The work done to pull the sister back on the swing is equal to the increase in potential energy of the sister:
(1)
where m is the sister's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and
is the increase in altitude of the sister with respect to its initial position.
By calling
the angle of the chain with respect to the vertical, the increase in altitude is given by
(2)
where L is the length of the chain.
Putting (2) inside (1), we find
from which we can find the mass of the sister:
Look that one up in you text book PG:678 that is if you got the same book as my friend<span />
Rainbows are caused by the dispersion of light, which itself consists of a combination of refraction and reflection of light around little droplets of water.
Choice C
Static equilibrium means that all forces are equal, so make this easiest you want to break F1 into it's horizontal and vertical components. As there are no other forces acting in the horizontal, we know the horizontal component of F1 is 40N. This allows the vertical component to be found using pythagorus theorem. After finding the vertical and horizontal components, you just have to add the vertical components to find the difference between the up and down.
Answer:
20,850 N
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using second Newton's Law:
where
F is the force
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
In this problem, we have:
m = 70 kg is the mass
is the acceleration (which is negative, because it is a deceleration)
So, we can use the equation above to find the force:
and the negative sign simply means that the force is in the opposite direction to the motion.
