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

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first method to engage is to listen to where the sound of air in the inner Tor escaping originated and look to see if u can find it. You can then feel the escape air with your hand.

You can Put it inside a container of water and see the bubble and rotate the inner tube to pass all of it through the water

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/
Elena-2011 [213]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0

\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2

So by solving above equation we will have

v_f = 84.3 m/s

now in order to find the momentum we can use

P = mv

P = 1.25 \times 84.3

P = 105.4 kg m/s

What is the formula of the compound between calcium and sulfur that has the percent composition 55.6?
Yanka [14]

CaS is the empirical formula of the compound between calcium and sulphur that has the percent composition 55.6.

When percentages are given, we take a total mass of 100 grams.

Therefore the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Ca = 55.6 g (given) of

S Mass = 44.4 g (100 - 55.6 = 44.4)

Step 1: Convert the given mass to moles.

moles Ca = given mass Ca / molar mass Ca

moles = 55.6 / 40 = 1.39 moles

mol S = specific mass S / molar mass S

mol = 44.4 / 32 = 1.39 mol

Step 2: Divide the molar ratio of each molar value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Ca = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

For S = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

The ratio of Ca : S = 1:1

Hence the empirical formula of the given compound will be CaS.
