A woman makes 50% more than her husband. Together they make $2500 each month? How much does the woman earn each month?a) $950b)

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

Woman earn 50% more than her husband

Total sum of their money is $=\$ 2500$

Suppose man earns $\$ P$

so women earns $P+0.5 P=P(1+0.5)=1.5 P$

Sum of their money is

$P+1.5 P=2500$

$P=\$ 1000$

Women earns $=1.5\times 1000=\$ 1500$

Rank the following situations according to the magnitude of the impulse of the net force, from largest value to smallest value.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

I and II

III and IV

Explanation:

The impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the object involved, so we can calculate the change in momentum in each situation and compare them all.

Taking always east as positive direction, and labelling

u the initial velocity

v the final velocity

m = 1000 kg the mass (which is always equal)

We find:

(i)

u = 25 m/s

v = 0

$|I|=m(v-u)=(1000)(0-25)=25,000 Ns$

(II)

u = 25 m/s

v = 0

$|I|=m(v-u)=(1000)(0-25)=25,000 Ns$

(III)

In this case,

F = 2000 N is the force

$\Delta t = 10 s$ is the time

So the magnitude of the impulse is

$|I| =F\Delta t = (2000N)(10)=20,000 Ns$

(IV)

F = 2000 N is the force

$\Delta t = 10 s$ is the time

So the magnitude of the impulse is

$|I| =F\Delta t = (2000N)(10)=20,000 Ns$

(V)

u = 25 m/s

v = -25 m/s

$|I|=m(v-u)=(1000)(-25-25)=50,000 Ns$

So the ranking from largest to smallest is:

I and II

III and IV

A man attempts to pick up his suitcase of weight w_s by pulling straight up on the handle. (Part A figure) However, he is unable

alexira [117]

Answer:

Part A. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase minus the magnitude of the force of the pull.

Part B. The magnitude of normal force acting on the suitcase is equal to the sum of the weight of the suitcase and the man.

Explanation:

Part A. This is because when the man pulls on the suit upwards, he exerts a force in the upward direction. This takes part of the force of weight of the suitcase and decreases the force the suitcase is exerting on the ground. Thus, the normal force (force exerted by suitcase on the ground) also decreases by the same force as the pull.

Part B. The statements for this part were not given in the question, but the answer reflects what is going to happen in that scenario. Since the man sits on the suitcase, the total weight acting on the ground through the suitcase is that of the suitcase plus the man. Since this force (acting on the ground) is normal force, the statement given in the answer is correct.
