A cement block accidentally falls from rest from the ledge of a 53.0-m-high building. When the block is 14.0 m above the ground,

a man, 2.00 m tall, looks up and notices that the block is directly above him. How much time, at most, does the man have to get out of the way?

Answer:

0.405 seconds

Explanation:

Consider the amount of time it takes the block to fall from 53 m up to 14 m above the ground; then consider the amount of time it takes the block to fall from 53 m up to 2 m above  the ground.

First,     d = (1/2) gt^2    or     t=   ( 2 d / g)^1/2

= ( 2 × 39 / 9.8)^1/2 = 2.8212 seconds

Then, to fall from 53 down to 2 meters...

 d = (1/2) gt^2    or     t=   ( 2 d / g)^1/2

= ( 2 * 51/ 9.8 )^1/2 = 3.2262 seconds

So the amount of time it takes for the block to fall from 14 m upto 2 m above the ground

3.2262 - 2.8212 = 0.405 seconds      

this is how much time there is from when the man sees the block until it hits him. Not much time...

You throw a tennis ball (mass 0.0570 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 15.0 m/s. Air resistance cannot be neg
Deffense [45]

Answer:195 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=0.0570\ kg

ball leaves the hand with u=15\ m/s

maximum height reached by ball h=8\ m

Initial Mechanical energy when ball just leaves the hand

M.E._1=(P.E.+K.E.)_1

M.E._1=(mgh)_1+(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)_1

considering hand to be datum so h_1=0[/tex]

so Potential energy at ground is zero

M.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times (15)^2

M.E._1=6.41\ J

Mechanical Energy at highest point

(M.E.)_2=(P.E.+K.E.)_2

at highest Point velocity is zero

(M.E.)_2=mgh_2+0

(M.E.)_2=0.0570\times 9.8\times 8

(M.E.)_2=4.46\ J

Decrease in Mechanical energy

(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=6.41-4.46

(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=1.95\ J

The current supplied by a battery slowly decreases as the battery runs down. Suppose that the current as a function of time is:
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 8.1 x 10^24

Explanation:

I(t) = (0.6 A) e^(-t/6 hr)

I'll leave out units for neatness: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/6)

If t is in seconds then since 1hr = 3600s: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/(6 x 3600) ).

For neatness let k = 1/(6x3600) = 4.63x10^-5, then:

I(t) = 0.6e^(-kt)

Providing t is in seconds, total charge Q in coulombs is

Q= ∫ I(t).dt evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

Q = ∫(0.6e^(-kt)

= (0.6/-k)e^(-kt) evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

= -(0.6/k)[e^-∞ - e^-0]

= -0.6/k[0 - 1]

= 0.6/k

= 0.6/(4.63x10^-5)

= 12958 C

Since the magnitude of the charge on an electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C, the number of electrons is 12958/(1.6x10^-19) = 8.1x10^24 to two significant figures.

A coat rack weighs 65.0 lbs when it is filled with winter coats and 40.0 lbs when it is empty. The base of the coat rack has an
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.056 psi more pressure is exerted by filled coat rack than an empty coat rack.

Explanation:

First we find the pressure exerted by the rack without coat. So, for that purpose, we use formula:

P₁ = F/A

where,

P₁ = Pressure exerted by empty rack = ?

F = Force exerted by empty rack = Weight of Empty Rack = 40 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₁ = 40 lb/452.4 in²

P₁ = 0.088 psi

Now, we calculate the pressure exerted by the rack along with the coat.

P₂ = F/A

where,

P₂ = Pressure exerted by rack filled with coats= ?

F = Force exerted by filled rack = Weight of Filled Rack = 65 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₂ = 65 lb/452.4 in²

P₂ = 0.144 psi

Now, the difference between both pressures is:

ΔP = P₂ - P₁

ΔP = 0.144 psi - 0.088 psi

<u>ΔP = 0.056 psi</u>

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio
Pachacha [2.7K]
First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg. 

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356  N

Ratio = 0.356  N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 3.5 kg box sliding across
Rina8888 [55]

k = spring constant of the spring = 85 N/m

m = mass of the box sliding towards the spring = 3.5 kg

v = speed of box just before colliding with the spring = ?

x = compression the spring = 6.5 cm = 6.5 cm (1 m /100 cm) = 0.065 m

the kinetic energy of box just before colliding with the spring converts into the spring energy of the spring when it is fully compressed.

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of spring before collision = spring energy of spring after compression

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

inserting the values

(3.5 kg) v² = (85 N/m) (0.065 m)²

v = 0.32 m/s
