An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=584 kg, m2=838 kg, and m3=322 kg have blocke

d a busy road. The rocks are lined up from left to right in the order m1, m2, and m3. The city calls a local contractor to use a bulldozer to clear the road. The bulldozer applies a constant force to m1 in order to slide the rocks off the road. Assuming the road is a flat, frictionless surface and the rocks are all in contact, what force, ????A, must be applied to m1 to slowly accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s2?

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

Part A:
svetlana [45]
Part A:
( 5,000 : 100 ) * 6 = 300 lit.
300 lit.  * 1.066 Euros/ lit. = 318.9 Euros
1 Euro = 1.20 USD
318.9 * 1.20 = 382.68 USD

Part B :
6 lit./100 km = 0.06 lit/1 km
1 gal = 3.7853 lit.
1 mile = 1.609344 km
0.06 : 3.7853 = 0.01585
... = 0.01585 gal / 1 km  / * 1.609344
= 0.0255 gal/mile

jeyben [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Acceleration is </u><u>-10.57 rad/s²  </u>

<u>Time is </u><u>6 seconds</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>a) </h3>

u=900rpm= 94.248 rad/s  

v =300rpm= 31.416 rad/s  

s=60 revolutions= 377 rad  

v²= u²+ 2as  

31.416² = 94.248²+ 2 * a * 377  

a = v²-u² / 2s

a= -10.57 rad/s²  

<h3>b) </h3>

Using 1st equation of motion

v-u/a = t

Putting the values

t = (31.4 - 94.2)/-10.57

t = 6 seconds
