Answer:

7327 kg or 7.3 tons

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408*10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M = M_1 = M_2$ is the masses of the 2 objects. and R = 2.6m is the distance between them.

$F_G = 5.3*10^{-4}N$ is the attraction force.

$5.3*10^{-4} = 6.67408*10^{-11}\frac{M^2}{2.6^2}$

$7941265 = \frac{M^2}{2.6^2}$

$M^2 = 53682948.76$

$M = \sqrt{53682948.76} \approx 7327 kg$ or 7.3 tons

A person slaps her leg with her hand, bringing her hand to rest in 2.50 milliseconds from an initial speed of 4.00 m/s.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

(a) 2400N

(b) Yes

Explanation:

(a) Mass (m) = 1.5kg, initial speed (v) = 4m/s, time (t) = 2.5milliseconds = 2.5/1000 = 0.0025seconds

F = mv/t = (1.5×4)/0.0025 = 6/0.0025 = 2400N

(b) The force would be different because the mass of the two hands and forearms is 3kg (2 × 1.5kg = 3kg)

Water is flowing in a pipe with a varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water completely fills the pipe. At point

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The fluids speed at a) $0.105\,m^{2}$ and b) $0.047\,m^{2}$ are $2.33\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $5.21\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ respectively

c) Th volume of water the pipe discharges is: $882\,m^{3}$

Explanation:

To solve a) and b) we should use flow continuity for ideal fluids:

$\Delta Q=0$ (1)

With Q the flux of water, but Q is $Av$ using this on (1) we have:

$A_{2}v_{2}-A_{1}v_{1}=0$ (2)

With A the cross sectional areas and v the velocities of the fluid.

a) Here, we use that point 2 has a cross-sectional area equal to $A_{2}=0.105\,m^{2}$ , so now we can solve (2) for $v_{2}$ :

$v_{2}=\frac{A_{1}v_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{(0.070)(3.5)}{0.105}\approx2.33\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

b) Here we use point 2 as $A_{2}=0.047\,m^{2}$ :

$v_{2}=\frac{A_{1}v_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{(0.070)(3.5)}{0.047}\approx5.21\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

c) Here we need to know that in this case the flow is the volume of water that passes a cross-sectional area per unit time, this is $Q=\frac{V}{t}$ , so we can write:

$A_{1}v_{1}=\frac{V}{t}$ , solving for V:

$V=A_{1}v_{1}t=(0.070m^{2})(3.5\frac{m}{s})(3600s)=882\,m^{3}$

A box of mass 50 kg is pushed hard enough to set it in motion across a flat surface. Then a 99-N pushing force is needed to keep

salantis [7]

The box is kept in motion at constant velocity by a force of F=99 N. Constant velocity means there is no acceleration, so the resultant of the forces acting on the box is zero. Apart from the force F pushing the box, there is only another force acting on it in the horizontal direction: the frictional force $F_f$ which acts in the opposite direction of the motion, so in the opposite direction of F.
Therefore, since the resultant of the two forces must be zero,
$F-F_f=0$
so
$F=F_f$

The frictional force can be rewritten as
$F_f = \mu m g$
where $m=50 kg$ , $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . Re-arranging, we can solve this equation to find $\mu$ , the coefficient of dynamic friction:
$\mu = \frac{F}{mg}= \frac{99 N}{(50 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)} =0.20$
