Answer:

1225J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J

Newton's second law ...Force = momentum change/time.momentum change = Forcextme.also, F=ma -> a=F/m - the more familiar form of Newton's second law
using one of the kinematic equations for m ...  V=u+at; u=0; a=F/m -> V=(F/m)xt.-> t=mV/F using one of the kinematic equations for 2m ... V=u+at; u=0; a=F/2m -> V=(F/2m)xt. -> t=2mV/F (twice as long, maybe ?)
I think I've made a mistake somewhere below, but I think that the principle is right ...using one of the kinematic equations for m ...  s=ut + (1/2)at^2); s=d;u=0;a=F/m; t=1;  -> d=(1/2)(F/m)=F/2musing one of the kinematic equations for 2m ...  s=ut + (1/2)at^2); s=d;u=0;a=F/2m; t=1;  -> d=(1/2)(F/2m)=F/4m (half as far ?????

To hoist himself into a tree, a 72.0-kg man ties one end of a nylon rope around his waist and throws the other end over a branch
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

man upward acceleration is 0.14m/s^2

Explanation:

given data:

mass of man = 72 kg

downward force = 360 N

The mass of man of weight 72 kg is hang from two sections of rope, one section pf rope ties around man waist and other section is ties in man hands. when he pulls down the rope  with 360 N force then each section of  rope pulls with 360 N

we know that

Weight= mass × gravity= 72kg × 9.8 = 705.6N

Force = mass× acceleration

Force= -705.6 + (2 × 358) = 10.4 N

acceleration = \frac{10.4}{72} = 0.14m/s^2

Two cables of the same length are made of the same material, except that one cable has twice the diameter of the other cable. Wh
belka [17]

Answer: The same current flows through bth cables

Explanation:

Lets have a look to the next two equations

The Ohm´s     V = I*R    (1)

where:

V is voltage (potencial dfference) in volts

I is the electric current in ampers

R is the electric resistance

When a voltage is applied as the electrc load is not specified ( we have to assume is the same) the current will be the same

And in the other hand the resistance  R =ρL/s

Where  ρ is the resistivity of the conductor  L the length and s square section of the conductor

If we assume that the smaller diameter cable is able to conduct the current then nothing happens. The point is that the capacity of conduction of current depend on the section of the cable (the area)

Tables exist where to find the capacity of each cable according to its diameter.

Two boxes are connected to each other by a string as shown in the figure. The 10-n box slides without friction on the horizontal
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

T=7.4 N hence T<30 N

Explanation:

The figure is likely to be similar to the one attached. Writing the equation for forces we have

F-T=Fa/g where F is the force, T is tension, a is acceleration and g is acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the figures we have the first equation as

30 N - T = (30/9.81)a

Also, we know that T=F*a/g and substituting  10N for F we obtain the second equation as

T = (10/9.81)a

Adding the first and second equations we obtain

30 = 4.077471967

a Hence

a=\frac {30}{4.077471967}=7.3575 m/s^{2}

and T=a hence

T is approximately 7.4 N
