Answer:

The strong person should carry the ladder at the  front end and the weak person should carry it at the back end.

Explanation:

this is because in such a case the strong person has to pull the ladder whereas the weak person at the back end have to push the ladder. In such case it is easier to push because the weak person can use the force of gravity of his own body for pushing the ladde.

However in case of pulling the ladder one has to overcome his own gravity to pull the heavy object

Answer:

  weak person: near the end of the ladder

  strong person: nearer the center of the ladder

Explanation:

The closer the strong person is to the center of mass of the ladder, the greater the fraction of the ladder's weight that person will carry. The weak person will feel less weight if the strong person is nearer to the center of mass.

For example, if the strong person is 3/4 of the ladder's length from the end where the weak person is, then the strong person will carry twice the weight the weak person is having to carry. (Assuming the mass is uniformly distributed.)

a toy dart gun generates a dart with .140kg.m/s momentum and a velocity of 4m/s. what is the mass of the dart in grams?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: m = 0.035kg = 35g

Explanation: Momentum p=0.140kgm/s

Velocity v=4m/s

Mass m=?

Formula-

Momentum depends on the mass of the object in motion and its velocity.

The equation for momentum is

p = mv

m = p/v

m = 0.140/4

m = 0.035kg

m = 35g

Hence, in the toy dart gun mass of the dart is 0.035kg.

Mike has a mass of 97 kg. He jumps out of a perfectly good airplane that is 2000 m above the ground. After he falls 1000 m, when
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a)  fr = 224.3 N , b)   fr = 224.3 N , c)   v = 198.0  m/s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by calculating the acceleration in the fall

             v² = v₀² - 2 a (y-y₀)

When it jumps the initial vertical speed is zero

             a = -v² / 2 (y-y₀)

             a = -68 2/2 (1000-2000)

             a = 2,312 m / s²

Let's use the second net law to enter the average friction force

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,312

            fr = 224.3 N

b) let's look for acceleration

            v² = v₀² - 2 a y

            a = (v² –v₀²) / 2 (y-y₀)

            a = (4² - 68²) / 2 (0-1000)

            a = 2,304 m / s²

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,304

            fr = 223.5 N

c) the speed of the wallet is searched with kinematics

           v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

           v = √ (0-2 9.8 (0-2000))

           v = 198.0  m/s

The age of the universe is around 100,000,000,000,000,000s. A top quark has a lifetime of roughly 0.000000000000000000000001s. W
Maslowich

Answer:

10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

Explanation:

You need to determine how many quark top lives there have been in the history of the universe, that is, what is the age of the universe divided by the lifetime of a top quark. Expressed in a formula, this is:

t\frac{Age of the universe}{Lifetime of a top quark}

Yo know that the "Age of the universe" is 100,000,000,000,000,000  which can also be expressed as 10¹⁷ s .

You also know that the "Lifetime of a top quark" is 0.000000000000000000000001 which can also be expressed as 10⁻²⁴ s.

Then t=\frac{10^{17} }{10^{-24} }

Recalling that the result of dividing two powers of the same base is another power with the same base where the exponent is the subtraction of the initial exponents, it is possible to calculate this division as follows:

t=10^{17-(-24)}

t=10^{17+24}

<u><em>t=10⁴¹ s</em></u>

So <u><em>10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.</em></u>
