Answer: 1.348 meters

Explanation: Although the sign is missing from the location of the 4.00 kg object, it is assumed to be positive. The net moment of all the objects about the center of mass must be zero. Let the center of mass be on the y axis at a point  c . Adding the four moments together, we get:

(2.00)(3.00−c)+(3.00)(2.50−c)+(2.50)(0−c)+(4.00)(0.500−c)=0

6.00−2.00c+7.50−3.00c+0−2.50c+2.00−4.00c=0

11.5c=15.50

c=  1.348 metres

The center of mass is on the y axis at  y  = 1.348 metres.

Two metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. one has a speed of 90 km/hr, the other 80 km/hr. initially
Gennadij [26K]

The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

v_A=90 km/h\\ v_B=-80 km/h

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

v_A_B=v_A-v_B\\ =(90km/h)-(-80km/h)\\ =170km/h

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for v_A_B

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}\\ =\frac{2.71 km}{170 km/h} \\ =0.01594 h

Express the time in seconds.

t=(0.01594h)(3600s/h)=57.39s

Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.

Match the property of a sound wave to the correct definition. A. amplitude . B. frequency  . C. period . D. pitch  E. loudness 
Maru [420]

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.

The platform height for Olympic divers is 10 m. A 60 kg diver steps off the platform to begin his dive.
azamat

Answer:

a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c)   W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]

Explanation:

a)

The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]

b)

Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]

c)

The work is equal to

W = 5886 [J]

d)

We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.

v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]

By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.

m*g - F = m*a

F = m*a - m*g

F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)

F = 1763.4 [N]
