ASK YOUR TEACHER A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 51.5-gram mass is attach

ed at the 16.0-cm mark, the fulcrum must be moved to the 39.2-cm mark for balance. What is the mass of the meter stick

Answer:

0.114 kg or 114 g

Explanation:

From the diagram attaches,

Taking the moment about the fulcrum,

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.

Wd = W'd'

Where W = weight of the mass, W' = weight of the meter rule, d = distance of the mass from the fulcrum, d' = distance of the meter rule.

make W'  the subject of the equation

W' = Wd/d'................ Equation 1

Given: W = mg = 0.0515(9.8) = 0.5047 N, d = (39.2-16) = 23.2 cm, d' = (49.7-39.2) = 10.5 cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

W' = 0.5047(23.2)/10.5

W' = 1.115 N.

But,

m' = W'/g

m' = 1.115/9.8

m' = 0.114 kg

m' = 114 g

A rubber-wheeled 50 kg cart rolls down a 35 degree concrete incline. Coefficient of rolling friction between rubber and concrete
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

(a) 5.62 m/s²

(b) 5.46 m/s²

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass,

m = 50 kg

angle

= 35°

(a)

If friction neglected,

⇒ F_x=mgSin \theta=ma

⇒ a_x=gSin \theta

       =9.8 \ Sin35^{\circ}

       =5.62 \ m/s^2

(b)

If friction present,

⇒ F_x=mgCos \theta

⇒ F_x=mgSin \theta-\mu_r mgCos \theta

⇒ a=gSin \theta-\mu_rgCos \theta

      =9.8 \ Sin35^{\circ}-0.02\times 9.8 \ Cos30^{\circ}

      =5.46 \ m/s^2

How fast must a 1000 kg car be moving to have a kinetic energy of 1.0 kWh
pickupchik [31]
From definition 1 kWh = 3600000 J

The formula for KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
3600000 = 1/2 * 1000 * v^2
3600000 = 500v^2
v^2 = 7200
v = 84.85 m/s
