Centripetal force = (mass) x (speed)² / (radius)
= (20 kg) x (20 m/s)² / (20 m)
= (20 x 20 / 20) (kg-meter/sec²)
= 20 newtons
Answer:
The ice melts mass is:

Explanation:
Kinetic Energy



Heat gained by ice= mass(g) x 80 cal
( 1 cal = 4.184 *10^7er or g cm^2/ sec^2)
Assuming no loss in heat, in the motion so both continue with temperature 0~C
To find so the mass (gm) of ice melted


The weight of the meterstick is:

and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance

from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:

from which we find the value of d2:

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
Answer:
a) 141.6m
b) 8.4m/s
Explanation:
a) to find the total displacement you use the following formula for each trajectory. Next you sum the results:

hence, the total distance is 141.6m
b) the mean velocity of the total trajectory is given by:

hence, the mean velocity is 8.4 m/s
