A pencil has a density of 0.875 g/ml. It has a volume of 4.0 ml. Find the mass
loris [4]

Answer:

To find the mass using density and volume we just multiply them against each other which causes ml to cancel and just leaves us with grams which represents how much the item weights.

mass=density*volume

mass=0.875\frac{g}{ml}*4.0\ ml

mass=3.5\ g

Therefore, our final answer is that our pencil weight 3.5 grams

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of
Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
masya89 [10]

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.

A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at
baherus [9]

Hello!

Let's begin by doing a summation of torques, placing the pivot point at the attachment point of the rod to the wall.

\Sigma \tau = 0

We have two torques acting on the rod:
- Force of gravity at the center of mass (d = 0.700 m)

- VERTICAL component of the tension at a distance of 'L' (L = 2.200 m)

Both of these act in opposite directions. Let's use the equation for torque:
\tau = r \times F

Doing the summation using their respective lever arms:

0 = L Tsin\theta  - dF_g

dF_g = LTsin\theta

Our unknown is 'theta' - the angle the string forms with the rod. Let's use right triangle trig to solve:

tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{H}{L}) = \theta\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{1.70}{2.200}) = 37.69^o

Now, let's solve for 'T'.

T = \frac{dMg}{Lsin\theta}

Plugging in the values:
T = \frac{(0.700)(4.00)(9.8)}{(2.200)sin(37.69)} = \boxed{20.399 N}
