Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

An object is said to be in stable equilibrium if its potential energy is minimum and the force acting on the object is zero.

When the base of an object is too broad so that the vertical line passing through its centre of gravity line passes though this base, it is said to be in stable equilibrium. \

Thus, option (b) is correct.

Answer:b

Explanation:

Object will be stable if its center of gravity lies over its base of support.

If the center of gravity is above the center of buoyancy then it provides positive righting moment and the object floats over the liquid and such object is said to possess positive meta-centric height.

Two astronauts (each with mass 100 kg) are drifting together through space. They are connected to each other by a rope 5 m in le

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

1000 kgm²/s, 400 J

1000 kgm²/s, 1000 J

600 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of astronauts = 100 kg

d = Diameter

r = Radius = $\frac{d}{2}$

v = Velocity of astronauts = 2 m/s

Angular momentum of the system is given by

$L=mvr+mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2\times 100\times 2\times 2.5\\\Rightarrow L=1000\ kgm^2/s$

The angular momentum of the system is 1000 kgm²/s

Rotational energy is given by

$K=I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}(mr^2)\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow K=mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=100\times 2^2\\\Rightarrow K=400\ J$

The rotational energy of the system is 400 J

There no external toque present so the initial and final angular momentum will be equal to the initial angular momentum 1000 kgm²/s

$L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow 2mv_ir_i=2mv_fr_f\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{v_ir_i}{r_f}\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{2\times 2.5}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow v_f=10\ m/s$

Energy

$E_2=mv_f^2\\\Rightarrow E_2=100\times 10\\\Rightarrow E_2=1000\ J$

The new energy will be 1000 J

Work done will be the change in the kinetic energy

$W=E_2-E\\\Rightarrow W=1000-400\\\Rightarrow W=600\ J$

The work done is 600 J

A 0.001kg bullet is fired with a velocity of 800m/s into a soft wood of mass 1kg resting on a smooth surface. Find the final vel

V125BC [204]

The final velocity of the bullet+block is 0.799 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, the total momentum of the bullet-block system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Mathematically, we can write:

$mu+MU=(m+M)v$
