Answer:

The pulling force that the man should apply to create an upward acceleration of 1.20m/s^{2} is P=621.5N

Explanation:

Hi

As it shows in the drawing at the end, we have that the total mass of the man plus the platform is 113 kg, then the force downward W is W=mg=113Kg*9.8m/s^{2}=1107.4N.

Due the man needs to do a pulling force upward capable of lifting himself and the platform with an acceleration of 1.20m/s^{2}, this force should create an acceleration greater than gravity by 1.20m/s^{2}. then a_{up}=g+1.2m/s^{2}=9.8m/s^{2}+1.2m/s^{2}=11m/s^{2}. Therefore the force should be P_{up}=ma_{up}=113kg*11m/s^{2}=1243N.

Finally, as we have a pulley arrangement connected to the platform, it gives the man a mechanical advantage, so he has to do only half of that upward force

, therefore P=\frac{1243N}{2}=621.5N.

A 16 g piece of Styrofoam carries a net charge of -8.6 µC and floats above the center of a large horizontal sheet of plastic tha
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet is - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

Explanation:

given information:

styrofoam mass, m = 16 g = 0.016 kg

net charge, q = - 8.6 μC

to calculate the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet, we can use the following equation:

F_{e} = mg

where

F_{e} = the force between the electric field

m = mass

g = gravitational force

F_{e} =qE

where

q = charge

E = electric field

and

E = σ/2ε₀

where

ε₀ = permitivity

thus

F_{e} =qE

mg = qσ/2ε₀

σ = (2mg ε₀)/q

  = 2 (0.016) (9.8)  (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)/( - 8.6 x 10⁻⁶)

  = - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

Jack rolled a marble down a ramp and recorded the potential energy and kinetic energy of the marble at different positions on th
mote1985 [20]

Answer: D

Height of marble from ground

Explanation:

From the formula of kinetic energy and potential energy,

K.E = 1/2mv^2

While

P.E = mgh

From all the parameters given from the question. You can see that mass is constant, acceleration due to gravity is also constant.

Independent variable must be a value that can varies.

Since Jack rolled a marble down a ramp and recorded the potential energy and kinetic energy of the marble at different positions on the ramp to see the effects on both energies.

This different position must be the height which will produce an effect on the potential and kinetic energy of the marble.

Independent variable always provides an effect for dependent variable. Which are kinetic energy and potential energy in this case.

Height of marble from ground is the right answer.

A body of mass 2.7 kg makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction but w
kramer

Answer:

a)

1.35 kg

b)

2.67 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

a)

m_{1} = mass of first body = 2.7 kg

m_{2} = mass of second body = ?

v_{1i} = initial velocity of the first body before collision = v

v_{2i} = initial velocity of the second body before collision = 0 m/s

v_{1f} = final velocity of the first body after collision =

using conservation of momentum equation

m_{1} v_{1i} + m_{2} v_{2i} = m_{1} v_{1f} + m_{2} v_{2f}\\(2.7) v + m_{2} (0) = (2.7) (\frac{v}{3} ) + m_{2} v_{2f}\\(2.7) (\frac{2v}{3} ) = m_{2} v_{2f}\\v_{2f} = \frac{1.8v}{m_{2}}

Using conservation of kinetic energy

m_{1} v_{1i}^{2}+ m_{2} v_{2i}^{2} = m_{1} v_{1f}^{2} + m_{2} v_{2f}^{2} \\(2.7) v^{2} + m_{2} (0)^{2} = (2.7) (\frac{v}{3} )^{2} + m_{2} (\frac{1.8v}{m_{2}})^{2} \\(2.7) = (0.3) + \frac{3.24}{m_{2}}\\m_{2} = 1.35

b)

m_{1} = mass of first body = 2.7 kg

m_{2} = mass of second body = 1.35 kg

v_{1i} = initial velocity of the first body before collision = 4 ms⁻¹

v_{2i} = initial velocity of the second body before collision = 0 m/s

Speed of the center of mass of two-body system is given as

v_{cm} = \frac{(m_{1} v_{1i} + m_{2} v_{2i})}{(m_{1} + m_{2})}\\v_{cm} = \frac{((2.7) (4) + (1.35) (0))}{(2.7 + 1.35)}\\\\v_{cm} = 2.67 ms⁻¹
