two people, each with a mass of 70 kg, are wearing inline skates and are holding opposite ends of a 15m rope. One person pulls f

orward on the rope by moving hand over hand and gradually reeling in more of the rope. In doing so, he exerts a force of 35N [backwards] on the rope. This causes him to accelerate toward the other person. Assuming that the friction acting on the skaters is negligible, how long will it take for them to meet? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

7.75 s

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

35 N = (70 kg) a

a = 0.5 m/s²

Given v₀ = 0 m/s and Δx = 15 m:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(15 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.5 m/s²) t²

t = 7.75 s

adoni [48]

Answer:

3311N

Explanation:

r = radius = 600m

V = speed = 150m/s

Mass = weight = 70kg

The weight of pilot when calculated due to circular motion

W = tv

Fv = mv²/r

Fv = 70x150²/600

Fv = 79x22500/600

= 15750000/600

= 2625N

Real Weight of the pilot = m x g

= 70 x 9.8

= 686N

The apparent Weight is calculated by

Mv²/r + mg

= 2625N + 686N

= 3311 N

Therefore the apparent Weight is 3311N

Wrapping paper is being unwrapped from a 5.0-cm radius tube, free to rotate on its axis. if it is pulled at the constant rate of
lisov135 [29]
So the equation for angular velocity is

Omega = 2(3.14)/T

Where T is the total period in which the cylinder completes one revolution.

In order to find T, the tangential velocity is

V = 2(3.14)r/T

When calculated, I got V = 3.14

When you enter that into the angular velocity equation, you should get 2m/s

A proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V0 and gains a speed v0. If it were accelerated instead through
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The speed is \sqrt{2}v_{0}.

(a) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference V= V_{0}

Speed v = v_{o}

If it were accelerated instead

Potential difference V'=2V_{0}

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of initial work done on proton

W = q V

We know that,

\Delta W=\Delta K.E

q V=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

q V_{0}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2

v_{0}^2=\dfrac{2qV_{0}}{m}....(I)

If it were accelerated instead through a potential difference of 2 V_{0}, then it would gain a speed will be given as :

Using an above formula,

v_{0}'^2=\dfrac{2qV_{0}}{m}

Put the value of V_{0}

v_{0}'^2=\dfrac{2q\times2V_{0}}{m}

v_{0}'=\sqrt{\dfrac{4qV_{0}}{m}}

v_{0}'=\sqrt{2}v_{0}

Hence, The speed is \sqrt{2}v_{0}.

A red ball, initially at rest, is simultaneously hit by a blue ball traveling from west to east at 5 m/s and a green ball travel
andrezito [222]

Answer:

C. Between North and West

Explanation:

Since all have equal masses and the red ball and green ball are moving in south and east direction, the blue ball would most likely be moving between the north and West direction.

A girl pushes an 18.15 kg wagon with a force of 3.63 N. what is the acceleration?
Anton [14]

Divide the force given by mass and you will find the acceleration of the object :-

F = m × a

3.63 = 18.15 × a

3.63 = 18.15a

a = 3.63/18.15

a = 0.2 m/s^2

hope it helps!
