A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 2.8-m-wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.40 m/s. As the dog

enters, the cat (as only cats can do) immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. The dog (all bark and no bite) is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s^2 as soon as it enters the room.

Answer:

the cat is  0.4238 m in front of the dog as it leaps through the window

Explanation:

Given that;

acceleration a = 0.85 m/s²

speed v = 1.40 m/s

the cat is at rest, so initial velocity u = 0  

we know that, since the cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 2.8-m-wide room, it needs to cover (2.8 m / 2 ) distance to get to the window;

using the second equation equation of motion;

s = ut + 1/2 at²  

we substitute

2.8/2 = 0×t + 1/2 × 0.85 × t²

1.4 = 0.425t²

t = √( 1.4 / 0.425 )

t = 1.81497 sec

now, at acceleration 0.10 m/s²

the dog has to cover the distance;

s = ut + 1/2 at²  

s = ( 1.4 × 1.81497) - 1/2 × 0.10 × 1.81497²

s =  2.540958 - 0.1647

s = 2.3762 m  

The cant in front of the dog as it leaps through the window;

distance = 2.8 m - 2.3762 m

distance = 0.4238 m

Therefore, the cat is  0.4238 m in front of the dog as it leaps through the window

The centripetal force : F = 293.3125 N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 65 kg

v = 9.5 m/s

r = 20 m

Required

the centripetal force

Solution

Centripetal force is a force acting on objects that move in a circle in the direction toward the center of the circle  

\large {\boxed {\bold {F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {R}}}

F = centripetal force, N  

m = mass, Kg  

v = linear velocity, m / s  

r = radius, m  

Input the value :

F = 65 x 9.5² / 20

F = 293.3125 N

51.Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing because the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveli
Komok [63]

Complete question is;

Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing since the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveling a sidewalk metabolizes food at the rate of 800 W. (The efficiency of a person shoveling is 3%.)

(a) What is her useful power output? (b) How long will it take her to lift 3000 kg of snow 1.20 m? (This could be the amount of heavy snow on 20 m of footpath.) (c) How much waste heat transfer in kilojoules will she generate in the process?

Answer:

A) P_out = 24 W

B) t = 1470 s

C) Q = 1140.72 KJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Input Power; P_in = 800 W

Efficiency; η = 3% = 0.03

A) Formula for efficiency is;

η = P_out/P_in

Making P_out the subject, we have;

P_out = η•P_in

P_out = 0.03 × 800

P_out = 24 W

B) We know that;

Power = work done/time taken

Thus;

P_out = mgh/t

We are given;

m = 3000 kg

h = 1.20 m

Thus, time is;

t = (3000 × 9.8 × 1.2)/24

t = 1470 s

C) amount of heat wasted is calculated from;

Q = (P_in - P_out)t

Q = (800 - 24) × 1470

Q = 1,140,720 J

Q = 1140.72 KJ

Frictional force is____of area of contact​
Elis [28]

Answer:

The force due to friction is generally independent of the contact area between the two surfaces. This means that even if you have two heavy objects of the same mass, where one is half as long and twice as high as the other one, they still experience the same frictional force when you drag them over the ground.

Explanation:

Independent
