Answer:

86.4 N downward

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration of a body.

The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N).

The Expression of force is given as,

F = ma ................ Equation 1

Where F = force of the parachute harness, m = mass of the skydiver, a = acceleration of the skydiver.

Given: m = 72 kg, a = 1.2 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

F = 72(1.2)

F = 86.4 N down ward.

Hence the force on the parachute harness = 86.4 N downward

A factory robot drops a 10 kg computer onto a conveyor belt running at 3.1 m/s. The materials are such that
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Option (c) will be correct answer that is it will go 1.6 m

Explanation:

We have given that conveyor has the velocity u = 3.1 m/sec

Mass of the robot = 10 kg

static friction coefficient  = 0.5 and kinetic friction coefficient = 0.3

Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/sec^2

Acceleration a = kinetic friction coefficient ×g = 0.3×9.8 = 2.94m/sec^2

Now according to third equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

Finally velocity of the conveyor will be zero

So 0^2=3.1^2-2\times 2.94\times s

s = 1.6 m

So option (c) is correct option

If the humidity in a room of volume 450 m3 at 30 ∘C is 75%, what mass of water can still evaporate from an open pan?
Yuliya22 [10]
From tables,

SVP at 30°C = 4.24 kPa

From ideal gas expressions;
n = PV/RT = (4.24*1000*450)/(8.314*303) = 757.4 moles

Now, 75% of 757.4 moles will evaporate leaving 20%. Then, 25% of 757.5 moles...
25% of 757.4 moles = 25/100*757.4 = 189.35 moles
Mass of 189.35 moles = 189.35 moles*18 g/mol = 3408.3 g ≈ 3.4 kg

Describe the energy transformations that take place when a skier starts skiing down a hill but after a time is brought to rest b
Andrews [41]
<span>The skier will transform their gravitational energy into mostly kinetic energy (with a minor amount transformed into heat from the friction of the skis across the snow and air friction). Once the skier hits the snowdrift, their kinetic energy is transferred into the snow which moves when they strike it due to the kinetic energy that is now in the snow. Along with again a minor amount of heat energy transferred as they move through the snowdrift.</span>

A yo-yo can be thought of as a solid cylinder of mass m and radius r that has a light string wrapped around its circumference (s
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

6.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

The net force acting on the yo-yo is

F_net = mg-T

ma=mg-T

now T= mg-ma

net torque acting on the yo-yo is

τ_net = Iα

I= moment of inertia (= 0.5 mr^2 )

α = angular acceleration

τ_net = 0.5mr^2(a/r)

Tr= 0.5mr^2(a/r)

(mg-ma)r=0.5mr^2(a/r)

a(1/2+1)=g

a= 2g/3

a= 2×9.8/3 = 6.5 m/s^2

You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm
maxonik [38]

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We  also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring,  the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m
