Answer:

9.45m/s^2

Explanation:

I just took the quiz and if you have options "9.85, 9.45, 10.01, 9.75" 9.45m/s^2 is the correct option.

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

r=0.41m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

\tau=r\times F

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

\tau=rFsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when sin\theta is equal to one, solving for r:

r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired

When a mass of 25 g is attached to a certain spring, it makes 20 complete vibrations in 4.0 s. what is the spring constant of th
earnstyle [38]

Answer: The spring  of the spring is 25 N/m.

Explanation:

Mass of the body = 25 g= 0.025 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)

Oscillation is 4 sec = 20

Oscillation in 1 sec =\frac{20}{4}=5

Frequency of the vibration of the spring = 5 s^{-1}=5 Hz

Force constant can be calculated bu using the relation between the frequency and, mass and spring constant 'k'

Frequency=\frac{1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

5 s^{-1}=\frac{1}{2\times 3.14}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{0.025 kg}}

k=24.649 N/m\approx 25 N/m

The spring  of the spring is 25 N/m.

A worker stands still on a roof sloped at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. He is prevented from slipping by static friction
aleksley [76]

Answer:

99.63 kg

Explanation:

From the force diagram

N = normal force on the worker from the surface of the roof

f = static frictional force = 560 N

θ = angle of the slope = 35

m = mass of the worker

W = weight of the worker = mg

W Cosθ = Component of the weight of worker perpendicular to the surface of roof

W Sinθ = Component of the weight of worker parallel to the surface of roof

From the force diagram, for the worker not to slip, force equation must be

W Sinθ = f

mg Sinθ = f

m (9.8) Sin35 = 560

m = 99.63 kg

A floating leaf oscillates up and down two complete cycles in one second as a water wave passes by. The wave's wavelength is 10
postnew [5]

Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s
