Billy Bob and Bob Bob are standing on a plank that is 9.0 m long and has mass 100 kg, that has supports at the 2 m and 5 m marks

. Billy Bob has mass 50 kg and is standing on the far left side, while Bob Bob has mass 90 kg and is walking toward the far right side. Will he make it all the way to the end without tipping the plank?

Answer:

No he will not make it all the way

Explanation:

In the attached figure we can see the plank will turn only of the turning moment will be greater than the restoring moment.

balancing moment is created by weight of the plank which acts at the center of the plank thus we have

taking moments about the support A we have

Balancing moment = M_{balancing}=100\times 2.5\times 9.81=2452.5Nm

The disturbing moment created by bob equals

M_{disturbing 1}=50\times 2\times 9.81=981Nm

The maximum disturbing moment created by bob occurs when he is at the far left side equaling

M_{disturbing 2}=90\times 2\times 9.81=1765.8Nm

Thus the maximum disturbing moment is sum of the above 2 moments

M_{max}=1765.8+981=2746.8Nm which is highly greater than the stabling  moment thus he will not make it.

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

Explanation:

When a particle with charge q travels across a potential difference \Delta V, then its change in electric potential energy is

\Delta U = q \Delta V

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

V_+=0V

While the negative terminal is at potential

V_-=-12 V

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

It takes Serina 0.68 hours to drive to school. Her route is 34 km long. What is Serina's average speed on her drive to school?
shusha [124]

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 34 km / 0.68 hrs

Speed = 50 km/hr
