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

Suppose a 125 N force is applied to a lawnmower handle at an angle of 35° with the ground and the lawnmower moves along the surf
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Workdone is 5734.06Nm.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Force applied = 125N

Angle = 35°

Distance = 56m

To find the workdone by the lawnmower, we would first of all find the horizontal component of the force applied.

Horizontal force, Fx = mgCosd

Where;

  • Fx represents the horizontal force.
  • m is the mass of an object.
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity.
  • d is the angle of inclination (theta).

mg = weight = 125N

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Fx = 125 * Cos35

Fx = 125 * 0.8192

Fx = 102.39N

Workdone is given by the formula;

Workdone = force * distance

Workdone = 102.39 * 56

Workdone = 5734.06Nm

<em>Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 5734.06Nm</em>.

When does PE equal KE?
dybincka [34]
PE equals KE when KE is 50%. 

Like below:

E = PE + KE 
E = 50 + 50 
E = 100.

Remember, both KE and PE always have to add up to 100 so that is why PE is equal to KE when KE is 50% of energy. 

Hope I helped. :)

A cake is removed from a 350◦F oven and placed on a cooling rack in a 70◦F room. After 30 minutes the cake is 200◦F. When will i
galben [10]

Answer:

350 F to 100 F it take approx 87.33 min  

Explanation:

given data

oven = 350◦F

cooling rack = 70◦F

time = 30 min

cake = 200◦F

solution

we apply here Newtons law of cooling  

\frac{dT}{dt} = -k(T-Ta)

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} (T(t) -Ta)

= \frac{dT}{dt} -\frac{dTa}{dt} =\frac{dT}{dt} = -k(T-Ta)

-ky \frac{dy}{dt} = -ky

T(t) -Ta = (To -Ta) e^{-kt} T(t) = Ta+ (To -Ta)  e^{-kt}

put her value for time 30 min and T(t) = 200◦F and To =350◦F  and Ta = 70◦F

so here

200 = 70 + ( 350 - 70 ) e^{-k30}

k = 0.025575

so here for  T(t) = 100F

100 = 70 + ( 350 - 70 ) e^{-0.025575*t}

time = 87.33 min

so here 350 F to 100 F it take approx 87.33 min
