I'm not quite sure how the formula works. I thought it was
55*6*9.81 = N
Weight * acceleration * gravity = N
My answer was wrong. Could anyone help me understand this question, please?

"When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 55.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. Calculate the force (in N) she must exert if her deceleration is 6.00 times the acceleration of gravity."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Of course yes, after my explanation you will understand very well how to analyze this type of problems.

First, we must differentiate the weight of the mass, the mass has units of kilograms or pounds, while the weight is the product of the mass by gravitational acceleration. In this way, we have the following formula for the weight of anybody.

w = m*g

where:

w = weight [N] (units of Newtons]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

When we have the product of these units [kg]*[m/s²], We are always going to get as a result the units of Newtons [N], The Newton is a unit of force.

Now, to solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF  = forces acting over the gymnast [N]

m = mass = 55 [kg]

a = desacceleration = 6*9.81 = 58.86 [m/²]

Now we have two forces acting over the gymnast the first one is his or her weight (the mass by the gravity acceleration) and the second force is the one made it by his or her legs upwards in order to be standing. Let's take as positive signs the movements and forces upwards and negative downwards

- (m*g) + Fl = m*a

where:

Fl = force made it by the legs [N]

As the deceleration is upward because it prevents the person from continuing to go down, it is taken as a positive sign.

- (55*9.81) + Fl = (55*58.86)

Fl =  (55*58.86) + (55*9.81)

Fl = 3776.85 [N]

I hope you can understand :)

How fast does water flow from a hole at the bottom of a very wide, 7.1 mm deep storage tank filled with water

Answers

Answer:

The water will move faster

Explanation:

This happens as part of the consequences of the continuity of an incompressible fluid, of which water is an example.

so as the water emerges from the wider section the flow velocity increases and vice versa.

Hence the flow velocity in indirectly proportional to the area

The continuity equation is given below for our analysis

[tex]A1V1=A2V2\\[/tex]-------------------1

where

            A1= the area of the wider section of the tank

            V1= the flow velocity from the wider section

            A2= the area of the hole at the bottom

            V2= velocity of flow at the bottom.

If an 800.0 Kg sports car slows to 8.0 m/s in the forward direction to check out an accident scene and a 1200.0 kg pick-up truck behind them continues traveling at 15.0 m/s forward, with what velocity will the two move if they lock bumpers after a rear-end collision

Answers

Answer:

12.2m/s

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m1=800kg

velocity v1=8m/s

mass m2= 1200kg

velocity v2=15m/s

Note: the two bodies move with the same velocity after collision, hence the common velocity is v=?

Step two:

the expression for the total momentum is

m1v1+m2v2=v(m1+m2)

substituting we have

800*8+1200*15=v(800+1200)

6400+18000=v(2000)

24400=2000v

divide both sides by 2000 to find v

v=24400/2000

v=12.2m/s

Their common velocity is 12.2m/s

If each of the three rotor helicopter blades is 3.50 m long and has a mass of 120 kg , calculate the moment of inertia of the three rotor blades about the axis of rotation.

Answers

Answer:

1470kgm²

Explanation:

The formula for expressing the moment of inertial is expressed as;

I = 1/3mr²

m is the mass of the body

r is the radius

Since there are three rotor blades, the moment of inertia will be;

I = 3(1/3mr²)

I = mr²

Given

m = 120kg

r = 3.50m

Required

Moment of inertia

Substitute the given values and get I

I = 120(3.50)²

I = 120(12.25)

I = 1470kgm²

Hence the moment of inertial of the three rotor blades about the axis of rotation is 1470kgm²

A hydrogen atom in an excited state absorbs a photon of wavelength 411 nm. What were the initial and final states of the hydrogen atom?

Answers

Answer:

The initial and final states of the hydrogen atom were n=2 and n=6 respectively.

Explanation:

We must first obtain the energy of the photon;

E= hc/λ

where;

h= Plank's constant = 6.6 * 10^-34 JS

c= speed of light = 3* 10^8 m/s

λ = wavelength of light= 411 nm = 411* 10^-9 m

Substituting values;

E = 6.6 * 10^-34 * 3* 10^8 / 411* 10^-9

E = 4.8 * 10^-19 J or 3.0 eV

But ;

En = 13.6/n^2

So E = En final - En initial

3.0  = -13.6(1/n^2final - 1/n^2initial)

If we substitute n^2final = 6 and n^2 initial = 2 then the RHS becomes approximately equal to the LHS

Therefore the initial and final states of the hydrogen atom were n=2 and n=6 respectively.

A penny and a quarter are embedded in the concrete bottom of a swimming pool filled with water. Which of these coins experiences the greater downward force due to water pressure acting on it? Explain.

Answers

Answer: The quarter, because it has a larger surface area.

Explanation:

remember the equation:

Pressure = Force/Area

Now, if we isolate Force, we get:

Force = Pressure*Area.

The pressure will be the same for both coins, but the area is not.

Then the one with a larger surface area will suffer a greater downward force. (We can consider the area as the area of the top or bottom of the coin)

The area of a circle of diameter d, is:

A = pi*(d/2)^2

where pi = 3.14

The penny has a diameter of 19.05 mm, then its area is:

A = 3.14*(19.05mm/2)^2 = 284.87mm^2

The quarter has a diameter of 24.26mm, then the area is:

A = 3.14*(24.26mm/2)^2 = 462 mm^2

Then the quarter has a larger area, this means that the quarter will experience the greater downward force due to water pressure.

A block of wood is floating in a pool of water. How does the volume of water displaced by the block compare to the volume of the block?

Answers

Answer:

The volume of water displaced the same as the volume of the block.

Explanation:

With respect to the principle of floatation, when an object floats in a fluid; its weight is the same as the volume of the fluid displaced.

The volume of the block relates to is dimension and size which can be compared with the volume of the fluid displaced. When the block is floats in water, it would displace a reasonable volume of water.  Thus, it would be expected that the volume of water displaced by the block is equal to the volume of the block.

The statement supported by this scenario is, for Yanni, the speed of the ball is 23 m/s, and for the quarterback, the speed of the ball is 15 m/s.

Relative speed of the ball

The relative speed of the ball is determined with respect to frame of reference.

For Yanni at rest ( zero speed);

Vr/b = va + vb

Vr/b = 8 + 15 = 23 m/s

For quarterback in motion

Vr/b = va + vb

Vr/b = 0 + 15 = 15 m/s

Thus, the statement supported by this scenario is, for Yanni, the speed of the ball is 23 m/s, and for the quarterback, the speed of the ball is 15 m/s.
