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

You use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch
valentinak56 [21]

1.8 is the mechanical advantage of the lever.

<h3>Definition of mechanical advantage</h3>

The theoretical mechanical advantage of a system is the ratio of the force that performs the useful work to the force applied, assuming there is no friction in the system.

The advantage gained by the use of a mechanism in transmitting force specifically the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.

Mechanical advantage is given by the ratio of the load lifted to the force applied to lift the load.

In this case, Mechanical advantage=L/E where L is the load and E is the effort applied.

Mechanical advantage= 90/50 =1.8

Question-you use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch. you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch with a force of 90 n. what is the mechanical advantage of the lever?

Precision is how close a series of measurements are to ______
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to an accepted value. <u>Precision is how close measurements are to one another.</u> To make measurements, you have to evaluate both the accuracy and the precision to get a correct value.

A baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s. How high does it go?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s, we want to determine the maximum height of the ball. Using the projecile formula;

Max height H = u²/2g

u is the initial velocity of the body = 27m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H = 27²/2(9.81)

H = 729/19.62

H = 37.16m

Hence the ball went 37.16m high
