Magnus has reached the finals of a strength competition. In the first round, he has to pull a city bus as far as he can. One end

of a rope is attached to the bus and the other is tied around Magnus's waist. If a force gauge placed halfway down the rope reads out a constant 2750 2750 Newtons while Magnus pulls the bus a distance of 1.60 1.60 meters, how much work does the tension force do on Magnus? The rope is perfectly horizontal during the pull.

Answer:

The workdone is $W_d =-4400J$

Explanation:

The free body diagram is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are given that

The force is on the force gauge $F = 2750 N$

The distance that Magnus pulled the bus $d = 1.60m$

Generally the workdone by the tension force on Magnus is

$Workdone = Force * displacement \ in \ the \ direction \ of \ force$

$W_d = F * (-d)$

This negative sign show that is tension force is in the opposite direction to Magnus movement (i.e the movement of the bus )

Substituting value we have

$Workdone = - 2750 * 1.60$

$=-4400 J$

At a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 5.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

$L = 4.86 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

The height of the diving board is given as

$h = 5.5 m$

now the speed of the diver is given as

$v_0 = 2.7 m/s$

when the diver will jump into the water then his displacement in vertical direction is same as that of height of diving board

So we will have

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

plug in the values in the above equation

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2(5.5 m)}{9.81}$

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

Horizontal distance moved by the diver is given as

$d = v_0 t$

$d = 2.7 \times 1.06$

$d = 2.86 m$

so the distance from the edge of the pool is given as

$L = 2.86 + 2$

$L = 4.86 m$

Select True or False for the following statements about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. True False It is not possible to mea

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Statement 1) False

Statement 2) False

Statement 3) True

Explanation:

The uncertainty principle states that " in a physical system certain quantities cannot be measured with random precision no matter whatever the least count of the instrument is" or we can say while measuring simultaneously the position and momentum of a particle the error involved is

$P\cdot\delta x\geq \frac{h}{4\pi }$

Thus if we measure x component of momentum of a particle with 100% precision we cannot measure it's position 100% accurately as the error will be always there.

Statement 1 is false since measurement of x and y positions has no relation to uncertainty.

Statement 2 is false as both the momentum components can be measured with 100% precision.

Statement 3 is true as as demanded by uncertainty principle since they are along same co-ordinates.

inessss [21]

I think it would be B because it is matter, since it has atoms, and it contains subatomic particles, which are smaller than atoms

Using the equation P = W/t to solve your problem .

Thus the answer is all of them use the same amount of power. 20 J.
