Answer:

This air being forced out causing the air pressure inside to be much lower than that on the outside. As higher air pressure always pushes, it keeps the two plungers together.

A 15 m ladder with a mass of 51 kg is leaning against a frictionless wall, which makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizonta

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Mass of ladder is 51kg

Then, it weight is

WL = mg = 51 × 9.81 = 500.31N

This weight will act at the midpoint of the ladder

Length of ladder is 15m

The ladder makes an angle 55°C with the horizontal

An object whose mass is 81kg is at 4m from the bottom of the ladder

Then, weight of object

Wo = mg = 81 × 9.81 = 794.61 N

Using newton second law

Check attachment

Ng is normal force on the ground

Ff is the horizontal frictional force

Nw Is the normal force on the wall

ΣFy = 0

Ng = Wo + WL

Ng = 794.61 + 500.31

Ng = 1294.92 N

Also

ΣFx = 0

Ff — Nw = 0

Then,

Ff = Nw

Now taking moment about point A.

Check attachment

using the principle of equilibrium

Sum of clockwise moment equals to sum of anti-clockwise moment

Also note that the Normal force on the wall is not perpendicular to the ladder, so we will resolve that and also the weights of ladder and weight of object

Clockwise = Anticlockwise

Wo•Cos60 × 4 + WL•Cos60 × 7.5 = Nw•Sin60 × 15

794.61Cos60 × 4 + 500.31Cos60 × 7.5 = Nw × Sin60 × 15

1589.22 + 1876.163 = 12.99•Nw

3465.383 = 12.99•Nw

Nw = 3465.383 / 12.99

Nw = 266.77 N

Since, Nw = Ff

Then, Ff = 266.77N

the horizontal force exerted by the ground on the ladder is 266.77 N

The 4.0 -kg head of an ax is moving at 3 m/s when it strikes a log and penetrates 0.01m into the log. What is the average force

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ax head, m = 4 kg

speed of the ax, v = 3 m/s

depth traveled into the log, d = 0.01 m

The time to traveled through the depth;

$s = (\frac{u+v}{2} )t\\\\0.01 = (\frac{0+3}{2} )t\\\\0.01 = 1.5t\\\\t = \frac{0.01}{1.5} \\\\t = 0.0067 \ s$

The average force the blade exerts on the log;

$F = ma=\frac{mv}{t} = \frac{4 \times 3}{0.0067} = 1791.05 \ N \\\\$

Therefore, the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

A batter hits a fly ball which leaves the bat 0.89 m above the ground at an angle of 62 ∘ with an initial speed of 29 m/s headin

KatRina [158]

consider the motion in Y-direction

v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Sin62 = 25.6 m/s

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel

Y = vertical displacement = - 0.89 m

using the equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

- 0.89 = (25.6) t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²

t = 5.3 sec

consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Cos62 = 13.6 m/s

a = acceleration = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 5.3 sec

X = horizontal displacement =?

using the equation

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

X = (13.6) (5.3) + (0.5) (0) t²

X = 72.1 m

d = distance traveled by the center fielder to catch the ball = 107 - x = 107 - 72.1 = 34.9 m

t = time taken = 5.3 sec

v = speed of center fielder

using the equation

v = d/t

v = 34.9/5.3

v = 6.6 m/s

How do P-Waves and S-Waves form?

marissa [1.9K]

P waves are produced by all earthquakes. They are compression waves that form when rocks break due to pressure in the Earth. S waves are secondary waves that are also created during an earthquake. They travel at a slower speed than the p-waves.

S waves are the waves that come after the earthquake and P waves
