A woman living in a third-story apartment is moving out. Rather than carrying everything down the stairs, she decides to pack he

r belongings into crates, attach a frictionless pulley to her balcony railing, and lower the crates by rope.
Required:
How hard must she pull on the horizontal end of the rope to lower a 49 kg crate at steady speed?

Answer:

T = 480.2N

Explanation:

In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.

The forces on the boxes are:

T-Mg=0      (1)

T: tension of the rope

M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.

By using the equation (1) you obtain:

T=Mg=(49kg)(9.8m/s^2)=480.2N

The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: a) 95.07m b) 81.88 m

Explanation:

a)

For finding the distance when vehicle is going downhill we have the formula as:

Stop sight distance= Velocity*Reaction time + Velocity² / 2*g*(f constant- Grade value)

Now by AASHTO, we have for v= 45 mph= 72.4 kph, f= 0.31

Reaction time= 0.28

So putting values we get

Stop sight distance= 0.28*72.4 *1  + \frac{(0.28*72.4)^{2} }{2*9.81*(0.31-0.03)}

Stop sight distance= 95.07 m

b)

For finding the distance when vehicle is going uphill we have the formula as:

Stop sight distance= Velocity*Reaction time + Velocity² / 2*g*(f constant- Grade value)

Now by AASHTO, we have for v= 45 mph= 72.4 kph, f= 0.31

Reaction time= 0.28

So putting values we get

Stop sight distance= 0.28*72.4 *1  + \frac{(0.28*72.4)^{2} }{2*9.81*(0.31+0.03)}

Stop sight distance= 81.88 m

A firecracker breaks up into several pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The magnitude of the total momentum is 21.2 kg m/s and its direction is 39.5° from the x-axis.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The total momentum is calculated as the sum of the momenta of the pieces.

The momentum of each piece is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum.

m =  mass.

v = velocity.

The momentum is a vector. The 200 g-piece flies along the x-axis then, its momentum will be:

p = (m · v, 0)

p = (0.200 kg · 82.0 m/s, 0)

p = (16.4 kg m/s, 0)

The 300 g-piece flies along the y-axis. Its momentum vector will be:

p =(0, m · v)

p = (0, 0.300 kg · 45.0 m/s)

p = (0, 13.5 kg m/s)

The total momentum is the sum of each momentum:

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s, 0) + (0, 13.5 kg m/s)

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s + 0, 0 + 13.5 kg m/s)

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s, 13.5 kg m/s)

The magnitude of the total momentum is calculated as follows:

|p| = \sqrt{(16.4 kgm/s)^2+(13.5 kg m/s)^2}= 21.2 kg m/s

The direction of the momentum vector is calculated using trigonometry:

cos θ = px/p

Where px is the horizontal component of the total momentum and p is the magnitude of the total momentum.

cos θ = 16.4 kg m/s / 21.2 kg m/s

θ = 39.3  (39.5° if we do not round the magnitude of the total momentum)

Then, the magnitude of the total momentum is 21.2 kg m/s and its direction is 39.5° from the x-axis.

A 120-kg refrigerator that is 2.0 m tall and 85 cm wide has its center of mass at its geometrical center. You are attempting to
Mademuasel [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Force of Friction and Torque given by the kinematic equations of motion.

The frictional force by definition is given by

F= \mu mg

Our values are here,

\mu=0.3

m=120kg

g=9.8m/s^2

Replacing,

F=0.30*120*9.8 = 352.8N

Consider the center of mass of the body half its distance from the floor, that is d = 0.85 / 2 = 0.425m. The torque about the lower farther corner of the refrigerator should be zero to get the maximum distance, then

F*x = mg*d

Re-arrange for x,

x= \frac{mg*d}{F}

x= \frac{mg*d}{\mu mg}

x= \frac{d}{\mu}

x= \frac{0.425}{0.3}

x = 1.42m

Then we can conclude that 1.42m is the distance traveled before turning.
