Sarah weighs 392 N. She pushes a 56 kg rock with a force of 65 N. What force does the rock exert on Sarah?

Physics

Leona [35]2 years ago

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).

How are different wavelengths of light affected by entering a prism?
NeX [460]
What happens in the prism stays in the prism. When the light emerges, it has the same frequency and wavelength as when it entered. The prism permanently alters nothing but the angle.

A bullet with a mass of 4.26 g and a speed of 881 m/s penetrates a tree horizontally to a depth of 4.44 cm. Assume that a consta
sveta [45]

Let F be the magnitude of the frictional force. This force performs an amount of work W on the bullet such that

W = -Fx

where x is the distance over which F is acting. This is the only force acting on the bullet as it penetrates the tree. The work-energy theorem says the total work performed on a body is equal to the change in that body's kinetic energy, so we have

W = ∆K

-Fx = 0 - 1/2 mv²

where m is the body's mass and v is its speed.

Solve for F and plug in the given information:

F = mv²/(2x)

F = (0.00426 kg) (881 m/s)² / (2 (0.0444 m))

F = 37,234.8 N ≈ 37.2 kN

A wire has a cross sectional area of 4.00 mm2 and is stretched by 0.100 mm by a certain force. How far will a wire of the same m
Nina [5.8K]

Answer: 0.05\ mm

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of wire A_1=4\ mm^2

Extension of wire \delta l=0.1\ mm

Extension in a wire is given by

\Rightarrow \delta l=\dfrac{FL}{AE}

where, E=\text{Youngs modulus}

\Rightarrow \delta_1=\dfrac{FL}{A_1E}\quad \ldots(i)

for same force, length and material

\Rightarrow \delta_2=\dfrac{FL}{A_2E}\quad \ldots(ii)

Divide (i) and (ii)

\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.1}{\delta_2}=\dfrac{A_2}{A_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.1\times \dfrac{4}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.05\ mm

A potter’s wheel of radius 17 cm starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration until at the end of 32 s it is
dedylja [7]

Answer:

α=0.625rad/s^2

v=340m/s

w=10rad/s

θ=320rad

Explanation:

Constant angular acceleration = ∆w/∆t

angular acceleration = 20/32

α=0.625rad/s^2

Linear velocity v=wr

v = 20×17= 340m/s

Average angular velocity

w0+w1/2

w= 0+20/2

w= 20/2

w=10rad/s

What angle did it rotate with

θ=wt

θ= 10×32

=320rad

How tall would a tower need to be if the period of a pendulum were 30. seconds
Virty [35]
We use the following expression

T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)

Where T is the period of the pendulum

l is the length of the pendulum

and g the acceleration of gravity

We solve for l

l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m

The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high
