One of the great dangers to mountain climbers is an avalanche, in which a large mass of snow and ice breaks loose and goes on an

essentially frictionless "ride" down a mountainside on a cushion of compressed air. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . avalanche µ = 0 347 m 27.5 ◦ If you were on a 27.5 ◦ slope and an avalanche started 347 m up the slope, how much time would you have to get out of the way?

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object down a slope (neglecting friction, µ = 0) is:

a = g × sin θ

Where,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and θ is the angle of the slope.

a = (9.8 × sin (21.5º)

= 3.592 m/s²

Using equations of motion,

S = ut + 1/2at²

Since, u = 0,

S = 1/2at²

347 = 1/2 × (3.592)t²

t² = 193.21

= sqrt(193.21)

= 13.9 s.

An electric dipole with dipole moment p⃗ is in a uniform electric field E⃗ . A. Find all the orientation angles of the dipole me
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) When a dipole is placed in an electric field , it experiences a torque equal to the following

torque = p x E = p E sinθ , where θ is angle between direction of p and E .

It will be zero if θ = 0

or if both p and E are oriented in the same direction.

It is the stable orientation of dipole.

If θ = 180° ,

Torque = 0

In this case both p and E are oriented in opposite direction .

It is the unstable orientation of the dipole because if we deflect the dipole by even small angle , it goes back to most stable orientation due to torque acting on it by electric field.

A non-uniform rod 60cm long and weighs 32N is balanced at the 45cm mark. A load of 2N is hung on the zinc rod at the 25cm mark.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The second knife-edge must be placed 46.2 cm from the zero mark of the rod.

Explanation:

From the law of equilibrium, ΣF = 0 and ΣM = 0.

Let R be the reaction at the knife edge. Since the weight of the rod and zinc load act downward, and we take downward position as negative

-32 N - 2 N + R = 0

-34 N = -R

R = 34 N

Also, let us assume the knife-edge is x cm from the zero mark. Taking moments about the weight and assuming the knife-edge is right of the weight of the rod. Taking clockwise moments as positive and anti-clockwise moments as negative,

-(45 - 25)2 + (x - 45)R = 0

-(20)2 + (x - 45)34 = 0

-40 = -(x - 45)34  

x - 45 = 40/34

x - 45 = 1.18

x = 45 + 1.18

x = 46.18 cm

x ≅ 46.2 cm

The second knife-edge must be placed 46.2 cm from the zero mark of the rod.

You ride a roller coaster with a loop-the-loop. Compare the normal force that the seat exerts on you to the force that Earth exe
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

N = mg + \frac{mv^2}{R}

Explanation:

At the bottom of the loop, the normal force is opposite to my weight.

I am making a circular motion. So,

F_{net} = \frac{mv^2}{R}

The relationship between the normal force, my weight, my speed and the radius of the loop is

N - mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg = N - \frac{mv^2}{R}\\ N = mg + \frac{mv^2}{R}

Here, my weight (mg) is constant. But the normal force is inversely proportional to my speed.

If my speed is zero, the normal force would be maximum and equal to my weight. If my speed is to much, then the normal force would be equally high too.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

value of the acceleration of gravity on the planet is 5.00 m/s²

Explanation:

The problem is similar to a free fall exercise, with another gravity value, the expression they give us is the following:

       y-yo = ½ gₐ t²       (1)

They tell us that they make a squared time graph with the variation of the distance, it is appropriate to clarify this in a method to linearize a curve, which is plotted the nonlinear axis to the power that is raised, specifically, the linearization of a curve The square is plotted against the other variable.

  Let's continue our analysis, as we have a linear equation, write the equation of the line.

     

        y1 = m x1 + b       (2)

where  “y1” the dependent variable, “x1” the independent variable, “m” the slope and “b” the short point

In this case as the stone is released its initial velocity is zero which implies that b = 0,

We plot on the “y” axis the time squared “t²” and on the horizontal axis we place “y-yo”.  To better see the relationship we rewrite equation 1 with this form

        t² = 2 /gₐ  (y-yo)

 

With the two expressions written in the same way, let's relate the terms one by one

        y1 = t²

        x1 = (y-yo)

        m = 2/gap

        b= 0

We substitute and calculate

        m = 2/gp

        gₐ = 2/m

        gₐ = 2/ 0.400

        gₐ = 5.00 m / s²

This is the value of the acceleration of gravity on the planet, note that the decimals are to keep the figures significant
