Answer:

The speed at which the ball rolled off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table.

The position vector of the ball can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

When the ball reaches the ground, its position will be:

r final = (3, -4)

Then:

3 = x0 + v0x · t

-4 = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table, x0 and y0 = 0. v0y is also 0 ( see the initial velocity vector in the figure to elucidate why). Then:

3 m = v0x · t

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

We can solve for "t" in the equation of the y-component and use it in the equation of the x-component to obtain v0x:

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-4 m = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

8 m / 9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 0.9 s

Then:

3 m = v0x · 0.9s

3 m/ 0.9 s = v0x

v0x = 3.3 m/s

The speed at which the ball roll off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 51.9 N . When the rock is totally i
Luden [163]

Answer:

\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

When the rock is immersed in unknown liquid the forces that act on it are shown as under

1) Tension T by the string

2) Weight W of the rock

3) Force of buoyancy due to displaced liquid B

For equilibrium we have T_{3}+B = W_{rock}

T_{3}+\rho _{Liquid}V_{rock}g=W_{rock}.....(\alpha)

When the rock is suspended in air for equilibrium we have

T_{1}=W_{rock}....(\beta)

When the rock is suspended in water for equilibrium we have

T_{2} + \rho _{water}V_{rock}g=W_{rock}.....(\gamma)

Using the given values of tension and solving α,β,γ simultaneously for \rho _{Liquid} we get

W_{rock}=51.9N\\31.6+1000\times V_{rock}\times g=51.9N\\\\11.4+\rho _{liquid}V_{rock}g=51.9N\\\\

Solving for density of liquid we get

\rho _{liquid}=\frac{51.9-11.4}{51.9-31.6}\times 1000

\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}

the end of the tracks, 8.8 m lower vertically, is a horizontally situated spring with constant 5 × 105 N/m. The acceleration of
devlian [24]

Answer

Assuming the mass of the car, m = 43000 kg

initial speed u = 0

vertical distance moved, h = 8.8 m

spring constant k = 5 x  10⁵ N / m

acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

From law of conservation of energy ,

Gravitational potential energy at starting position =potential energy of the spring at maximum compression

                m g h =\dfrac{1}{2}k x^2

                x = \sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}}

                x = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 43000\times 9.8\times 8.8}{5\times 10^5}}

                    x = 14.83 m

If the mass of the car is equal to 43000 Kg the spring is compressed to 14.83 m

if the earth were to cease rotating about its axis,then what is the increase in the value of gravity?
IrinaK [193]
There is no adjustment in gravity, yet there is an adjustment in 'weightness'. 
Gravitational compel and weight with respect to an edge are not similar things, despite the fact that it is normally educated something else. 
Weight is really the aggregate of gravitational powers and of inertial drive for a question very still (no Coriolis compel) in a given casing. 
In the event that the Earth were not pivoting, weight would increment most at the Equator and be unaltered at the Poles.
