What must be the reaction force when someone hits a tree with an axe?

Physics
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: The correct option is that the axe handle applying a force to the person's hand.

Explanation:

This reaction force is due to Newton's third law of motion. This law states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction to it. This implies that when a force is being exerted on a surface, the surface must exert a force that is equal and opposite in direction to the exerting force. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature that forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

A typical example of Newton's third law includes:

--> When you hit a tree with an axe: with your hand you exert a force on the tree with the intention to cut it down(action force). The same force you excreted on the tree would be felt in your hands (reaction force).

--> when air rushes out of a balloon: when air escapes for a balloon, the opposite reaction is that the balloon flies up.

Two platoons line up for a tug of war. If both platoons have the same number of participants on a team, what other factor is cri
Serga [27]
The best answer is C) total mass of the team. 

In tug of war, the mass of each team is a critical factor in determining which side wins. The team with greater mass will require greater force to move, and also is likely able to exert greater force on the other team due to the correlation between strength and mass.

A bucket that weighs 6 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 80 ft deep. The bucket is f
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well is 3,360 ft-lb

Explanation:

Given

Weight = 6 lb

Depth = 80ft

Weight of Water = 40lb

Rate = 2ft/s

Leak Rate = 0.2ft/s

Calculating Workdone to lift the bucket

Work = Force * Distance

Work = 6 * 80

Work = 480ft-lb

At time t, the bucket is xi = 2t above the original depth of 80ft.

t = ½xi

But it now holds 40lb - 0.2t lb of water

= 40 - 0.2(½xi)

= 40 - 0.1xi.

This is the size of the water when it is x ft above the original depth.

To move this amount of water, we need (40 - 0.1xi)∆x

So, W = ∫(40 - 0.1xi)∆x {1,n}

Where n = 80

W = ∫(40 - 0.1x)dx {0,80}

W = 40x - ½(0.1x²) {0,80}

W = 40x - x²/20 {0,80}

W = 40(80) - 80²/20

W = 3200 - 320

W = 2880 ft-lb

The work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well = 2880 + 480

= 3,360 ft-lb

A 0.050 kg metal bolt is heated to an unknown initial temperature. It is then dropped into calorimeter containing 0.15 kg of wat
Pachacha [2.7K]

The initial temperature of the metal bolt is 80.8 °C

We'll begin by calculating the heat absorbed by the water.

  • Mass of water (M) = 0.15 Kg
  • Initial temperature (T₁) = 21 °C
  • Final temperature (T₂) = 25 °C
  • Change in temperature (ΔT)  = T₂ – T₁ = 25 – 21 = 4 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of water (C) = 4184 J/KgºC
  • Heat absorbed (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 0.15 × 4184 × 4

Q = 2510.4 J

Finally, we shall determine the initial temperature of the metal bolt.

  • Heat absorbed by water = 2510.4 J
  • Heat released by metal (Q) = –2510.4 J
  • Mass of metal (M) = 0.050 Kg
  • Final temperature (T₂) = 25 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of metal (C) = 899 J/Kg°C
  • Initial temperature (T₁) =?

Q = MC(T₂ – T₁)

–2510.4 = 0.050 × 899 (25 – T₁)

–2510.4 = 44.95 (25 – T₁)

Clear bracket

–2510.4 = 1123.75 – 44.95T₁

Collect like terms

–2510.4 – 1123.75 = –44.95T₁

–3634.15 = –44.95T₁

Divide both side by –44.95

T₁ = –3634.15 / –44.95

T₁ = 80.8 °C

Thus, the initial temperature of the metal is 80.8 °C.
