A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a

cceleration over a distance of 0.750 m, what force does the ground exert on her? (b) If the parachutist comes to rest over a shorter distance, is the force exerted by the ground greater than, less than, or the same as in part (a)? Explain.

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2$

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N$

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

A vertical spring stretches 4.0 cm when a 12-g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 28 g that osc

marin [14]

Answer:

Time period of the osculation will be 0.0671 sec

Explanation:

It is given a vertical spring is stretched by 4 cm

So change in length of the spring x = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Mass which is hung from it m = 12 gram = 0.012 kg

Sprig force will be equal to weight of the mass

So $kx=mg$

$k\times 0.04=0.012\times 9.8$

k = 244.7 N/m

Now new mass is m = 28 gram = 0.028 kg

So time period with new mass will be

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

$=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{0.028}{244.7}}=0.0671sec$

A wall has a negative charge distribution producing a uniformhorizontal electric field. A small plastic ball of mass .01kg carry

Sauron [17]

Answer:

a) E = -4 10² N / C , b) x = 0.093 m, c) a = 10.31 m / s², θ=-71.9⁰

Explanation:

For that exercise we use Newton's second Law, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the ball

X axis

$F_{e}$ - $T_{x}$ = m a

Axis y

$T_{y}$ - W = 0

Initially the system is in equilibrium, so zero acceleration

Fe = $T_{x}$

T_{y} = W

Let us search with trigonometry the components of the tendency

cos θ = T_{y} / T

sin θ = $T_{x}$ / T

T_{y} = cos θ

$T_{x}$ = T sin θ

We replace

q E = T sin θ

mg = T cosθ

a) the electric force is

$F_{e}$ = q E

E = $F_{e}$ / q

E = -0.032 / 80 10⁻⁶

E = -4 10² N / C

b) the distance to this point can be found by dividing the two equations

q E / mg = tan θ

θ = tan⁻¹ qE / mg

Let's calculate

θ = tan⁻¹ (80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01 9.8)

θ = tan⁻¹ 0.3265

θ = 18 ⁰

sin 18 = x/0.30

x =0.30 sin 18

x = 0.093 m

c) The rope is cut, two forces remain acting on the ball, on the x-axis the electric force and on the axis and the force gravitations

X axis

$F_{e}$ = m aₓ

aₓ = q E / m

aₓ = 80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01

aₓ = 3.2 m / s²

Axis y

W = m $a_{y}$

a_{y} = g

a_{y} = 9.8 m/s²

The total acceleration is can be found using Pythagoras' theorem

a = √ aₓ² + a_{y}²

a = √ 3.2² + 9.8²

a = 10.31 m / s²

The Angle meet him with trigonometry

tan θ = a_{y} / aₓ

θ = tan⁻¹ a_{y} / aₓ

θ = tan⁻¹ (-9.8) / 3.2

θ = -71.9⁰

Movement is two-dimensional type with acceleration in both axes

A sound source is moving at 80 m/s toward a stationary listener that is standing in still air (a) Find the wavelength of the sou

Setler [38]

Answer:

a. wavelength of the sound, $\vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}$

b. observed frequecy, $\lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}$

Given:

speed of sound source, $v_{s}$ = 80 m/s

speed of sound in air or vacuum, $v_{a}$ = 343 m/s

speed of sound observed, $v_{o}$ = 0 m/s

Solution:

From the relation:

v = $\vartheta \lambda$ (1)

where

v = velocity of sound

$\vartheta$ = observed frequency of sound

$\lambda$ = wavelength

(a) The wavelength of the sound between source and the listener is given by:

$\lambda = \frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta }$ (2)

(b) The observed frequency is given by:

$\vartheta = \frac{v_{a}}{v_{a} - v_{s}}\vartheta_{o}$

$\vartheta = \frac{334}{334 - 80}\vartheta_{o}$

$\vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}$ (3)

Using eqn (2) and (3):

$\lambda = \frac{334}{1.315} = \frac{1}{1.315}\frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta_{o}}$

$\lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}$

2. A solution that contains a small amount of salt and a large amount of water is said to be a _______ solution.

koban [17]

2. A dilute solution means that the amount of solvent (water, for this particular case) is significantly larger than the solute (salt). Thus, the answer is D. 6. John Dalton's atomic theory states that matter is made up of tiny indestructible objects called matter. The theory also indicates that although same elements have the same atoms, each element have unique set atoms that deinfe them. From this, we can conclude that the wrong assumption is C. 9. Atoms, by default, are electrically neutral. When an atom loses or gains electron/s, then they become ionized atoms or commonly called as ions. Thus, ionized atoms imply unequal number of protons and electrons. This means the answer must be A. 11. Analgesics are commonly used to relieve pain. Thus, the answer is C. 14. Adding up the atomic mass of the individual atoms will give you the molar mass of a compound. Therefore, the answer is B.: 15. The pH scale provides us the alkalinity or acidity of a solution based on the value. A value between 0 to 6 indicates that the solution is acidic. 7 is considered neutral and a value between 7 and 14 indicates that the solution is basic. Thus, the answer is D. 19. An element has consistent properties and can no longer be further identified into having individual properties. Thus, the answer is A. 20. The valence of an element dependeds on the number of electrons on the outermost shell. Thus, it is equal to the number of charge negative or positive charges on the ion. Hence, we have A<span>. :</span>
