An ice rescue team pulls a stranded hiker off a frozen lake by throwing him a rope and pulling him horizontally across the essen

tially frictionless ice with a constant force. The hiker weighs 1040 N, and accelerates across the ice at 1.10 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope? (Ignore the mass of the rope.)

Answer:T=116.84 N

Explanation:

Given

Weight of hiker =1040 N

acceleration a=1.1 m/s^2

Force exerted by Rope is equal to Tension in the rope

F_{net}=T=ma_{net}

T=\frac{1040}{g}\times 1.1

T=116.84 N

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

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.

The filament in the bulb is moving back and forth, first pushed one way and then the other. What does this imply about the curre
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector

Explanation:

The current is defined by

       i = dQ / dt

this is the number of charges per unit area over time.

The movement of the charge carriers (electrons) is governed by the applied potential difference, when the filament has a movement the drag speed of these moving electrons should change slightly.

But the energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector of the electromagnetic wave

            S = 1 / μ₀ EX B

It moves at the speed of light and its speed depends on the properties of the doctor and is not disturbed by small changes in speed, therefore the current in the circuit does not change due to this movement
