When they meet the 40-kg boy would have moved a distance of 6 m.

<h3>Distance moved by the 40 kg boy</h3>

Apply the principle of center mass;

Take the 40 kg mass as the reference point;

X(40 kg) = (40kg x 0  + 60kg x 10 m)/(40 kg + 60 kg)

X(40 kg) = (600)/(100)

X(40 kg) = 6 m

Thus, when they meet the 40-kg boy would have moved a distance of 6 m.

Describe the relationship between the Law of Conservation of Matter and balancing equations.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The mass of the products and reactants are the same on both sides of the equation.

The number of atoms of products and reactants are equal and hence it proves the law of conservation of mass.

A 0.43 kg hammer is moving horizontally at 5.2 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 0.014 m into
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2}  + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s

A machine has a mechanical advantage of 4.5. What force is put out by the machine if the force applied to the machine is 800 N?
Ghella [55]

If the machine's mechanical advantage is 4.5, that means that

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force) .

We know the input force, and we need to find the output force.  Rather than wander around the room looking at the floor while our hair smolders, let's try putting the numbers we know into the equation I wrote up there.  OK ?

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force)

Output force = (4.5) x (800 N)

Now dooda multiplication:

<em>Output force = 3,600 N</em> .  

That's exactly what the question asked for.  So we're done !
