An 80-kg firefighter slides down a fire pole. After 1.3 seconds of sliding, the firefighter is sliding at a velocity of 6.5 m/s,

straight down the pole. Once this velocity is reached, the firefighter grips the pole so that the force of friction exerted by the firefighter's hands on the pole is equal to the force of gravity. At this point what is the downward acceleration of the firefighter

Answer:

a= 0

Explanation:

  • In the vertical direction, if the friction force (directed upward) is equal to the force of gravity (downward) this means that no net force is acting on the firefighter.
  • According to Newton's 2nd Law, if no net force is present, the acceleration in this direction is just zero, as follows:

       F_{net} = m*a = 0  (1)

      ⇒ a = 0

A power plant produces 1000 MW to suply a city 40Km away.Current flows from the power plant on a single wire of resistance0.050
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The current in wire resistance 2Ω

a). 8696 A

b). fraction power 15.1% a 115kV

Explanation:

Resistance

R=0.05Ω/Km*40km

R=2Ω

P=1000 MW

a).

P=V*I\\I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{1000x10^{6}W}{115x10^{3}k }  =8696.65A

Using law ohm

b).

V=I*R\\I=\frac{V}{R}

P=I*I*R\\P=I^{2} *R\\P=8696.65^{2}*2\\P=151.228 x10^{6}  W

e=\frac{151.228x10^{6} }{1000x10^{6} }*100= 15.12%

What is the speed of a horse in meters per second that runs a distance of 1.2 miles in 2.4 minutes​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Time t=2.4 minutes=2.4×60=144 seconds
distance s=1.2 miles=1.2×1609=1930.8 meters
speed v=s/t=1930.8÷144=[tex] \frac{1930.8}{144} = \frac{160.9}{12} =[/13.408m/s ~nearly]

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?
dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

I = MR^2

Here,

M = Mass

R = Radius of the hoop

The precession frequency is given as

\Omega = \frac{Mgd}{I\omega}

Here,

M = Mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d = Distance of center of mass from pivot

I = Moment of inertia

\omega= Angular velocity

Replacing the value for moment of inertia

\Omega= \frac{MgR}{MR^2 \omega}

\Omega = \frac{g}{R\omega}

The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then

\omega = 1000rpm (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})

\omega = 104.7rad/s

Replacing our values we have that

\Omega = \frac{9.8m/s^2}{(8*10^{-2}m)(104.7rad)}

\Omega = 1.17rad/s

The precession frequency is

\Omega = \frac{2\pi rad}{T}

T = \frac{2\pi rad}{\Omega}

T = \frac{2\pi}{1.17}

T = 5.4 s

Therefore the precession period is 5.4s
