Force F=2.0N i - 3.0N k acts on a pebble with position vectorr=0.50m j - 2.0m k relative to the origin. In unit vector notation,

what is the resulting torque on the pebble about (a) the origin and(b) the point (2.0m, 0,-3.0m)?a) dot product of F*r=(-3.0N)(-2.0m)=6.0Nmb) sqrt( 2.0^2+0^2+3.0^2) = sqrt(13)I've tried but not sure.Please help me.Thank you.

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Force acts on a pebble=2\hat{i}-3\hat{k} N

Position vector=r=0.5\hat{j}-2\hat{k} m

a.We have to find the resulting torque on the pebble about origin.

Torque=r\times F

Substitute the values then we get

Torque= (0.5j-2k)\times (2i-3k)

Torque=-k-1.5i-4jN-m

By using i\times j=k,j\times k=i,k\times i=j,j\times i=-k,k\times j=-i,i\times k=-j,i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0

b.r=2i-3k

r-r_1=(0.5j-2k)-(2i-3k)=-2i+0.5j+k

Torque about point (2,0,-3)

\tau=(-2i+0.5j+k)\times (2i-3k)

\tau=-6j-k-1.5i+2j=-1.5i-4j-kN-m

A 0.80 kg basketball traveling upward at 5.0 m/s impacts an 8.0 10 kg tennis ball traveling downward at 5.0 m/s. The basketball’
vlabodo [156]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. This can be defined as the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, and by conservation it will be understood that the amount of the initial momentum is equal to the amount of the final momentum. By the law of conservation of momentum,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_1 = Mass of Basketball

m_2 = Mass of Tennis ball

u_1 = Initial velocity of Basketball

u_2 = Initial Velocity of Tennis ball

v_1 = Final velocity of Basketball

v_2 = Final velocity of the tennis ball

Replacing,

(0.8)(0.5)+(0.1)(-5.0)=(0.8)(0.3)+(0.1)v_2

Solving for the final velocity of the tennis ball

v_2 = 11m/s^2

Therefore the velocity of the tennis ball after collision is 11 m/s

A 1500 kg truck is acted upon by a force that decreases its speed from 25 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 s. What is the magnitude of the for
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

F = 1,875 N

Explanation:

force=

\frac{change \: in \: momentum}{time \: taken}

∆H = m∆V

where ∆H ----> change in momentum.

( final momentum - initial momentum )

and ∆V ----> change in velocity

( final velocity - initial velocity )

and m ----> is mass

then f =

\frac{1500 \times (25 - 15)}{8}

= 1,875 N

What force is acting on a 2 kg apple falling on the Earth (g=10)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

An apple in free fall accelerates toward the Earth with a free fall acceleration, g. The force of the apple on the Earth also causes the Earth to accelerate toward the falling apple. By Newton's Third Law, the force of the Earth on the apple is exactly equal and opposite to the force of the apple on the Earth. By Newton,s Second law, the force of the Earth on the apple is equal to the mass of the apple times g , the accelerations due to gravity. And, the force of the the apple on the Earth is equal to the mass of the Earth times the acceleration of the Earth toward the apple. In conclusion, the magnitude of the forces are equal, or

F ( apple on the Earth) = F( the Earth on the apple) or

M( mass of the earth) x a( the acceleration of the earth toward the apple) = m(mass of the apple) x g( the acceleration of the apple toward the Earth) or

a = (m/M) g
