A brick of mass 1.15 kg is attached to a thin (massless) cable and whirled around in a circle in a vertical plane. The circle ha

stira [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the brick, m = 1.15 kg

Radius of the circle, r = 1.44 m

The cable will break if the tension exceeds 43.0 N

Let v is the maximum sped can have at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break. At the bottom of the circle, the net force is equal to the centripetal force along with the weight of the brick. So,

$T=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg$

$\dfrac{T}{m}-g=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{T}{m}-g)r}$

$v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{43}{1.15}-9.8)\times 1.44}$

v = 6.30 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the brick at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break is 6.3 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two waiters are trying to get through a single door of a kitchen. One pushes on one side of a door 0.567 m from the hinge with a

NISA [10]

Answer:

$275.5 N$

Explanation:

$F_{1}$ = Force on one side of the door by first waiter = 257 N

$F_{2}$ = Force on other side of the door by second waiter

$r_{1}$ = distance of first force by first waiter from hinge = 0.567 m

$r_{2}$ = distance of second force by second waiter from hinge = 0.529 m

Since the door does not move. hence the door is in equilibrium

Using equilibrium of torque by force applied by each waiter

$r_{1} F_{1} = r_{2} F_{2} \\(0.567) (257) = (0.529) F_{2}\\F_{2} = 275.5 N$

A projectile is fired with initial speed vo at an angle of 45o above the horizontal. Assume no air resistance.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is a

Explanation:

At projectile launch speeds are

X axis vₓ = v₀ = cte

Y axis $v_{y}$ = v_{oy} –gt

The moment is defined as

p = mv

For the x axis

pₓ = mvₓ = m v₀ₓ

As the speed is constant the moment is constant

For the y axis

p_{y} = m v_{y} = m (v_{oy} –gt) = m v_{oy} - m (gt)

Speed changes over time, so the moment also changes over time

Let's examine the answer

i True

ii False. The moment changes with time

The correct answer is a
