Aristotle (who made quite a lot of observations about the spherical nature of the Earth) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the Earth orbits places it directly between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow in the process), the shadow on the Moon's surface is round.

Mashcka [7]

a)

• P = F/A

P = pressure = 630 N/m^2

F = force

A = area

F = mg = 0.50 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N

m= mass

g= gravity

P = F/A

A = F/P

A = 4.9 N / 630 N/m^2 = 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b)

• Area of a circle = pi* radius ^2

7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 = pi* radius ^2

√(7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 / pi ) = radius

radius = 0.04976 m

Answers:

a ) 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b) 0.04976 m

The cabinet is mounted on coasters and has a mass of 45 kg. The casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating. The coeff
stira [4]

Answer:

the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the cabinet  m = 45 kg

coefficient of static friction μ =  0.30

A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;

The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.

Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :

\sum f_y =0

The upward force and the downward force is :

N_A+N_B = mg

where;

\mathbf { N_A  \ and  \ N_B} are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .

N_A+N_B = 45*9.8

N_A+N_B = 441    ------- equation (1)

Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:

\sum f_x = 0

F_A +F_B  = P

where ;

\mathbf{ F_A \ and \ F_B } are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.

which can be written also as:

\mu_s N_A + \mu_s N_B  = P

\mu_s( N_A +  N_B)  = P

replacing our value from equation (1)

P = 0.30 ( 441)    

P = 132.3 N

Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm

the largest value of "h" allowed for  the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition  of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at N_A and it is shifted to N_B:  

Then:

\sum M _B = 0

P*h = mg*0.24

h =\frac{45*9.8*0.24}{132.3}

h = 0.8 m

Thus; the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

A 6.0 m wire with a mass of 50 g, is under tension. A transverse wave, for which the frequency is 810 Hz, the wavelength is 0.40
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) t = 0.0185 s = 18.5 ms

b) T = 874.8 N

Explanation:

a)

First we find the seed of wave:

v = fλ

where,

v = speed of wave

f = frequency = 810 Hz

λ = wavelength = 0.4 m

Therefore,

v = (810 Hz)(0.4 m)

v = 324 m/s

Now,

v = L/t

where,

L = length of wire = 6 m

t = time taken by wave to travel length of wire

Therefore,

324 m/s = 6 m/t

t = (6 m)/(324 m/s)

<u>t = 0.0185 s = 18.5 ms</u>

<u></u>

b)

From the formula of fundamental frquency, we know that:

Fundamental Frequency = v/2L = (1/2L)(√T/μ)

v = √(T/μ)

where,

T = tension in string

μ = linear mass density of wire = m/L = 0.05 kg/6 m = 8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹

Therefore,

324 m/s = √(T/8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹)

(324 m/s)² = T/8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹

<u>T = 874.8 N</u>

What is the momentum of an object that is moving in a straight line at a speed of 10 m/s and has a mass of 10 kilograms?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass and its velocity:
p=mv
where m is the mass and v the velocity.

For the object in our problem, m=10 kg and v=10 m/s, therefore its momentum is
p=mv=(10 kg)(10 m/s)=100 kg m/s
So, the correct answer is B).
