The alarm at a fire station rings and a 87.5-kg fireman, starting from rest, slides down a pole to the floor below (a distance o

f 4.10 m). Just before landing, his speed is 1.75 m/s. What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force exerted on the fireman as he slides down the pole?

Answer:

F_f=840N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight of fireman W_f= 87.5kg

Pole distance D=4.10m

Final speed is V_f 1.75m/s

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2 a d

Therefore Acceleration a

a'= v^2 / 2 d

a'= 0.21m/s^2

Generally the equation for Frictional force F_f is mathematically given as

F_f=m*a

F_f=m*(g-0.21)

F_f=87.5*(9.81-0.21)

Therefore

F_f=840N

defon

PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.

PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.

A TV satellite dish is designed to receive radio waves of wavelength
Verizon [17]

Answer:

4.7 GHz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf................. Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the radio wave, λ = wavelength, f = frequency

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ.............. Equation 2

Note: A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave, as such it moves with a velocity of 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

From the question,

Given: λ = 0.0644 meters

Constant: v = <em>3.00 x 10⁸ m/s</em>

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = (3.00 x 10⁸)/0.0644

f = 4.66×10⁹ Hz

f = 4.7 GHz

AM radio signals have frequencies between 550 kHz and 1600 kHz (kilohertz) and travel with a speed of 3.0Ã108m/s. What are the w
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of these signals is as follow:

  • Wavelength of 550 kHz is 545.45 m
  • Wavelength of 1600 kHz is 187.5 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency = 550 kHz & 1600 kHz

Velocity = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

As we know that frequency is expressed by the following equation:

  • Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength ---- (1)

For 550 kHz:

The equation can be rearranged as

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (550 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 545.45 m

For 1600 kHz:

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1600 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 187.5 m
