You catch a volleyball (mass 0.270 kg) that is moving downward at 7.50 m/s. In stopping the ball, your hands and the volleyball

descend together a distance of 0.150 m.
How much work do your hands do on the volleyball in the process of stopping it?
What is the magnitude of the force (assumed constant) that your hands exert on the volleyball?

Explanation:

The work done equals the change in energy.

W = ΔKE

W = 0 − ½mv²

W = -½ (0.270 kg) (-7.50 m/s)²

W = -7.59 J

Work is force times displacement.

W = Fd

-7.59 J = F (-0.150 m)

F = 50.6 N

The plug has a diameter of 30 mm and fits within a rigid sleeve having an inner diameter of 32 mm. Both the plug and the sleeve

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

P=740 KPa

Δ=7.4 mm

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of plunger,d=30 mm

Diameter of sleeve ,D=32 mm

Length .L=50 mm

E= 5 MPa

n=0.45

As we know that

Lateral strain

$\varepsilon _t=\dfrac{D-d}{d}$

$\varepsilon _t=\dfrac{32-30}{30}$

$\varepsilon _t=0.0667$

We know that

$n=-\dfrac{\epsilon _t}{\varepsilon _{long}}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-\dfrac{\epsilon _t}{n}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-\dfrac{0.0667}{0.45}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-0.148$

So the axial pressure

$P=E\times \varepsilon _{long}$

$P=5\times 0.148$

P=740 KPa

The movement in the sleeve

$\Delta =\varepsilon _{long}\times L$

$\Delta =0.148\times 50$

Δ=7.4 mm

The weights of a large number of miniature poodles are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 99 kilograms and a stan

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

As I say in the comments, the question is incomplete, however, I will try to answer this by using data that I found on another site.

This is the part of the question that is not here:

If measurements are recorded to the nearest

tenth of a kilogram, find the fraction of these poodles

with weights

(a) over 9.5 kilograms;

(b) of at most 8.6 kilograms;

So, assuming a mean of 8 kg, and 0.9 of standard deviation, let X represents the weight of the poodles

The expression to calculate the fraction of poodle needed is:

Z = X - u / d

u: weight of the large number of poodle

d: standard deviation

Replacing data of a) wer have:

Z = 9.5 - 8 / 0.9

Z = 1.67

With this value, we need to take the value of Z, and see the area under the curve of standard deviation (see table attached)

Therefore:

P (X > 9.5) = P(Z > 1.67) = 0.5 - P (Z < 1.67) = 0.5 - 0.4525 = 0.0475

b) In this part, is the same as part a) so:

Z = 8.6 - 8 / 0.9 = 0.67

The value for area in the curve is 0.2486 so:

P = 0.5 + 0.2486 = 0.7486

Hope this helps

The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope. The sl

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=1.2\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope, m = 100 kg

Force exerted by the doges on the rope attached to the front sled, F = 240 N

To find,

The acceleration of the sleds.

Solution,

Let a is the acceleration of the sleds. The product of mass and acceleration is called force. Its expression is given by :

F = ma

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{240\ N}{2\times 100\ kg}$ (m = 2m)

$a=1.2\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the sleds is $1.2\ m/s^2$ .

Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Tension in the cable is T = 16653.32 N

Explanation:

Give data:

Cross section Area A = 1.3 m^2

Drag coefficient CD = 1.2

Velocity V = 4.3 m/s

Angle made by cable with horizontal =30 degree

Density $\rho \ of\ water= 1000 kg/m3$

Drag force FD is given as

$F_{D} = \fracP{1}{2} \rho v^{2} C_{D} A$

$= 0.5\times 1000\times 4.32\times 1.2\times 1.3$

Drag force = 14422.2 N acting opposite to the motion

As cable made angle of 30 degree with horizontal thus horizontal component is take into action to calculate drag force

TCos30 = F_D

$T = \frac{F_D}{cos30}$

$T =\frac{ 14422.2}{cos 30}$

T = 16653.32 N
