Answer:

a) F = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

b)F = - 527.65 N, where, negative sign depicts Force is applied downwards.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Weight of the firefighter = 756 N

Mass of the firefighter = 756/9.8 = 77.14 Kg

Acceleration, a = 2.96 m/s²

a) In the absence of the pole the firefighter would have been moving down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s (i.e the acceleration due to the gravity), but due to the presence of the pole the acceleration of the firefighter has been reduced. thus, a force is applied by the pole on the firefighter to reduce the acceleration.

therefore, we have

F = ma(net) = 77.14 × (9.8-2.96) = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

B) According to the Newton's third law, the force will be equal and opposite to the force in the part a)

thus, we have

F = - 527.65 N

Verizon [17]

Answer:

0.625 c

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :

$u' = \frac{0.4 c- (-0.3 c)}{1-\frac{(0.4 c)(-0.3 c)}{c^2}}$

$u' = \frac{0.7 c}{1.12}$

u'=0.625 c

Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c

An engineer is designing a runway for a witch. Several brooms will use the runway and the engineer must design it so that it is
jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometer
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is 29.86km/s

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.50x10^{8} km.

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}  (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

(r = 1.50x10^{8}km) instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

365.25d . \frac{86400s}{1d} ⇒ 31557600s

Then, equation 1 can be used:

v = \frac{2 \pi (1.50x10^{8}km)}{31557600s}

v = 29.86km/s
