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 .

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The dynamo has a wheel that touches the back tyre. As the bicycle moves, the wheel turns a magnet inside a coil. This induces enough electricity to run the bicycle's lights. The faster the bicycle moves, the greater the induced voltage - and the brighter the lights.

An object at rest on a flat, horizontal surface explodes into two fragments, one seven times as massive as the other. The heavie
leva [86]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply conservation of the moment and conservation of energy.

By conservation of the moment we know that

MV=mv

Where

M=Heavier mass

V = Velocity of heavier mass

m = lighter mass

v = velocity of lighter mass

That equation in function of the velocity of heavier mass is

V = \frac{mv}{M}

Also we have that m/M = 1/7 times

On the other hand we have from law of conservation of energy that

W_f = KE

Where,

W_f = Work made by friction

KE = Kinetic Force

Applying this equation in heavier object.

F_f*S = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

\mu M*g*S = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

\mu g*S = \frac{1}{2}( \frac{mv}{M})^2

\mu = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{7}v)^2

\mu = \frac{1}{98}v^2

\mu = \frac{1}{g(98)(5.1)}v^2

Here we can apply the law of conservation of energy for light mass, then

\mu mgs = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Replacing the value of \mu

\frac{1}{g(98)(5.1)}v^2  mgs = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Deleting constants,

s= \frac{(98*5.1)}{2}

s = 249.9m
