Answer:

Construction pulleys are used in order to lift and place heavy materials. Curtains at a theatre are moved using pulley systems that pull the curtains apart. Blinds on windows operate using a pulley system to move the blinds up and down.

You spy on an anchor on the bottom of a lake. What is the direction and amount of force the water exerts on it: a) zero

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

c) up, less than the weight of the anchor

Explanation:

An object floats when the weight of the water the object displaces is equal to the weight of the object. In this case the weight of the anchor and the weight of the water it displaces is not the same so it sinks. Buoyancy is the force that acts on body when it is in water.

When buoyancy is less than the force that the object is generating due to gravity the object sinks. Buoyancy always acts up.

A 0.500-kg potato is fired at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal from a PVC pipe used as a "potato gun" and reaches a height

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) $47.15ms^{-1}$

(b) $2470.13ms^{-2}$

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

F=ma where m is mass, a is acceleration and F is net force

Also from kinetic equation of motion, velocity and displacement are related using equation

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2sa$

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is displacement

From the free body diagram attached, final velocity at maximum height is 0 and initial velocity is $usin80^{o}$

Also, the vertical component can be written as

$v_{y}^{2} }=u_{y}^{2} } -2gs$ The negative sign before 2gs means displacement is opposite the gravitational force

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, $u_{y}$ is vertical component of initial velocity and $v_{y}$ is vertical component of final velocity

Since $v_{y}$ is 0

$u_{y}^{2} } =2gs$

s=110 and g is taken as 9.8

$u_{y}=\sqrt{2*9.8*110}=46.43275$

$u_{y}=46.43ms^{-1}$

Also, it's evident that the vertical component of initial velocity is $u_{y}=u_{i}sin \theta$ where $\theta$ is angle of projection and $u_{i}$ is resultant velocity

Making $u_{i}$ the subject we obtain $u_{i}=\frac {u_{y}}{sin \theta}$

Since $u_{y}$ and $\theta$ are known as $46.43ms^{-1}$ and $80^{o}$ respectively, then $u_{i}=\frac {46.43ms^{-1}}{sin 80^{o}}=47.15ms^{-1}$

Therefore, the velocity of potato is $47.15ms^{-1}$

(b)

Displacement depends on length of tube hence s=0.450m hence going back to kinetic equation $v^{2}=u^{2}+2sa$

The final velocity v is answer in part a which is $47.15ms^{-1}$ , initial velocity u is $0ms^{-1}$ hence the equation is re-written as

$v^{2}=2sa$ and making a the subject we obtain

$a=\frac {v^{2}}{2s}$

$a=\frac {47.15^{2}}{2*0.450}=2470.13ms^{-2}$

Therefore, average acceleration is $2470.13ms^{-2}$

(c)

From Newton's second law of motion, F=ma where m=0.500kg and a is $2470.13ms^{-2}$

Therefore, the average force of potato is

F=0.5*2470.13=1235.06N

F=1235.06N

The weight, W of potato is given by W=mg

Taking R as ratio of average force and weight of potato

$R=\frac {F}{W}=\frac {F}{mg}$ and since F=1235.06, m=0.500kg and g=9.8

$R=\frac {1235.06}{0.500*9.8}$ =252.05

Therefore, ratio of average force to weight is 252.05

Savings account is where she can have access to her money anytime in case of an emergency.

<h3>What is a Savings account?</h3>

This is a type of account run by a financial institution which yields interests on deposits made.

This type of account usually comes with features in which the money can be withdrawn via an ATM card or by visiting the bank to collect it. This therefore makes it the most appropriate choice for Analisa.
