Answer:

A carbon brush is a sliding contact used to transmit electrical current from a static to a rotating part in a motor or generator, and machines, ensuring a spark free communication. Carbon brushes are also used in electric motors to provide a path for flow of current.

What force does a trampoline have to apply to a gymnast to accelerate her straight up at ? Note that the answer is independent o
Andrew [12]

Answer: Force applied by trampoline = 778.5 N

<em>Note: The question is incomplete.</em>

<em>The complete question is : What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0 kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s^2? note that the answer is independent of the velocity of the gymnast. She can be moving either up or down or be stationary. </em>

Explanation:

The total required the trampoline by the trampoline = net force accelerating the gymnast upwards + force of gravity on her.

= (m * a) + (m * g)

= m ( a + g)

= 45 kg ( 7.50 *  9.80) m/s²

Force applied by trampoline = 778.5 N

On a perfect fall day, you are hovering at low altitude in a hot-air balloon, accelerated neither upward nor downward. The total
Stella [2.4K]

Explanation:

Since the balloon is not accelerating means that the net force on the balloon is zero. This implies that the weight of balloon must be equal to the buoyant force on balloon.

Hence, the buoyant force equals the weight of air displaced by the balloon, also 20,000 N.

Weight of the air displaced = density of air × volume

The density of air at 1 atm pressure and 20º C is 1.2 kg/m³  

the volume V = 20,000/(1.2×9.8) =  1700 m³

A car travels 2155.0m in 195.9s. What is the car's average speed?
inna [77]

Average speed of the car is 11 m/s

Explanation:

  • Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.
  • It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time
  • Here, distance = 2155 m and time = 195.9 s

Speed of the car = 2155/195.9 = 11 m/s

A string under a tension of 50.4 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.51 m at a speed of 21.1 m/s. The s
Leokris [45]

Answer:

619.8 N

Explanation:

The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

T is the tension

m is the mass of the rock

v is the speed

r is the radius of the circular path

At the beginning,

T = 50.4 N

v = 21.1 m/s

r = 2.51 m

So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:

m=\frac{Tr}{v^2}=\frac{(50.4)(2.51)}{21.1^2}=0.284 kg

Later, the radius of the string is decreased to

r' = 1.22 m

While the speed is increased to

v' = 51.6 m/s

Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:

T'=m\frac{v'^2}{r'}=(0.284)\frac{(51.6)^2}{1.22}=619.8 N
