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 .

2. a) A disc rotates about its axis at speed 25 revolutions per minute and takes 15 s to stop. Calculate the
ASHA 777 [7]

The statement shows a case of rotational motion, in which the disc <em>decelerates</em> at <em>constant</em> rate.

i) The angular acceleration of the disc (\alpha), in revolutions per square second, is found by the following kinematic formula:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{o}}{t} (1)

Where:

  • \omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, in revolutions per second.
  • \omega_{f} - Final angular speed, in revolutions per second.
  • t - Time, in seconds.

If we know that \omega_{o} = \frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}, \omega_{f} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s} y t = 15\,s, then the angular acceleration of the disc is:

\alpha = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-\frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}}{15\,s}

\alpha = -\frac{1}{36}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}

The angular acceleration of the disc is \frac{1}{36} radians per square second.

ii) The number of rotations that the disk makes before it stops (\Delta \theta), in revolutions, is determined by the following formula:

\Delta \theta  = \frac{\omega_{f}^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \alpha} (2)

If we know that \omega_{o} = \frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}, \omega_{f} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s} y \alpha = -\frac{1}{36}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}, then the number of rotations done by the disc is:

\Delta \theta = 3.125\,rev

The disc makes 3.125 revolutions before it stops.
