Force X has a magnitude of 1260 pounds, and Force Y has a magnitude of 1530 pounds. They act on a single point at an angle of 4

5 degrees to each other. Find the magnitude of the equilibrant and the angle between the equilibrant and the 1260-pound force.

Answer:

Fe= 2579.68 P

α= 24.8°

Explanation:

Look at the attached graphic

we take the forces acting on the x-y plane and applied at the origin of coordinates

FX = 1260 P , horizontal (-x)

FY = 1530 P , forming 45° with positive x axis

x-y components FY

FYx= - 1530*cos(45)° = - 1081.87 P

FYy= - 1530*sin(45)° = - 1081.87 P

Calculation of the components of net force (Fn)

Fnx= FX + FYx

Fnx= -1260 P -1081.87 P

Fnx= -2341.87 P

Fny=FYy

Fny= -1081.87 P

Calculation of the components of equilibrant force (Fe)

the x-y components of the equilibrant force are equal in magnitude but in the opposite direction to the net force components:

Fnx= -2341.87 P, then, Fex= +2341.87 P

Fny= -1081.87 P P, then, Fex= +1081.87 P

Magnitude of the equilibrant (Fe)

$F_{n} = \sqrt{(F_{nx})^{2} +(F_{ny})^{2} }$

$F_{e} =\sqrt{(2341.87)^{2}+(1081.87)^{2} }$

Fe= 2579.68 P

Calculation of the direction of equilibrant force (α)

$\alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{F_{ny} }{F_{nx} } )$

$\alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{1081.87 }{2341.87} )$

α= 24.8°

I don't understand what you mean by "depth" of the steps. The flat part of the step has a front-to-back dimension, and the 'riser' has a height. I don't care about the horizontal dimension of the step because it doesn't add anything to the climber's potential energy. And if the riser of each step is 20cm high, then 3,234 of them only take him (3,234 x 0.2) = 646.8 meters up off the ground. So something is definitely fishy about the steps.

Fortunately, we don't need to worry at all about the steps in order to derive a first approximation to the answer ... one that's certainly good enough for high school Physics.

In order to lift his bulk 828 meters from the street to the top of the Burj, the climber has to provide a force of 800 newtons, and maintain it through a distance of 828 meters. The work [s]he does is (force) x (distance) = <em>662,400 joules. </em>

The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of 7.50 × 105 N, so the tracks push forward on th

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

Explanation:

Statement is incomplete. Complete description is presented below:

<em>A freight train has a mass of </em> $1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ <em>. The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of </em> $7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ <em>, so the tracks push forward on the locomotive with a force of the same magnitude. Ignore aerodynamics and friction on the other wheels of the train. How long, in seconds, would it take to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour?</em>

If locomotive have a constant net force ( $F$ ), measured in newtons, then acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second, must be constant and can be found by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F}{m}$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the freight train, measured in kilograms.

If we know that $F = 7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ and $m = 1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ , then the acceleration experimented by the train is:

$a = \frac{7.50\times 10^{5}\,N}{1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg}$

$a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time taken to accelerate the freight train from rest ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is determined by the following formula:

$t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}$ (2)

Where:

$v$ - Final speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = 22.222\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the time taken by the freight train is:

$t = \frac{22.222\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 542.265\,s$

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

A spring with a spring constant of 0.70 N/m is stretched 1.5 m. What was the force?

Talja [164]

Answer:

1.05 N

Explanation:

K = 0.7 N/m

e = 1.5 m

F = ?

from Hooke's law of elasticity

F = Ke

= 0.7×1.5

= 1.05 N

An astronaut takes what he measures to be a 10-min nap in a space station orbiting Earth at 8000 m/s. A signal is sent from the

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

longer than

Explanation:

given,

time of nap = 10 min

speed of orbiting earth = 8000 m/s

c is the speed of light

using the equation of time dilation

$t' = \dfrac{t}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}$

now inserting all the values

$t' = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{8000^2}{3\times 10^8)^2}}}$

$t' = \dfrac{10}{0.9999}$

t' = 10.001 s

on solving the above equation we will get a value greater than 10minutes.

hence, On earth time of nap measured will be longer than 10 min
