Height of baby carriage from ground = 21m

Mass of carriage with baby = 1.5 kg

The carriage has potential energy by virtue of its height.

Potential energy = mgh = 1.5×10×21 = 315 J

Hence, potential energy of the carriage is 315 Joule.

A vaulter holds a 26.90-N pole in equilibrium by exerting an upward force U with her leading hand and a downward force D with he
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Check attachment for better understanding

Explanation:

Given that

a= 0.75m

b=1.31m

c= 2.2m

Weight of pole is 26.90

Then, Fg = Weight = 26.90

Using Equilibrium of forces

ΣFy = 0

U — D — Fg = 0

U — D = Fg

U — D = 26.9

To calculate U,

We will take moment about point A.

ΣMa = 0

Let the clockwise moment be positive and anti-clockwise be negative

Fg(a+b) — U(a) = 0

26.9(1.31+0.75) —0.75U = 0

26.9(2.06) = 0.75U

0.75U = 55.414

U = 55.414/0.75

U = 73.89 N

To calculate D,

U — D = 26.9

73.89—D =26.9

73.89—26.9 = D

D = 46.99N

The two uniform, slender rods B1and B2, each of mass 2kg, are pinned together at P, and then B1is suspended from a pin at O. (Th
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

hello the diagram relating to this question is attached below

a) angular accelerations : B1 = 180 rad/sec,  B2 = 1080 rad/sec

b) Force exerted on B2 at P = 39.2 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Co = 150 N-m ,

<u>a) Determine the angular accelerations of B1 and B2 when couple is applied</u>

at point P ; Co = I* ∝B2'

                150  = ( (2*0.5^2) / 3 ) * ∝B2

∴ ∝B2' = 900 rad/sec

hence angular acceleration of B2 = ∝B2' + ∝B1 = 900 + 180 = 1080 rad/sec

at point 0 ; Co = Inet * ∝B1

                  150 = [ (2*0.5^2) / 3  + (2*0.5^2) / 3  + (2*0.5^2) ] * ∝B1

∴ ∝B1 = 180 rad/sec

hence angular acceleration of B1 =  180 rad/sec

<u>b) Determine the force exerted on B2 at P</u>

T2 = mB1g + T1  -------- ( 1 )

where ; T1 = mB2g  ( at point p )

                 = 2 * 9.81 = 19.6 N

back to equation 1

T2 = (2 * 9.8 ) + 19.6 = 39.2 N

Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract.
Zina [86]

The statement ‘Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract’ is false. The answer is letter B. The big bang theory suggests that the origin of the universe began with that exploded and expanded. It also states that the universe began in a single form of high condensed reactive matter and exploded forming the galaxies, planets, stars and other celestial bodies.

Which type of telescope does not require darkness in order to be able to use it?
exis [7]

Answer:

A type of telescope that does not require darkness in order to be able to use it is the refracting telescope

Explanation:

A refracting telescope consists of  a lens and an eyepiece collects light which is then focused to present a magnified, bright and clear  image.

The incident light on a refracting telescope is bent by refraction such that the light is focused to the focal point.

In refracting telescopes, the image is formed by bending light, that is by refraction.

The refracting telescope technology has been applied to binoculars and camera zoom lenses.
