A bridge is supported by two piers located 14 meters apart. Both the left and right piers provide an upward force on the bridge,

labeled FL and FR respectively. (a) If a 1250 kg car comes to rest at a point 5 meters from the left pier, how much force (in N) will the bridge provide to the left and right piers? (Enter the magnitudes.)

Answer:

4375 N, 7875 N

Explanation:

since the body is equilibrium

total upward force = total downward force

w weight of the bridge = FL + FR

when the car was introduced,

total downward force = total upward force

FL₁ + FR₁ = w + (m × acceleration due to gravity) with w = FL + FR

then FL₁ + FR₁  = FL + FR + Mcg

FL₁ + FR₁  - FL - FR = Mcg

ΔFL + ΔFR = 1250 × 9.8 = 12250 N

taken the left as the pivot point and using the principle of moment

ΔFR × 14 m = 12250 N × 5 m + (ΔFL × 0 m) since the left is the pivot point.

ΔFR = 61250 / 14 = 4375 N

but

ΔFL + ΔFR = 12250 N

ΔFL = 12250 - 4375 = 7875 N

Froghopper insects have a typical mass of around 12.5 mg and can jump to a height of 42.3 cm. The takeoff velocity is achieved a
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

2065.005 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 42.3 - 0.2 = 42.1 cm = 0.421 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.421\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.421\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2065.005\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2065.005 m/s²

A ball rolls off the edge of a table with a fairly large horizontal velocity. Which of the following statements are true? (Selec
Degger [83]

Answer:

A.The vertical velocity is constantly increasing as the ball falls.

B.The horizontal velocity does not noticeably change as the ball falls.

G.The horizontal velocity does not affect how long it will take the ball to fall to the floor.

H.The velocity vector of the ball changes as it travels through the air.

Explanation:

As the ball is projected horizontally so here the vertical component of the velocity is zero

So the time to reach the ground is given as

H = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

so we will have

t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}

so this is the same time as the ball is dropped from H height

Since there is no force in horizontal direction so its horizontal velocity will always remain constant while vertical velocity will change at constant rate which is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

So overall the velocity vector will change due to net acceleration g

Water flows from the bottom of a storage tank at a rate of r(t) = 300 − 6t liters per minute, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 50. Find the amount
SSSSS [86.1K]

r(t) models the water flow rate, so the total amount of water that has flowed out of the tank can be calculated by integrating r(t) with respect to time t on the interval t = [0, 35]min

∫r(t)dt, t = [0, 35]

= ∫(300-6t)dt, t = [0, 35]

= 300t-3t², t = [0, 35]

= 300(35) - 3(35)² - 300(0) + 3(0)²

= 6825 liters
