Gravity would be extremely weak, not to mention there’s no air to catch the chute

Because you would fall so slow that you would not need one.

A 50 g mass is freely hanging from a horizontal meter stick at a distance of 99 cm from the pivot. Calculate the weight force W

Neko [114]

Answer:

W = 0.49 N

τ = 0.4851 Nm

Force

Explanation:

The weight force can be found as:

W = mg

W = (0.05 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

W = 0.49 N

The torque about the pivot can be found as:

τ = W*d

where,

τ = torque

d = distance between weight and pivot = 99 cm = 0.99 m

Therefore,

τ = (0.49 N)(0.99 m)

τ = 0.4851 Nm

The pivot exerts a FORCE on the meter stick because the pivot applies force normally over the stick and has a zero distance from stick.

2. What do you understand by balanced and unbalanced force

labwork [276]

Answer:

forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction. Balanced forces do not result in any change in motion. unbalanced. forces: forces applied to an object in opposite directions that are not equal in size. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion.

What is hooke's law? does it apply to elastic materials or to inelastic materials?

zysi [14]

When you talk about Hooke's law, it always have to do something with springs. Hooke's Law, from Robert Hooke, saw a relation between the force applied to the spring and the extension of its length. The equation is: F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the original and stretched lengths. In other words, x is the length of deformation. Hence, the object must be elastic to come up with a displacement or deformation, in the first place. Then, the Hooke's Law is only applicable to elastic materials.

Car a with mass 1,783 kg collides with stationary 1600 kg car b. they become locked together after the collision and move with s

ValentinkaMS [17]

The initial speed of car A is 15.18 m/s.

Momentum is defined as mass in motion. If there are two objects (the two objects in motion or only one object in motion and the other in stationary) that collide and no other forces work in the system, the law of momentum conservation applies in the system.

p=p'

pa+pb = pa'+pb'

(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')

ma = mass of object A (kg) = 1,783 kg
mb = mass of object B (kg) = 1,600 kg
va = speed of object A before collides (m/s)
va' = speed of object A after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
vb = speed of object B before collides (m/s) = 0 m/s
vb' = speed of object B after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
p = momentum before collision (Ns)
p' = momentum after collision (Ns)

(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')

(1,783×va) + (1,600×0) = (1,783×8) + (1,600×8)

(1,783×va) + 0 = 14,264+12,800

(1,783×va) = 27,064

$va \:=\: \frac{27,064}{1.783}$

va = 15.18 m/s
