Responding to an alarm, a 765-N firefighter slides down a pole to the ground floor, 3.5 m below. The firefighter starts at rest

and lands with a speed of 3.8 m/s . Find the average force exerted on the firefighter by the pole.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let acceleration of fall be a .

v² = u² + 2as

v = 3.8 m /s

u = 0

s = 3.5 m

3.8² = 0 + 2 x a x 3.5

a = 2.06 m /s²

Since this acceleration is less than g , an upward force is acting on the firefighter in the form of friction . Let this force be F . Let mass of the firefighter be m .

m = 765 / 9.8

= 78.06 kg

mg - F = ma

765 - F = 78.06 x 2.06

765 - F = 160.8

F = 604.2 N .

A soccerball is kicked straight out from a hill at 15 m/s and lands 42m away. how tall is the hill
ozzi

Answer:

The height of the hill is, h = 38.42 m

Explanation:

Given,

The horizontal velocity of the soccer ball, Vx = 15 m/s

The range of the soccer ball, s = 42 m

The projectile projected from a height is given by the formula

                             S = Vx [Vy + √(Vy² + 2gh)] / g

Therefore,

                            h = S²g/2Vx²                     (Since Vy = 0)

Substituting the values

                             h = 42² x 9.8/ (2 x 15²)

                                = 38.42 m

Hence, the height of the hill is, h = 38.42 m

Which theory states that if you are forced to smile at an event, you will enjoy it? A. The Schachter-Singer theory B. The Lazaru
Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. The facial feedback theory

Explanation:

The facial feedback theory as postulated by William James and connects back to the famous Charles Darwin talks about how facial expressions stimulate our emotional state of being. Based on this theory, the emotional experiences we have are determined by the looks on our faces.

According to the question, smiling at an event makes you enjoy it is an example of what the The facial feedback theory is explaining. Furthermore, smiling, which is a facial expression causes or stimulates an emotional state of enjoyment in that event.
