Answer:
Explanation:
the center of mass formula
Ycm= [(m₁y₁) + (m₂y₂) + (m₃y₃)] / (m₁+m₂+m₃)
Rope forms the x axis and position of centre of different massses are above or below it so they represent their location on y - axis.
y₁ = 1.6 , y₂ = .7 and y₃ = - 2.1
Ycm ( given ) = - .5
Putting the values of masses and positions
- .5 = 80 x 1.6 + 20 x .7 + m₃ x - 2.1 / ( 80 + 20 + m₃ )
- .5 = 128 + 14 + m₃ x - 2.1 / ( 100+ m₃ )
- 50 - .5 m₃ = 142 - 2.1 m₃
1.6 m₃ = 192
m₃ = 120 kg .
B )
Total downward force is weight of total mass = 80 + 20 + 120
= 220 kg
weight = 220 x 9.8 = 2156 N .
component of weight perpendicular to rope
= 2156 cos 15 = 2082.53 N
This force will be equally distributed over each tree , so force on each tree = 2082.53 / 2 = 1041.26 N .
C because when the part gets out of the probe it would no longer stay contacted
Answer:
the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.
Explanation:
For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.
Starting point. Compressed spring
Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²
Final point. When the box hits the ground
Em_f = K = ½ m v²
since friction is zero, energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²
v =
x
Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.
It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier.
Scientific notation is a system used in order to It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier. It is useful as it allows very large number that would take a lot of space to write otherwise, and it allows them to be calculated easier.
for example is a incredible large number, but written in this form is immediately understandable and useful for calculation.
