Answer:

Weight is a force.

Explanation:

Force acting on an object is defined in terms of mass and its acceleration. Its mathematical force is given by

F = ma

Weight of an object is force that the Earth exerts on an object. It can be given by the formula as follows :

W = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth

Hence, the correct option is (d).

A 2. 5 kg block is launched along the ground by a spring with a spring constant of 56 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 0.

OLga [1]

The speed of the spring when it is released is 3.5 m/s.

The given parameters:

Mass of the block, m = 2.5 kg
Spring constant, k = 56 N/m
Extension of the spring, x = 0.75 m

The speed of the spring when it is released is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

$K.E = U_x\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\mv^2 = kx^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{56 \times 0.75^2}{2.5} } \\\\v = 3.5 \ m/s$

Thus, the speed of the spring when it is released is 3.5 m/s.

A purse at radius 2.30 m and a wallet at radius 3.45 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The acceleration of the wallet is $3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of purse r= 2.30 m

Radius of wallet r'= 3.45 m

Acceleration of the purse $a=2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j}$

We need to calculate the acceleration of the wallet

Using formula of acceleration

$a=r\omega^2$

Both the purse and wallet have same angular velocity

$\omega=\omega'$

$\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{r}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{a'}{r'}}$

$\dfrac{a}{r}=\dfrac{a'}{r'}$

$\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{r'}{r}$

$\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3.45}{2.30}$

$\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$a'=\dfrac{3}{2}\times(2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j})$

$a'=3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

Hence, The acceleration of the wallet is $3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is $F = 137.2 kN$

The location of pressure center is $Z = 1.333 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the gate is $h = 3 \ m$

The weight of the gate is $w = 7 \ m$

The height of the water is $h_w = 2 \ m$

The density of water is $\rho_w = 1000 \ kg/m^3$

Note used $h_w$ for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water is mathematically represented as

$A = h_w * w$

substituting values

$A = 2* 7$

$A = 14 \ m^2$

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

$F = \rho_w * g * h_f * A$

Where

$h_f =h- h_w$

$h_f =3 -2$

$h_f = 1\ m$

$F = 1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14$

$F = 137.2 kN$

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

$Z = h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}$

Where $I_g$ is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

$I_g = \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}$

The $h_w$ is the height of gate immersed in water

$I_g = \frac{7 * 2^2 }{12}$

$I_g = 4.667\ kg m^2$

Thus

$Z = 1 + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}$

$Z = 1.333 \ m$
