Tasha has mass 20 kg and wants to use a 4.0-m board of mass 10 kg as a seesaw. her friends are busy, so tasha seesaws by herself

by putting the support at the system's center of gravity when she sits on one end of the board. how far is she from the support point?

The 4 m board's center of mass is 2 m so the pivot point is somewhere between Tasha and 2 m (if you draw a picture it's going to make this clearer)

 The mass of Tasha * her distance from the pivot point = the board's mass * distance from the pivot point. 
<span> Let d1 be the distance Tasha is from the pivot point. The board's center of mass from the pivot point is 2 m - d1 
</span><span> 20 kg * d1 = 10 kg * (2m - d1) 
</span><span> Solve for d1, you should get 2/3 of a m for the distance Tasha is from the pivot or support point. The center of mass for the board is 1 1/3 m from the support point. </span>

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]

We push a 38.4-kg box across the floor at constant velocity. If we are pushing a horizontal force of 238 N, find the coefficient
zmey [24]

Answer: 0.62

Explanation:

Coefficient of friction is defined as the ratio of the moving force (Fm) acting on a body to the normal reaction (R).

Note that the normal reaction acts vertically on the object and is equal to the objects weight (W) i.e W=R

Since W = mg, W = 38.4 ×10

W= 384N =R

Normal reaction = 384N

The horizontal force acting on the body will be the moving force which is 238N

Coefficient of friction = Fm/R

Coefficient of friction = 238/384

Coefficient of friction = 0.62

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.62

What is the SPEED of a ball that travels 120 m in 6s?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

20m/second

Explanation:

The reason the answer is 20m/second is because to find the speed of the ball  in this question you have to divide the distance over the time giving you the result of 20m/second
