Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.5 kg at (

0.0, 3.3) m, and 4.0 kg at (2.8, 0.0) m. Where should a fourth object of 7.1 kg be placed so that the center of gravity of the four-object arrangement will be at (0.0, 0.0) m?

Answer:  x = -1.6  y= -1.2

Explanation:

By definition the x- and –y coordinates of the center of mass for a discrete set of bodies, are given by the following expressions:

Xi = ∑ mi. xi  / ∑ mi

Yi = ∑ mi. yi  / ∑ mi

In order to the x- and –y coordinates of the center of mass of all the system, be (0, 0),

both num.erators in the Xi, Yi expressions must be equal to 0.

So, replacing by the values, and taking into account that the 5.0 Kg is located in the origin, we can write the following:

Xi = 2.8 . 4 Kg + X4 . 7.1 Kg = 0   → X4 = -1.6

Yi = 3.3 . 2.5 Kg + Y4 . 7.1 Kg = 0  → Y4 = -1.2

Each of 100 identical blocks sitting on a frictionless surface is connected to the next block by a massless string. The first bl
o-na [289]

Answer:

The tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51 is 50 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of block = 100

Force = 100 N

let m be the mass of each block.

We need to calculate the net force acting on the 100th block

Using second law of newton

F=ma

100=100m\times a

ma=1\ N

We need to calculate the tension in the string between blocks 99 and 100

Using formula of force

F_{100-99}=ma

F_{100-99}=1

We need to calculate the total number of masses attached to the string

Using formula for mass

m'=(100-50)m

m'=50m

We need to calculate the tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51

Using formula of tension

F_{50}=m'a

Put the value into the formula

F_{50}=50m\times a

F_{50}=50\times1

F_{50}=50\ N

Hence, The tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51 is 50 N.

During the last shot of the game, the basketball goes from rest to 15 m/s and reaches the backboard in 0.41 s. What was the acce
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

When you climb, earth exerts gravitational force on pack in downward direction(pointing towards the center of earth).

In order to climb, you need to work against work done by gravity on the pack.

Hence work done by you = work done by gravity on pack  

                                       = Force x displacement = 70 x 30 = 2100 J.

 

So you need to do 2100 joules of work to lift your pack.

Power is the rate of work done.

Therefore power = work done by you/time(in seconds)

                           =     2100/600 =3.5 watts

Which in is it Speed (S) or Velocity (V)?
Andrej [43]

Explanation:

Speed has only magnitude.

Velocity has magnitude and direction.

"A bike goes 25 m/s toward  main street."

This includes a direction, so it is velocity (V).

"A person walks 4 mph."

This has only magnitude, so it is speed (S).

"A plane flies 200 m/s."

This has only magnitude, so it is speed (S).

"A bird flies 100 mph due south."

This includes a direction, so it is velocity (V).
