Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite

ends of the same rope and pull the other toward him. The magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration. What is the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass?

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
kobusy [5.1K]
The false statement would be :
C. constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another and their individual effects are reduced or cancelled out.

Constructive interference should be when the crest of one wave overlaps another and their individual effects are add up, becoming a single wave of increased amplitude<span />

The mass of a ship before launch is 55,000 metric tons. The ship is launched down a ramp and drops a total of 10 vertical meters
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

ΔT = 17.11 °C

Explanation:

In this case, we have a ship standing on a place with a given mass and it's about to be launched to a lock containing water.

At first, before launch, the ship has a potential energy, and when the ship hits the water after being launched, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

So, let's calculate first the potential energy of the ship:

E = mgh   (1)

We have the mass, gravity and height, so we need to replace the given data here. Before we do that, let's remember to use the correct units. A ton is 1000 kg, so replacing and converting we have:

E = (55000 ton * 1000 kg/ton) * (9.8 m/s²) * 10 m

E = 5.39x10⁹ J

Now this energy will be the same when the ship hits the water, only that is kinetic energy that will result in the rise of temperature. To get this rise we use the following expression:

E = m * C * ΔT   (2)

We have the energy, the mass of water (assuming density of water as 1 kg/m³) and the specific heat, so, replacing in (2) and solving for ΔT we have:

ΔT = E / m * C    (3)

ΔT = 5.39x10⁹ / 4200 * 75000

<h2>ΔT = 17.11 °C</h2>

Hope this helps

A 50 g mass is freely hanging from a horizontal meter stick at a distance of 99 cm from the pivot. Calculate the weight force W
Neko [114]

Answer:

W = 0.49 N

τ = 0.4851 Nm

Force

Explanation:

The weight force can be found as:

W = mg

W = (0.05 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>W = 0.49 N</u>

The torque about the pivot can be found as:

τ = W*d

where,

τ = torque

d = distance between weight and pivot = 99 cm = 0.99 m

Therefore,

τ = (0.49 N)(0.99 m)

<u>τ = 0.4851 Nm</u>

The pivot exerts a  <u>FORCE </u>on the meter stick because the pivot applies force normally over the stick and has a zero distance from stick.

On a production possibilities curve, any point that falls outside the frontier line is considered
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) is a model used to show the tradeoffs associated with allocating resources between the production of two goods. The PPC can be used to illustrate the concepts of scarcity, opportunity cost, efficiency, inefficiency, economic growth, and contractions.
