11. A seesaw sits in static equilibrium. A child with a mass of 30 kg sits 1 m away from a pivot point. Another child sits 0.75
lora16 [44]

Answer:

<h2>40 kg</h2>

Explanation:

Find the diagram relating to the question for proper explanation of the question below.

Using the principle of moment

Sum of clockwise moments = Sum of anticlockwise moments

Moment = Force * perpendicular distance

For anti-clockwise moment:

Since the 30 kg moves in the anticlockwise direction according to the diagram

ACW moment = 30 * 1 = 30 kgm

For clockwise moment

If another child sits 0.75 m away from the pivot point on the opposite side, moment of the child in clockwise direction = M * 0.75 = 0.75M (M is the mass of the unknown child).

Equating both moments we have;

0.75M = 30

M = 30/0.75

M = 40 kg

The second child's mass is 40 kg

A rocket is dropped out of an airplane at 100 m/s (downward). If the rocket fires causing an upward acceleration of Ct2 and it t
Mkey [24]

Answer:

C = 0.0125 m/s⁴. The calculation procedure can be found in the attachment below. The concept of motion along a straight line with constant acceleration has been applied to solve the problem.

Explanation:

The sign convention chosen in this problem solution is upwards as positive and downwards negative. The equation of motion v = u + at has been used to calculate the constant C as only one unknown is contained in this equation. This is so because we have been given the initial velocity, the acceleration and the time taken. To solve future problems of this kind, first thing to check for is an equation of motion with the least number of unknown. This helps to reduce the complexity of the problem solution.

A hockey puck on a frozen pond is given an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. If the puck always remains on the ice and slides 115 m bef
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

μ_k = 0.1773

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity;u = 20 m/s

Final velocity;v = 0 m/s (since it comes to rest)

Distance before coming to rest;s = 115 m

Let's find the acceleration using Newton's second law of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Making a the subject, we have;

a = (v² - u²)/2s

Plugging relevant values;

a = (0² - 20²)/(2 × 115)

a = -400/230

a = -1.739 m/s²

From the question, the only force acting on the puck in the x direction is the force of friction. Since friction always opposes motion, we see that:

F_k = −ma - - - (1)

We also know that F_k is defined by;

F_k = μ_k•N

Where;

μ_k is coefficient of kinetic friction

N is normal force which is (mg)

Since gravity acts in the negative direction, the normal force will be positive.

Thus;

F_k = μ_k•mg - - - (2)

where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Thus,equating equation 1 and 2,we have;

−ma = μ_k•mg

m will cancel out to give;

-a = μ_k•g

μ_k = -a/g

g has a constant value of 9.81 m/s², so;

μ_k = - (-1.739/9.81)

μ_k = 0.1773

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure is  P_g  =  2058 \ P_a

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The height of the water contained is  h_w  =  30 \ cm  =  0.3 \ m

        The height of liquid in the cylinder is  h_t  =  40 \ cm  = 0.4 \ m

       

At the bottom of the cylinder the gauge pressure is  mathematically represented as

        P_g  =  P_w + P_o

Where  P_w is the pressure of water which is mathematically represented as

      P_w  =  \rho_w  *  g * h_w

Now  \rho_w is the density of water with a constant values of  \rho_w  = 1000 \ kg /m^3

   substituting values

      P_w  = 1000 *  9.8 *  0.3

     P_w  =  2940 \  Pa

While P_o is the pressure of oil which is mathematically represented as

          P_o  =  \rho_o *  g *  (h_t -h_w )

Where \rho _o is the density of oil with a constant value

         \rho _o  = 900 \ kg / m^3

substituting values

       P_o  =  900 *  9.8 * (0.4 - 0.3)

       P_o  =  882 \ Pa

Therefore

      P_g  =  2940 - 882

      P_g  =  2058 \ P_a
