Answer:

a. wedge

Explanation:

The wedge machine is used to separate, lift or split

objects. It is triangular in shape with a tapered formation thick and blunt on one end, thin on the other end (the edge)

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

\vec{L}=-30\frac{kgm^2}{s}\hat{k}

Explanation:

In order to calculate the angular momentum of the particle you use the following formula:

\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X\ \vec{p}       (1)

r is the position vector respect to the point (0 , 5.0), that is:

r = 0m i + 5.0m j    (2)

p is the linear momentum vector and it is given by:

\vec{p}=m\vec{v}=(2.0kg)(3.0m/s)(\hat{i+\hat{j}})=6\frac{kgm}{s}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})   (3)

the direction of p comes from the fat that the particle is moving along the i + j direction.

Then, you use the results of (2) and (3) in the equation (1) and solve for L:

\vec{L}=-30\frac{kgm^2}{s}\hat{k}

The angular momentum is -30 kgm^2/s ^k

densk [106]
From the given problem, a limit on the depression of a building is placed at 20 centimeters. To solve how many floors can be safely added, a quantity of how many cm will a building sink for each floor that is added is needed. Unfortunately, it is not found anywhere in the problem. However, we can provide a formula to solve for the depression. This is as follows:

Building depression < 20 cm

Building depression = (cm depression per floor) * (no. of floors)

In which situations is gravitational potential energy present?
Assoli18 [71]
Gravitational potential energy is associated with the shape or position of an object.
1.)When an object is placed at height h above ground, gravitational potential energy associated with it is given by,
P.E = mgh
2.)In projectile motion during upward motion, kinetic energy of object is converted into potential energy.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

v’= 279.66 m / s

Explanation:

We work this exercise using the conservation of the moment. For this we define the system formed by the two blocks, therefore the forces during the collision are internal of the action and reaction type.

Initial instant. Before the crash

        p₀ = m v₀ + 0

Final moment. After the crash

        p_f = m v + M v ’

how the tidal wave is preserved

       p₀ = p_f

       m v₀ = m v + M v ’

       v = \frac{m v_o - Mv'}{m}

let's calculate

       v ’= \frac{0.00467 \ 619 - 0.072 \ 22}{0.004676}

       v ’= \frac{2.89- 1.584}{ 0.00467}

       v ’= 279.66 m / s
