Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

Since the steel bar is uniform, its center of mass must be at its geometric center as well, which is at the same spot as the 75kg mass hanging. So the total mass is 75 + 5 = 80 kg.

Suppose g = 10m/s2, we can then calculate the weight of the system:

W = Fg = 80 * 10 = 800 N

As the weight is at the center with 2 ropes supporting on 2 ends, weight should be evenly distributed on each rope. So each rope is subjected to a tension force of

T = 800 / 2 = 400 N

Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic. If the
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

-20.0 m/s and 30.0 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved:

m (30.0) + m (-20.0) = m v₁ + m v₂

30.0 − 20.0 = v₁ + v₂

10.0 = v₁ + v₂

Since the collision is perfectly elastic, energy is also conserved.  Since there's no rotational energy or work done by friction, the initial kinetic energy equals the final kinetic energy.

½ m (30.0)² + ½ m (-20.0)² = ½ mv₁² + ½ mv₂²

(30.0)² + (-20.0)² = v₁² + v₂²

1300 = v₁² + v₂²

We now have two equations and two variables.  Solve the system of equations using substitution:

1300 = v₁² + (10 − v₁)²

1300 = v₁² + 100 − 20v₁ + v₁²

0 = 2v₁² − 20v₁ − 1200

0 = v₁² − 10v₁ − 600

0 = (v₁ + 20) (v₁ − 30)

v₁ = -20, 30

If v₁ = -20, v₂ = 30.

If v₁ = 30, v₂ = -20.

So either way, the final velocities are -20.0 m/s and 30.0 m/s.
