A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30

kg mass hanging from it at the 60-cm mark. Determine the position on the meter stick at which one would hang a third mass of 0.60 kg to keep the meter stick balanced.

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

Answer:

70 cm mark

Explanation:

m1 = 0.5 kg

m2 = 0.3 kg

m3 = 0.6 kg

let the third mass is at d cm from 50 cm mark. take moments about the 50 cm mark.

Anticlockwise torque = clock wise torque

0.5 x ( 50 - 20) + 0.6 x d = 0.3 (60 - 50)

0.5 x 30 + 0.6 d = 0.3 x 10

15 + 0.6 d = 3

0.6 d = - 12

d = - 20 cm

So, it means third mass is at 20 cm right to the 50 cm mark. So, it is at 70 cm mark.

A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 2.05 104 m/s. What will its speed be wh
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The value is  v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  initial speed is u =  2.05 *10^{4} \  m/s

 Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

             T__{E}} =  KE__{i}} +  KE__{e}}

Here  KE_i is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

          KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  u^2

=>       KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  (2.05 *10^{4})^2

=>       KE_i =  2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J

And  KE_e is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

       KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v_e^2

Here v_e is the escape velocity from earth which has a value v_e =  11.2 *10^{3} \  m/s

=>    KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  (11.3 *10^{3})^2

=>    KE_e =  6.272 *10^{7} \  \  m  \ \   J

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

        KE_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

        T__{E}} =  KE_p

So

       2.101 *10^{8}  m  +  6.272 *10^{7}  m  =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

=>     5.4564 *10^{8} =   v^2

=>     v =  \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}

=>     v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

A book sitting on a table is moved horizontally. Describe the
Akimi4 [234]

Frictional force and Applied force has same “magnitude” and “opposite” direction.  

Option: B  

<u>Explanation</u>:  

When a book is moved horizontally by applying “force” on the book, the frictional force is opposed to the book by the table. Here, this “frictional force” is opposing the book has the same force what we applied on the book but this frictional force and the applied force are opposite in direction. Always the “frictional force” is opposite to the “applied force” which stops the object to move. For example, if a force applied leftward to the object the frictional force is acted on the right side of the object.

When two objects are in contact they experience a "frictional force". This "frictional force" acts opposite to the force applied on to move the object.

Formula for "frictional force" is \mu\times N

Where, \mu is coefficient of friction and N is normal force.

6. A 2-kg ball B is traveling around in a circle of radius r1 = 1 m with a speed (vB)1 = 2 m/s. If the attached cord is pulled d
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball m = 2kg

Ball traveling a radius of r1= 1m.

Speed of ball is Vb = 2m/s

Attached cord pulled down at a speed of Vr = 0.5m/s

Final speed V = 4m/s

Let find the transverse component of the final speed using

V² = Vr²+ Vθ²

4² = 0.5² + Vθ²

Vθ² = 4²—0.5²

Vθ² = 15.75

Vθ =√15.75

Vθ = 3.97 m/s.

Using the conservation of angular momentum,

(HA)1 = (HA)2

Mb • Vb • r1 = Mb • Vθ • r2

Mb cancels out

Vb • r1 = Vθ • r2

2 × 1 = 3.97 × r2

r2 = 2/3.97

r2 = 0.504m

The distance r2 to the hole for the ball to reach a maximum speed of 4m/s is 0.504m

The required time,

Using equation of motion

V = ∆r/t

Then,

t = ∆r/Vr

t = (r1—r2) / Vr

t = (1—0.504) / 0.5

t = 0.496/0.5

t = 0.992 second
