Answer:

F_1= Mg- \frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

and

F_2=\frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

Explanation:

distance of Center of mass from his feet = L

Mass of man = M

Radius of turn = R

Speed = v

distance between the feet =d

Centrifugal force = M×v×v/R = F

Moment due to this force = FL

now as per the situation in the question

force on feet = Force on feet 1 + force on feet 2 = F1 + F2 = Mg

Now, balancing the moment we get by taking moment about feet 2

moment about feet 2 ( outward in the turn) = moment due to centrifugal force ( + ve ) + moment due to weight ( -ve ) + moment due to normal on foot 1 ( + ve) = 0

⇒\frac{Mv^2L}{r} -\frac{Mgd}{2}+\frac{F_1 d}{2} = 0\

solving the above equation we get

F_1= Mg- \frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

therefore,

F_2=\frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

weeeeeb [17]

The two cars have same momentum

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the equation

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the car A in this problem,

m = 5 kg

v = 10 m/s

So its momentum is

p_A = (5 kg)(10 m/s) = 50 kg m/s

For car B we have,

m = 10 kg

v = 5 m/s

So its momentum is

p_B = (10 kg)(5 m/s)=50 kg m/s

Therefore, the two cars have same momentum.

Express 0.00000000062 kg in scientific notation. 6.2 x 1010kg 6.2 x 10-10kg 0.62 x 10-9kg
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The scientific notation of the measurement 0.00000000062 kg would be <span>6.2 x 10^-10 kg. Scientific notation is used to express too large and too small values of numbers. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.</span>
