A 48.5 kg student runs down the sidewalk and jumps with a horizontal speed of 4.25 m/s onto a stationary skateboard. The student
storchak [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

2.39 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is conservation of momentum here in this problem so we will use the following problem:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

where the mass of the student m_1 is 48.5 kg,

the mass of the skateboard m_2 is m_2 kg,

the initial speed of the student u_1 is 4.25 m/s; and

the speed of the student and skateboard  v is 4.05 m/s.

So substituting the given values in the above formula to get:

(48.5*4.25) + (m_2 * 0) = (48.5 + m_2 ) * 4.05

206.125=196.425+4.05m_2

206.125 - 196.425 = 4.05m_2

m_2=\frac{9.7}{4.05}

m_2=2.39

Therefore, the mass of the skateboard is 2.39 kg.

55. (III) A uniform circular plate of radius 2R has a circular hole of radius R cut out of it. The center of the smaller circle
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

P = 0.27R from the center

Explanation:

Given,

The radius of the uniform circular plate, R = 2R

The radius of the hole, r = R

The center of the smaller circle from the center is, d = 0.8R

The center of mass of a circular disc with a hole in it given by the formula

                               P = dr²/R² - r²

Where P is the distance from the center of mass located in the line joining the two centers opposite to the hole.

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                               P = 0.8R x R² / 4R² - R²

                                  = 0.27R³/R²

                                  = 0.27R

Hence the center of mass of plate is at a distant  P = 0.27R from the center
