to reduce the capacitor's charge to 10 μC

Explanation:

Qi= C×V

then:

Vi = Q/C = 30μ/20μ = 1.5 volts

and:

Vf = Q/C = 10μ/20μ = 0.5 volts

then:

v = v₀e^(–t/τ)  

v₀ is the initial voltage on the cap  

v is the voltage after time t  

R is resistance in ohms,  

C is capacitance in farads  

t is time in seconds  

RC = τ = time constant  

τ = 20µ x 1.5k = 30 ms  

v = v₀e^(t/τ)  

0.5 = 1.5e^(t/30ms)  

e^(t/30ms) = 10/3  

t/30ms = 1.20397

t = (30ms)(1.20397) = 36.12 ms

Therefore, it will take 36.12 ms to reduce the capacitor's charge to 10 μC.
