(a) on the firefighter from the pole and
(b) on the pole from the firefighter?

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

A wheel with radius 36 cm is rotating at a rate of 19 rev/s.(a) What is the angular speed in radians per second? rad/s(b) In a t

Sedaia [141]

(a) 119.3 rad/s

The angular speed of the wheel is

$\omega= 19 rev/s$

we need to convert it into radiands per second. We know that

$1 rev = 2 \pi rad$

Therefore, we just need to multiply the angular speed of the wheel by this factor, to get the angular speed in rad/s:

$\omega = 19 rev/s \cdot (2\pi rad/rev))=119.3 rad/s$

(b) 596.5 rad

The angular displacement of the wheel in a time interval t is given by

$\theta= \omega t$

where

$\omega=119.3 rad$

and

t = 5 s is the time interval

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

$\theta=(119.3 rad/s)(5 s)=596.5 rad$

(c) 127.3 rad/s

At t=10 s, the angular speed begins to increase with an angular acceleration of

$\alpha = 1.6 rad/s^2$

So the final angular speed will be given by

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha \Delta t$

where

$\omega_i = 119.3 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha = 1.6 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

$\Delta t = 15 s - 10 s = 5 s$ is the time interval

Solving the equation,

$\omega_f = (119.3 rad/s) + (1.6 rad/s^2)(5 s)=127.3 rad/s$

(d) 616.5 rad

The angle through which the wheel has rotated during this time interval is given by

$\theta = \omega_i \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha (\Delta t)^2$

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

$\theta = (119.3 rad/s)(5 s) + \frac{1}{2} (1.6 rad/s^2) (5 s)^2=616.5 rad$

(e) 222 m

The instantaneous speed of the center of the wheel is given by

$v_{CM} = \omega R$ (1)

where

$\omega$ is the average angular velocity of the wheel during the time t=10 s and t=15 s, and it is given by

$\omega=\frac{\omega_i + \omega_f}{2}=\frac{127.3 rad/s+119.3 rad/s}{2}=123.3 rad/s$

and

R = 36 cm = 0.36 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into (1),

$v_{CM}=(123.3 rad/s)(0.36 m)=44.4 m/s$

And so the displacement of the center of the wheel will be

$d=v_{CM} t = (44.4 m/s)(5 s)=222 m$

What total distance will a sound wave travel in air in 3.00 seconds at stp?

dimaraw [331]

At stp conditions ( $T=0^{\circ}C$ ), the speed of sound is
$v=331.2 m/s$
The sound wave moves by uniform motion, so we can use the basic relationship between space, time and velocity:
$S=vt$
where S is the distance covered by the sound wave in a time t. In our problem, t=3.00 s, therefore the distance covered by the sound wave is
$S=vt=(331.2 m/s)(3.00 s)=993.6 m$

Snorkeling by humans and elephants. When a person snorkels, the lungs are connected directly to the atmosphere through the snork

fgiga [73]

Answer:

2354.4 Pa

40221 Pa

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density = 1000 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Depth

The pressure difference would be

$\Delta P=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=1000\times 0.24\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=2354.4\ Pa$

The pressure difference in the first case is 2354.4 Pa

$\Delta P=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=1000\times 4.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=40221\ Pa$

The pressure difference in the second case is 40221 Pa
