Answer:

A reference frame is that frame to which the qualities of an object are related:

For instance - an object may described by - mass, speed, acceleration, size, etc,

It is important to remember that Newton's Laws of motion do not hold in accelerated reference frames -

Einstein's laws of special relativity are only true in frames that move with contant speed to one another

What is the total resistance in the circuit? (include unit in answer - ohms)

solmaris [256]

Answer:60 ohms

Explanation:

R1=30 ohms

R2=15 ohms

R3=15 ohms

Let the total resistance be R

R=R1 + R2 + R3

R=30 + 15 +15

R=60

Total resistance is 60 ohms

An 67-kg jogger is heading due east at a speed of 2.3 m/s. A 70-kg jogger is heading 61 ° north of east at a speed of 1.3 m/s. F

ololo11 [35]

Answer

given,

mass of jogger = 67 kg

speed in east direction = 2.3 m/s

mass of jogger 2 = 70 Kg

speed = 1.3 m/s in 61 ° north of east.

jogger one

$P_1 = m_1 v_1 \hat{i}$

$P_1 = 67 \times 2.3\hat{i}$

$P_1 = 154.1 \hat{i}$

$P_2 = m_2 v_2 \hat{i} +m_2 v_2 \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times v cos \theta \hat{i} +70\times v sin \theta \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times 1.3 cos 61^0 \hat{i} +70\times 1.3 sin 61^0\hat{j}$

$P_2 = 44.12\hat{i} +79.59\hat{j}$

now

P = P₁ + P₂

$P = 198.22 \hat{i} +79.59 \hat{j}$

magnitude

$P = \sqrt{198.22^2 + 79.59^2}$

$P =213.60 kg.m/s$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{79.59}{198.22}$

$\theta = 21.87$

the angle is $\theta = 21.87$ north of east

One end of a thin rod is attached to a pivot, about which it can rotate without friction. Air resistance is absent. The rod has

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

6.86 m/s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by doing the total energy balance, i.e:

initial (KE + PE) = final (KE + PE). { KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy}

Since the rod comes to a halt at the topmost position, the KE final is 0. Therefore, all the KE initial is changed to PE, i.e, ΔKE = ΔPE.

Now, at the initial position (the rod hanging vertically down), the bottom-most end is given a velocity of v0. The initial angular velocity(ω) of the rod is given by ω = v/r , where v is the velocity of a particle on the rod and r is the distance of this particle from the axis.

Now, taking v = v0 and r = length of the rod(L), we get ω = v0/ 0.8 rad/s

The rotational KE of the rod is given by KE = 0.5Iω², where I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis of rotation and this is given by I = 1/3mL², where L is the length of the rod. Therefore, KE = 1/2ω²1/3mL² = 1/6ω²mL². Also, ω = v0/L, hence KE = 1/6m(v0)²

This KE is equal to the change in PE of the rod. Since the rod is uniform, the center of mass of the rod is at its center and is therefore at a distane of L/2 from the axis of rotation in the downward direction and at the final position, it is at a distance of L/2 in the upward direction. Hence ΔPE = mgL/2 + mgL/2 = mgL. (g = 9.8 m/s²)

Now, 1/6m(v0)² = mgL ⇒ v0 = $\sqrt{6gL}$

Hence, v0 = 6.86 m/s
