Two climbers are on a mountain. Simon, of mass m, is sitting on a snow covered slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal.

The coefficient of static friction between his body and the snow is μ. He is tied into one end of a massless rope that runs over a frictionless pulley. Joe, of mass M, is at the other end of the rope. He has fallen and is hanging motionless below an overhang. Derive an expression for the maximum value of Joe’s mass M so that Simon is not pulled down the slope, in terms of relevant system parameters.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is required that the weight of Joe must prevent Simon from being pulled down . That means he is not slipping down but tends to be towed down . So in equilibrium , force of friction will act in upward direction on Simon.

Let in equilibrium , tension in rope be T

For balancing Joe

T = M g

For balancing Simon

friction + T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+Mg = mgsinθ

M = (msinθ - μmcosθ)

M = m(sinθ - μcosθ)

Of waterfalls with a height of more than 50 m , Niagara Falls in Canada has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Power output: W=1426.9MW

Explanation:

The power output of the falls is given mainly by its change in potential energy:

Q=-P_{tot}=-(P_{2}-P_{1})

The potential energy for any point can be calculated as:

P=m*g*h

If we consider the base of the falls to be the reference height, at point 2 h=0, so P2=0, and height at point 1 equals 52m:

Q=P_{1}=m*g*h

If we replace m with the mass rate M we obtain the rate of change in potential energy over time, so the power generated:

W=M*g*h=2.8*10^{3}m^{3}/s*1*10^{3}kg/m^{3}*9.8m/s^{2}*52m =1426.9MW

Suppose you sketch a model of an atom using the ones here as a guide. How would you build a model that is ionized? How would you
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

An atom is constructed of three different particles known as electrons, protons and neutrons.

These particles have different mass and charges and are responsible for various characters than an atom posses.

An electron has a negative charge, a proton has positive charge and charge of neutron is neutral. Equal number of electrons and protons are present in an atom that make it electrically neutral but different conditions can occur if we remove these particles from an atom.

1 : Model of an ionized atom - an ionized atom is one which has some net charge on this. It can be either a positive charge or a negative charge.

If we need to sketch the model of an ionized atom then one should either keep the number of electrons less or proton.

2: Model of radioactive atom : A radioactive atom is one an unstable atom and has access of energy in its center. It can be caused by adding either neutrons or protons.

Which of the choices describes an action–reaction force pair for a space station containing astronauts in orbit about the earth?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

(D) The weight of the space station and the gravitational force of the space station on the earth.

Explanation:

In both A and B , both the forces act in the same direction ( downwards ) , so they can not be action- reaction force .

In the option C , weight of a astronaut can only be reaction force of gravitational force exerted on the earth by astronaut. Both astronaut and the earth pull each other with equal and opposite force.  So option D is correct.
