Answer:

a) It takes 6,37 s b) The Velocity is -59,43 m/s

Explanation:

The initial variables of the balloon are:

Xo = 0 m

Vo = 3 m/s

After one minute the situation is the following:

t= 60 s

X1 = Xo + Vo*t

X1= 0 m + 3 m/s * 60s

X1= 180m

So when the bag falls, its initial variables are the following:

Xo = 180m

X1 = 0m

Vo = 3 m/s

V1= ?

a= -9,8 m/s2

The ecuation of movement for this situation is:

X = Vo*t + 1/2 a*t^{2}

So:

-180m = 3m/s*t+ 1/2*-9,8 m/s2 * t^{2}

To solve this we have

a=-9,8/2

b=3

c=180

The formula is:(-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}) /2a

Replacing, we get to 2 solutions, where only the positive one is valid because we are talking about time.

<u>So the answer a) is t= 6,37 s</u>

With that answer we can find the question b), with the following movement formula.

Vf = Vo + at

Vf = +3 m/s + (-) 9,8 m/s2 *6,37s

b) Vf = -59,43 m/s

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.087 m

Explanation:

Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m

Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.

time period, T = 3  s

the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}}    .... (1)

where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12

By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is

I = Ic + md²

I = \frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}

Substituting the values in equation (1)

3 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}}{mgd}}

9=4\pi^{2}\times \left ( \frac{\frac{L^{2}}{12}+d^{2}}{gd} \right )

12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 =  0

d=\frac{26.84\pm \sqrt{26.84^{2}-4\times 12\times 2.25}}{24}

d=\frac{26.84\pm 24.75}{24}

d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m

d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.

Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.

What is the difference between internal and external force
AnnZ [28]

Answer:External forces are forces caused by external agent outside of the system. Internal forces are forces exchanged by the objects in the system.

Explanation:or our purposes, we will simply say that external forces include the applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance force. And for our purposes, the internal forces include the gravity forces, magnetic force, electrical force, and spring force.HOPE THIS HELPS!!! ^w^

Heather drops a ball weighing 0.50kg a distance of 2.0m. If the speed of the ball right after it bounces is the same speed of th
ki77a [65]
The speed of the ball just before impact was v=√(2gh) = 6.26m/s.  The acceleration is twice this over the time (twice because the second speed is the same in the other direction, meaning the total change in speed is 2V)
a = 12.52/0.10 = 125.2m/s²
The force is F=ma, so F = 0.5kg·125.2m/s² = 62.6N
