<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>

could anyone determinate the period knowing that it performs 4000 vibrations in 0.5 minutes, Sorry my english is bad
dexar [7]

Answer:

f = 4000 / 30 sec = 133.3    vibrations/sec

P = 1 / f = .0075 sec       period of 1 vibration

Forces that act on an object but are not equal in size
mezya [45]
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction and do not cause a change in an object's movement are called balanced forces.

forces that aren't equal in size and do cause a change in movement (what it seems like you're asking for) are called UNBALANCED FORCES

so answer (in case that wasn't clear, as I'm tired) : unbalanced forces

A solid circular plate has a mass of 0.25 kg and a radius of 0.30 m. It starts rolling from rest at the top of a hill 10 m long
KATRIN_1 [288]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of both <em>kinetic of rolling objects</em> and potential energy and the moment of inertia.

The net height from the point where it begins to roll with an inclination of 30 degrees would be

h=Lsin30

h=10sin30

h=5m

In the case of Inertia would be given by

I = \frac{mR^2}{2}

In general, given an object of mass m, an effective radius k can be defined for an axis through its center of mass, with such a value that its moment of inertia is

I = mk^2

\frac{mR^2}{2}= mk^2

\frac{k^2}{R^2}=\frac{1}{2}

Replacing in Energy conservation Equation we have that

Potential Energy = Kinetic Energy of Rolling Object

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2(1+\frac{k^2}{r^2})

9.8*5=\frac{1}{2}v^2(1+\frac{1}{2})

v^2 (1.5) = 98

v=8.0829m/s

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let that point be at a distance x from q1

Then Kq1/x^2= Kq2/ (s-x)^2

Taking square roots and simplifying, x =s /[1+(q2/q1)^0.5]

Assuming an identical distance, the rigidity of Q on 2Q is equivalent in value to the rigidity of 2Q on Q. for that reason, had the area R been stored an identical, the two forces could be equivalent. inspite of the shown fact that, via fact the area is being decreased, we could constantly consult with the equation we use to calculate those forces: F = ok(Q1xQ2)/(R^2) because R is squared and is being halved, the final result's that's it being divided by potential of a million/4. for that reason, the rigidity would be expanded by potential of four, and be 4F.
