Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

In general, these 3rd class levers are very inefficient. Because the force distance is smaller than the load distance, you need to pull upward with more force that the weight of the load. So whatever the load is, the force is going to be much greater.

The distances are always measured to the pivot unless you are asked something specific otherwise.

Givens

F = ?

weight = 6N

Force Distance = F*d = 0.5 m

Weight Distance =W*d1 = 2 m

Formula

F*Fd = W*Wd

Solution

F*0.5 = 6 * 2 Divide by 0.5

F = 12/0.5

F = 24 N upwards

During the deceleration of an ascending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is _____ her weight. During the de

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Smaller than ; larger than

Explanation:

When the elevator is moving in the upward direction, then the force acting on it is negative in nature because of

N= mg +ma, (g is gravity and a is acceleration)

here ma is negative so the N= mg-ma

Hence, it feels smaller than its original weight.

When the elevator is moving downward , then the force acting will be positive in nature

N= mg+ma,

here ma will be positive so it feels larger the original weight of passenger.

A bucket of mass M (when empty) initially at rest and containing a mass of water is being pulled up a well by a rope exerting a

Naily [24]

Answer:

$V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT$

Explanation:

Given that

Constant rate of leak =R

Mass at time T ,m=RT

At any time t

The mass = Rt

So the total mass in downward direction=(M+Rt)

Now force equation

(M+Rt) a =P- (M+Rt) g

$a=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g$

We know that

$a=\dfrac{dV}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g$

$\int_{0}^{V}V=\int_0^T \left(\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g\right)dt$

$V=\dfrac{P}{R}\ ln\dfrac{M+RT}{M}-gT$

$V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT$

This is the velocity of bucket at the instance when it become empty.

A 90 kg astronaut Travis is stranded in space at a point 12 m from his spaceship. In order to get back to his ship, Travis throw

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a recoil problem, which is just another application of the Law of Momentum Conservation. The equation for us is:

$[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_b=[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_a$ which, in words, is

The momentum of the astronaut plus the momentum of the piece of equipment before the equipment is thrown has to be equal to the momentum of all that same stuff after the equipment is thrown. Filling in:

$[(90.0)(0)+(.50)(0)]_b=[(90.0)(v)+(.50)(-4.0)]_a$

Obviously, on the left side of the equation, nothing is moving so the whole left side equals 0. Doing the math on the right and paying specific attention to the sig fig's here (notice, I added a 0 after the 4 in the velocity value so our sig fig's are 2 instead of just 1. 1 is useless in most applications).

0 = 90.0v - 2.0 and

2.0 = 90.0v so

v = .022 m/s This is the rate at which he is moving TOWARDS the ship (negative was moving away from the ship, as indicated by the - in the problem). Now we can use the d = rt equation to find out how long this process will take him if he wants to reach his ship before he dies.

12 = .022t and

t = 550 seconds, which is the same thing as 9.2 minutes
