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.)

How far did the object travel by the end of eight seconds, according to the graph above?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<em>The object traveled 4 cm by the end of eight seconds.</em> Correct: A)

Explanation:

<u>Speed vs Time Graph</u>

In a speed-time graph, speed is plotted on the vertical axis and time is plotted on the horizontal axis. If the graph is a horizontal line, the speed is constant, if the line is sloped up, the speed is increasing and the acceleration is positive and constant, and if the line is sloped down, the speed is decreasing and the acceleration is negative and constant.

The distance traveled by the object can be found by calculating the area under the graph and above the x-axis.

The graph provided shows two different zones: the first 4 seconds, the speed is constant at 1 cm/s, and the last 4 seconds, the speed is zero, i.e. the object is not moving.

The area behind the first zone is a rectangle of height 1 cm/s and base 4 sec, thus the distance is 1 * 4 = 4 centimeters.

The second zone corresponds to an object at rest, thus no distance is traveled.

The object traveled 4 cm by the end of eight seconds.

A) Correct. As shown above

B) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

C) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

D) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

explain y it is easier to loosen a tight but using a spanner with along handle than with a short handle​
8090 [49]

Answer:

This is because using a long handled requires less force to the center of gravity and makes it easier to rotate than a short handled spanner

Will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with NO friction? Explain your answer.
MakcuM [25]

No velocity will not be changed

Why?

According to Newtons 1st law the velocity of a moving object remains unchanged unless a external force affect that.

Q1: A runner is jogging in a straight line at a steady vr= 6.8 km/hr. When the runner is L= 2.4 km from the finish line, a bird
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Q1: 3.2km

Q2: 4.8K

Explanation:

Q1:

So db is the distance of bird, and dr is the distance of runner

db = 2vr  and the distance of bird is going to be 2 times greater than the runner.

formulas: db = 2vr & db = 2dr

  1. db = 2dr
  2. L + (L - x) = 2x
  3. 2L - x = 2x
  4. 2L = 3x
  5. x = \frac{2}{3}L

Insert it in x = \frac{2}{3}L

\frac{2}{3}(2.4km) = 1.6km

Now we use formula db = 2dr

  1. db = 2L - x
  2. db = 2(2.4km) - 1.6km
  3. <u>db = 3.2km</u>

Q2:

Formulas: Vr = L /Δt & Vb = db/Δt

  1. Vr = L/ Δt ⇒ Δt = \frac{L}{Vr}
  2. \frac{2.4km}{6.8km/hr}
  3. \frac{6}{17}hr

(Km cancel each other)

  1. Vb = db/Δt ⇒ db = VbΔt
  2. 13.6km/hr(\frac{6}{17}hr )
  3. <u>4.8km</u>

(hr cancel each other)

Hope it helps you :)
