A man is standing on a platform that is connected to a pulley arrangement, as the drawing shows. By pulling upward on the rope w

ith a force the man can raise the platform and himself. The total mass of the man plus the platform is 113 kg. What pulling force should the man apply to create an upward acceleration of 1.20 m/s2?

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.

1) A train accelerates from 36 km/hr to 54 km/hr in 10<br> s. Find acceleration?
Crank

Answer: Given:

Initial velocity= 36km/h=36x5/18=10m/s

Final velocity =54km/h=54x5/18=15m/s

Time =10sec

Acceleration = v-u/ t

=15-10/10=5/10=1/2=0.5 m/s2

Distance =s=?

From second equation of motion:

S=ut +1/2 at^2

=10*10+1/2*0.5*10*10

=100+25

=125m

So distance travelled 125m

Hope it helps you

Microwaves have a higher frequency than radio waves, so why is it that they don't travel faster?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: Energy requirement or consumption also increases as frequency goes higher. Hence, those low-frequency to mid-frequency waves are commonly referred to as radio waves and essentially, they have longer wavelengths. On the other hand, microwaves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.

Explanation: therefore that's why they don't travel faster.
