Answer:

The force the rock exerts on Sarah =#is 65 N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Sarah's weight = 392 N

The force with which Sarah pushes the rock = 65 N

The mass of the rock = 56 kg

The weight of the rock = The mass of the rock × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The weight of the rock = 56 kg ×9.81 m/s² = 549.36 N

Given that the force Sarah applies to push the rock = 65 N, then by Newton's third law of motion which states that action and reaction are equal and opposite, the force that the rock exert on Sarah is equal an opposite to the force Sarah is applying

Therefore, the force the rock exerts on Sarah = 65 N (in the opposite direction).

Rashid [163]

Answer:

v = 14 m/s

Explanation:

given,

radius of dip = 40 m

The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier than their true weight.

Apparent weight

$A = W + \dfrac{W}{2}$

$A =\dfrac{3W}{2}$

$A =\dfrac{3mg}{2}$

When the car is at the bottom, the weight will be acting downwards and the centripetal force will also be acting downward where as Normal force which is apparent weight will be acting in upward direction.

now,

$N = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$\dfrac{3mg}{2} = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$\dfrac{mg}{2} = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{rg}{2}}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{40\times 9.8}{2}}$

v = 14 m/s

What is the definition of input force?

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The input force (effort) is the amount of effort used to push down on a rod, or pull on a rope in order to move the weight. In this example, the force the little guy is using to pull the elephant is the input force.

A mass on a spring A oscillates at twice the frequency of the same mass on spring B. Which statement is correct?A.The spring con

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A.The spring constant for B is one quarter of the spring constant for A.

Explanation:

If spring A oscillates at twice the frequency of spring B, and period is frequency inverted. It means spring B has a period twice of spring A's.

$T_B = 2T_A$
