A carpenter apprentice was killed when he was struck in the head by a nail that was fired from a powder actuated tool. The tool operator, while attempting to anchor a plywood form in preparation for pouring a concrete wall, fired the gun, causing the nail to pass through the hollow wall. The nail traveled some twenty-seven feet before striking the victim. The tool operator had never received training in the proper use of the tool, and none of the employees in the area were wearing personal protective equipment. What should be recommended to prevent this accident from happening again?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The recommendations that need to be urgently addressed by the workshop and it's employees are

1) Training of all employees (particularly the tool operators) on the safe and proper use of all tools used in the course of the carpentry work.

2) Training of all employees in health, safety and environment (HSE). This training will help them appreciate the importance of always wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when at the workshop or during the course of a work (because if the apprentice was putting on an engineer's helmet, he could have been safe).

3) Employees who fail to adhere strictly to the use of PPE should be sanctioned or even dismissed from the workplace

A jet starts at rest at the end of a runway and reaches a speed of 80 m/s in 20 s. What is its acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

80/2= 40 m/s^2.

Explanation:

A jet starts at rest at the end of a runway and reaches a speed of 80 m/s in 20 s.  Its acceleration is 4 m/sec².

What is acceleration?

The rate at which an item changes its velocity is known as acceleration, a vector quantity. If an object's velocity is changing, it is acceleration.

The net acceleration that objects get as a result of the combined action of gravity and centrifugal force is known as the Earth's gravity, or g. It is a vector quantity whose strength or magnitude is determined by the norm and whose direction correlates with a plumb bob.

acceleration = change in velocity / time

acceleration = 80 / 20

acceleration = 4 m/sec²

A jet starts at rest at the end of a runway and reaches a speed of 80 m/s in 20 s.  Its acceleration is 4 m/sec².

3. Daniel stands on a bridge over a river. He drops a coin and notes that the coin takes 3 s to reach the river below.

He must be standing

above the river.

A 10 m

B. 15 m

C. 30 m

D. 45 m

Answers

Answer:

45 m

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the coin = 0 m/s  (since he dropped it from his hands)

time spent in falling - 3 sec

distance s = ?

using

s = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]g[tex]t^{2}[/tex]

where

s is the distance the stone fell

u is the initial velocity

t is the time spent falling

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2 (positive downwards)

substituting values, we have

s = (0 x 3) +  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](10 x [tex]3^{2}[/tex])

s = 45 m

science numerical problem .Hari drag a load a of 60 kg along a distance of 12 m . what amount of work does he do? as 0 mention the type of work​

Answers

We don't know, and we don't have enough information to calculate it.

The weight of the 60kg load is (m g) = 588 Newtons.

IF Hari wanted to lift the load 12m straight up, he would have to do

(Force x distance) = (588 N) x (12 m) =  7,056 Joules of work.

But to drag it, he has to provide enough force to balance out the force of friction, and we don't know how much that is. It depends on the weight of the load, the shape of the load, the smoothness of the part of the load that sits on the ground, and the smoothness of the ground.  But the only thing we know is the weight of the load.

The above are questions related to the formula of force F = m * a i.e. mass * accleration. It is defined by the Newton's second law of motion.

In the attachment, I can see that Question 1) and Question 2) are already done, So lemme start from Question 3[tex])[/tex]

3) Provided:-

Force applied = 7000 NOn a ball of mass = 0.5 kg

To FinD:-

Acceleration of the ball...?

By using formula,

⇛ F = ma

⇛ 7000 N = 0.5 kg × a

⇛ a = 7000 / 0.5 m/s²

⇛ a = 14000 m/s²

So, the ball acclerates at the rate of 14000 m/s².

4) Provided:-

Accleration of the truck = 10 m/s²On a truck of mass = 31200 kg

To FinD:-

Force applied on the truck..?

By using formula,

⇛ F = ma

⇛ F = 31200 kg × 10 m/s²

⇛ F = 312000 kg/m/s²

⇛ F = 312000 N

So, force on the truck = 312000 N

5) a) Force applied = 100 N

Mass applied = 5 kg

Then, Acceleration = 100 ÷ 5 = 20 m/s²

b) Force applied = 100 N

Mass applied = 10 kg

Then, Acceleration = 100 ÷ 10 = 10 m/s²

c) Force applied = 100 N

Mass applied = 20 kg

Then, Acceleration = 100 ÷ 20 = 5 m/s²

d) Force applied = 100 N

Mass applied = 50 kg

Then, Acceleration = 100 ÷ 5 = 2 m/s²

And we are done !!

Car A of mass 1500 kg travelling at 25 m/s collides with another car B of mass 1000 kg travelling at 15 m/s in the same direction. After collision, the velocity of car A becomes 20 m/s. Calculate the velocity of car B after collision.

Answers

Answer:

Apparently this has been asked a few years ago, so I copied this answer from deepikakvvk06 - - all credit goes to them!

velocity of car 'B' after collision is 22.5m/s. //it's a conservation of momentum question

Explanation:

Let ,

mass = m

initial velocity = u

final velocity = v

here ,

m₁= 1500 kg

m₂=1000 kg

u₁ = 25 m/s

u₂ = 15 m/s

v₁ = 20 m/s

we have to find v₂ !!

v₂ is the velocity after collision

Here is a formula relating the values given ,

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂+v₂

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = 1500 × 25 + 1000 ×15

= 37500 + 15000

= 52500

m₁v₁ + m₂+v₂ = 1500 × 20 + 1000 × v₂

= 30000 + 1000v₂

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂+v₂

52500 = 3000 + 1000v₂

1000v₂ = 52500 - 30000

1000 v₂ = 22500

v₂ = 22500/1000

= 22.5 m/s

Thus, velocity of car 'B' after collision is 22.5m/s.

Answer = 10²² stars/observable universe

The number of stars in the observable universe is; 10²² stars/observable universe.

How many stars are in the observable universe?

Since there are about 100 billion stars in our galaxy; we can rewrite that to be;

100 billion stars/galaxy

However, there are about 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

Since our galaxy is one of the 10¹¹ observable galaxies in the universe; the number of stars in the observable universe is;

(100 billion stars/galaxy) x (100 billion galaxies/universe)

= (100 billion x 100 billion) stars

= 10,000 billion billion stars

= 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars

= 10²² stars/observable universe

Therefore, the number of stars in the observable universe is; 10²² stars/observable universe.

The car was initally traveling at 25 m/s. The car slows with a negative acceleration as shown. How long does it take the car to slow to a final velocity of 2.0 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

t = 2.35s

Explanation:

Using one of the equation of motion expressed as v = u+at where;

v is the final velocity = 2.0m/s

u is the initial velocity = 25m/s

a is the acceleration = -a (since the acceleration is negative)

t is the time taken

Substituting the given parameters into the formula above;

2.0 = 25-9.81t

subtract 25 from both sides

2.0 - 25 = 25-9.81t - 25

-23 = -9.81t

Divide both sides by -9.81

-23/-9.81 = -9.81t/-9.81

t = 23.0/9.81

t = 2.35s

Hence it took the car 2.35s to slow to a final velocity of 2.0 m/s

Displacement is the diatnce moves in a specified direction. It is the shortest distance covered  by the dog. The displacement of the dog can be gotten by using the pythagoras theorem as shown;

According to the theorem, a²+b² = d² where d is the displacement

Substituting the given value into the fofrmula;

3²+4² = d²

9+16 = d²

d² = 25

square root both sides

√d² = √25

d = √25

d = 5 metres

Hence the displacement of the dog is 5metres

The displacement d (m) of a block sliding along a straight line is given by the equation d = -0.65 t + 0.21 t2, where t is the time in seconds. What is the instantaneous velocity of the block when t = 2.0 s?

Answers

Answer:

0.19m/s

Explanation:

velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time. Given the displacement d (m) of a block sliding along a straight line is given by the equation d = -0.65 t + 0.21 t², where t is the time in seconds, instantaneous velocity is expressed by differentiating the displacement with respect to time

Velocity = dd/dt

Velocity = -0.65 + 2(0.21)t²⁻¹

Velocity = -0.65 + 0.42t

The instantaneous velocity of the block when t = 2.0 s can be gotten by substituting t = 2.0s into the expression above:

Velocity = -0.65 + 0.42(2)

Velocity = -0.65 + 0.84

Velocity = 0.19

Hence the instantaneous velocity of the block when t = 2.0 s is 0.19m/s

The Falcon 9 launches to a height of 123 meters. What is its vertical initial velocity? 3. An apple falls from rest off a 10.m m tree. How long will it take before it hits the ground?

Answers

Answer:

1.) h = 164.8 m

2.) U = 49.1 m/s

3.) t = 1.43 seconds

Explanation:

1.) A soccer ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 5.8 seconds to fall to the ground. The height of the building is...? 

Since the soccer ball is dropped from the building, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero

Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Substitutes the time into the formula

h = 1/2 × 9.8 × 5.8^2

h = 164.8 m

2. The Falcon 9 launches to a height of 123 meters. What is its vertical initial velocity?

At maximum height final velocity = 0

Using the third law of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 123

U^2 = 2410.8

U = 49.1 m/s

3. An apple falls from rest off a 10.m m tree. How long will it take before it hits the ground?

Since the apple fall from rest, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero

Using the second equation of motion,

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

substitute all the parameters into the formula

10 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

10 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 10/4.9

t^2 = 2.04

t = 1.43 seconds

A speed skater moving to the left across frictionless ice at 8.0 m/s hits a 5.0-m-wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continues on at 6.0 m/s. What is her acceleration on the rough ice?

Answers

Answer:

Acceleration, [tex]a=-2.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The initial speed of a speed skater, u = 8 m/s

The final speed of a speed skater, v = 6 m/s

Width of patch of rough ice, s = 5 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. Acceleration can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(6)^2-(8)^2}{2\times 5}\\\\a=-2.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration on the rough ice is [tex]2.8\ m/s^2[/tex]. Negative sign shows that its speed is decreased.

what is the momentum in Kg m/s of a 10 kg truck travelling at A) 5 m/s B) 20 cm/s C) 36 km/h?​

Answers

Answer:

A)   50 kg m/s

B)  2 kg m/s

C)  100 kg m/s

Explanation:

Recall that momentum is a physical quantity defined by the product of the object's mass times its velocity. Therefore, in our case the truck's momentum (p) is:

A)  p = m * v = 10 kg * 5 m/s = 50 kg m/s

B) p = m * v = 10 kg * 0.20 m/s = 2 kg m/s (notice that the velocity in cm/s was converted into m/s before multiplying)

C) the conversion from km/h to m/s is a little more involved, so we taclke it first:

since 1 km = 1000 m  and 1 hour = 3600 seconds, we convert 36 km/h by replacing each unit by its m and s expression as shown below:

[tex]36 \frac{km}{h} =36\,\frac{1000\,m}{3600\,\,s}=10\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Then, the momentum is:  p = m * v = 10 kg * 10 m/s = 100 kg m/s
