Assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

Missing part of the question: determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration.

Given the data in the question;

Mass of Porsha; $m_{porsha} = 60kg$

Mass of Zorn; $m_{zorn} = 40kg$

Force of Porsha push; $F_{porsha} = 168N$

Magnitude of Porsha's acceleration; $a = \ ?$

To determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration, we use Newton's second laws of motion:

$F = m*a$

Where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

We substitute the mass of Porsha and the force he used into the equation

$168N = 60kg * a\\\\a = \frac{168kg.m/s^2}{60kg}\\\\a = 2.8m/s^2$

Therefore, assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does each if the following have: (

Vadim26 [7]

Each of these systems has exactly one degree of freedom and hence only one natural frequency obtained by solving the differential equation describing the respective motions. For the case of the simple pendulum of length L the governing differential equation is d^2x/dt^2 = - gx/L with the natural frequency f = 1/(2π) √(g/L). For the mass-spring system the governing differential equation is m d^2x/dt^2 = - kx (k is the spring constant) with the natural frequency ω = √(k/m). Note that the normal modes are also called resonant modes; the Wikipedia article below solves the problem for a system of two masses and two springs to obtain two normal modes of oscillation.

You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and

galina1969 [7]

The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha

A stone is thrown horizontally at 60.0 m/sm/s from the top of a very tall cliff. Calculate its horizontal position and vertical

svp [43]

Answer:

X-Positions: Y-Positions

x(0) = 0 y(0) = 0

x(2) = 120 m y(2) = 19.6 m

x(4) = 240 m y(4) = 78.4 m

x(6) = 360 m y(6) = 176.4 m

x(8) = 480 m y(8) = 313 m

x(10) = 600m y (10) = 490 m

Explanation:

X-Positions

First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:

$x = v_{ox} * t = 60.0 m/s * t(s)$

It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.

Y-Positions

We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
As both axes are perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:

$y = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 m/s2 * t(s)^{2}$

Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m
