Explanation:

F = k |q1| |q2| / r^2

k = 9 * 10^9

q1 = - 2.5 C

q2 = 2 C

r = 100

r^2 = (10^2)^2 = 10^4

F = (9*10^9) * ( 2.5 ) ( 2) / ( 100)^2

F = 45* 10^9 / 10^4

F = 45 * 10^9 * 10 ^ -4 = 45 * 10^5 N

F = 45 * 10 ^ 5 N

A man of weight Wman is standing on the second floor and is pulling on a rope to lift a box of weight Wbox from the floor below.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

See the attached figure . See the forces acting on man pulling up the box .

Man is stationary so net force acting on man is zero .

T + R = Wman

R is the reaction force of the ground of second floor .

R = Wman - T

A penny rolls along the table for a distance of 1.3 meters. Jackie pushes it 40 centimeters further in the same direction.

brilliants [131]

40 meters times 1 meter over 100 centimeters equals 0.4 meters. 1.3 meters + 40 centimeters =. 1.3 m + 0.4 m = 1.7 m. The answer is 1.7 meters

A rock climber hangs freely from a nylon rope that is 15 m long and has a diameter of 8.3 mm. If the rope stretches 5.1 cm, what

irinina [24]

Answer:

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

Explanation:

Change in length

$\Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}$

Load, P = m x 9.81 = 9.81m

Young's modulus, Y = 0.37 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

Area

$A=\frac{\pi (8.3\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=5.41\times 10^{-5}m^2$

Length, L = 15 m

ΔL = 5.1 cm = 0.051 m

Substituting

$0.051=\frac{9.81m\times 15}{5.41\times 10^{-5}\times 0.37\times 10^{10}}\\\\m=69.38kg$

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg
