Answer:

<h2>The magnitude of force F is 18N</h2>

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force in the set up can be solved for using the principle of moment. According to the principle, the sum of clockwise moment  is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.

Moment = Force * perpendicular distance

Clockwise moments;

The force that acts clockwise is the unknown Force F and 4N force. If the  beam rests on a pivot 60 cm from end X and a Force F acts on the beam 80 cm from end X, the perpendicular distance of the force F from the pivot is 80-60 = 20cm and the perpendicular distance of the 4N force from the pivot is 60-50 = 10cm

Moment of force F about the pivot = F * 20

Moment of 4N force about the pivot = 4*10 = 40Nm

Sum of clockwise moment = 40+20F...(1)

Anticlockwise moment;

The  8N will act anticlockwisely about the pivot.

The distance between the 8N force and the pivot is 60-10 = 50cm

Moment of the 8N force = 8*50

=400Nm...(1)

Equating 1 and 2 we have;

40+20F = 400

20F = 400-40

20F = 360

F = 18N

The magnitude of force F is 18N

A car moving in a straight line starts at X=0 at t=0. It passesthe point x=25.0 m with a speed of 11.0 m/s at t=3.0 s. It passes
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

Where;

v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.

And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.

Given;

t1 = 3.0s

t2 = 20.0s

v1 = 11 m/s

v2 = 45 m/s

x1 = 25 m

x2 = 385 m

Substituting the values;

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

v = (385-25)/(20-3)

v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

a = (45-11)/(20-3)

a = 2 m/s^2
