Sterling Archer, despite failing repeatedly at pole-vaulting, is determined to master the skill. He is holding a vaulting pole p

arallel to the ground. The pole is 5 m long. Archer grips the pole with his right hand 10 cm from the top end of the pole and with his left hand 1 m from the top end of the pole. Although the pole is quite light (its mass is only 2.5 kg), the forces that Archer must exert on the pole to maintain it in this position are quite large. How large are they?

Answer:

left hand: 133 N upward

right hand: 83N downward

Explanation:

10 cm = 0.1m

Let g = 10m/s2. The pole gravity force would be F_p = 5*10 = 50 N. Suppose the pole mass distribution is uniform, this means the center of mass is at its geometric center, aka 5/2 = 2.5m from the top end.

In order for the system to stay balanced, the total net force and net moment must be 0

F_L + F_R = F_p = 50 N where F_L, F_R are the forces exerted by his left and right hand, respectively.

We will pick his right hand (0.1 m from the top end) as moment pivot point. The total moment generated by pole gravity and his left hand must be 0

Distance (or moment arm length) from pole center to his right hand is R_p = 2.5 – 0.1 = 2.4 m

Moment generated by gravity around his right hand is: M_p = F_pR_p = 50*2.4 = 120 Nm counter-clockwise

Distance (or moment arm length) from left hand to his right hand is R_L = 1 – 0.1 = 0.9 m

Moment generated by force from his left hand around his right hand is: M_L = F_LR_L = 1.9F_L Nm clockwise

Since the total moment must be 0, the clockwised-direction moment = counterclockwised-direction moment:

0.9F_L = 120

F_L = 120 / 0.9 = 133 N upward

Therefore, the force exerted by his right hand must be 50 – 133 = -83 N or 83N downward

Imagine a 15 kg block moving with a velocity of 20 m/s to the left. Calculate the kinetic Energy of this block.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

3000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

If m = 15 kg and v = -20 m/s:

KE = ½ (15 kg) (-20 m/s)²

KE = 3000 J

Can someone please help me with this physics question? I'm desperate!
Lelu [443]

Answer:

a) 2·√10 seconds

b) Linda should be approximately 30.6 meters

c) Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark is approximately 6.325 m/s

Explanation:

The speed with which Linda is running = 8.6 m/s

The point Jenny starts = The 80-m mark

The acceleration of Jenny = 1.0 m/s²

a) The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark, <em>t</em>, is given as follows

Δs = u·t + (1/2)·a·t²

Δs = Distance = 100-m - 80-m = 20-m

u = The initial velocity of Jenny = 0

a = Jenny's acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

∴ 20 = 0×t + (1/2) × 1 × t² = t²/2

20 = t²/2

t = √(20 × 2) = 2·√10

The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark = 2·√10 seconds

b) The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds, d = v × t

Given that Linda's velocity, v = 8.6 m/s, we have;

d = 8.0 × 2·√10 = 16·√10

The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds = 16·√10 meters ≈ 50.6 meters

Therefore, Linda should be approximately (50.6 - 20) meters = 30.6 meters behind Jenny when Jenny starts running

c) Jenny's speed at the 100 m mark is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

t = 2·√10 seconds, a = 1.0 m/s², u = 0

∴ v = 0×t + 1.0×2·√10 = 2·√10 ≈ 6.325

Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark ≈ 6.325 m/s

The age and crisis of the stage trust vs. mistrust
hodyreva [135]
Trust vs. mistrust is the first stage in Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. This stage begins at birth continues to approximately 18 months of age. ... If the care has been inconsistent, unpredictable and unreliable, then the infant may develop a sense of mistrust, suspicion, and anxiety.
