Two people are playing tug-of-war. Due to their choice of footwear, theircoefficient of static friction is different. Participan

t 1 has a mass of 60 kg, acoefficient of static friction of 2.0, and can pull with a maximum force of1000 N. Participant 2 has a mass of 80 kg and a coefficient of staticfriction of 1.2, and can pull with a maximum force of 1200 N. Who wins?

Answer:

Participant 1 wins

Explanation:

Coefficient of static, μ = F/N, where F is the frictional force and N is the normal force.

The force exerted by each participant is the sum of the frictional force acting on each of them and the maximum force with which each participant pulls on the rope.

Frictional force, F =  μ * N

Normal force, N = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

For Participant 1; μ = 2.0, mass = 60 kg, g = 9.8 m/s²

Frictional force = 2.0 * 60 * 9.8 = 1176 N

Total force = (1176 + 1000) = 2176 N

For Participant 2; μ = 1.2, mass = 80 kg, g = 9.8 m/s²

Frictional force = 1.2 * 80 * 9.8 = 940.8N

Total force = (940.8 + 1200) N = 2140.8 N

From the values obtained above, Participant 1 exerts more force than Participant 2, therefore, Participant 1 wins

I pull the throttle in my racing plane at a = 12.0 m/s2. I was originally flying at v = 100. m/s. Where am I when t = 2.0s, t =
Helen [10]
Summary:
a= 12.0 m/(s^2)
v= 100m/s
t1= 2.0s => s1=?
t2=5.0s => s2=?
t3=10.0s => s3=?
——————
Solution:
• when t1=2.0 s, I have gone:
S1= v*t1 + 1/2*a*(t1^2)
=100.0 *2 + 1/2*12.0*(2.0^2)
=224 (m)

• when t2=5.0s, I have gone
S2=v*t2+ 1/2*a*(t2^2)
= 100*5.0+ 1/2*12.0*(5.0^2)
=650 (m)

•when t3= 10.0s, I have gone:
S3=v*t3+ 1/2*a*(t3^2)
=100*10.0+ 1/2*12*(10.0^2)
=1600 (m)

An electric ceiling fan is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity magnitude of 0.240 rev/s. The magnitude
bazaltina [42]

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity = 0.240 rev/s

Angular acceleration = 0.917 rev/s²

Diameter = 0.720 m

(a). We need to calculate the angular velocity after time 0.203 s

Using equation of angular motion

\omega_{f}=\omega_{i}+\alpha t

Put the value in the equation

\omega_{f}=0.240+0.917\times0.203

\omega_{f}=0.426\ rev/s

The angular velocity is 0.426 rev/s.

(b). We need to calculate the tangential speed of the blade

Using formula of  tangential speed

v= r\omega

Put the value into the formula

v = \dfrac{0.720 }{2}\times0.426\times2\pi

v=0.963\ m/s

The tangential speed of the blade is 0.963 m/s.

(c). We need to calculate the magnitude at of the tangential acceleration

Using formula of tangential acceleration

a_{t}=r\alpha

Put the value into the formula

a_{t}=0.36\times0.917\times2\pi

a_{c}=2.074\ m/s^2

The tangential acceleration is 2.074 m/s².

Hence, This is required solution.

Argon in the amount of 1.5 kg fills a 0.04-m3 piston cylinder device at 550 kPa. The piston is now moved by changing the weights
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

               275 kPa

Explanation:

             mass of the gas=m=1.5 kg

             initial volume if the gas=V₁=0.04 m³

             initial pressure of the gas= P₁=550 kPa

as the condition is given final volume is double the initial volume

             V₂=final volume

             V₂=2 V₁

As the temperature is constant

             T₁=T₂=T

\frac{P1V1}{T1}=\frac{P2 V2}{T2}

putting the values in the equation.

\frac{P1V1}{T1}=\frac{P2 *2V1}{T2}

P₂=\frac{P1}{2}

P₂=\frac{550}{2}

P₂=275 kPa

So the final pressure of the gas is 275 kPa.
