The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 156 cm. The center of mass of the motorcycle, including the ri

der, is 77.5 cm above the ground and halfway between the wheels. Assume the mass of each wheel is small compared to the body of the motorcycle. The engine drives the rear wheel only. What horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle will make the front wheel rise off the ground?

Answer:

a = 9.86 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

distance between the centers of wheel = 156 cm

center of mass of motorcycle including rider = 77.5 cm

horizontal acceleration of motor cycle = ?

now,

The moment created by the wheels must equal the moment created by gravity.

take moment about wheel as it touches the ground, here we will take horizontal distance between them.

then, take the moment around the center of mass. Since the force on the ground from the wheels is horizontal, we need the vertical distance.

now equating both the moment

m g d = F h

d is the horizontal distance

h is the vertical distance

m g d = m a h

term of mass get eliminated

g d = a h

so,

a = \dfrac{g\ d}{h}

a = \dfrac{9.8\times 0.78}{0.775}

a = 9.86 m/s²

Answer:

James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down

Explanation:

Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards

so here we can say

Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow

while if we find the other force which is acting downwards

then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced

so here we have

F_{down} L_1 = W_{snow} L_2

so here we have

F_{down} = \frac{L_2}{L_1} (W_{snow})

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force

An energy source forces a constant current of 2A to flow through a light bulbfilament for twenty seconds. If 4.6 kJ is given off
QveST [7]

Answer:

The voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V

Explanation:

The voltage drop equation is given by:

V=\frac{\Delta W}{\Delta q}

Where:

ΔW is the total work done (4.6kJ)

Δq is the total charge

We need to use the definition of electric current to find Δq

I=\frac{\Delta q}{\Delta t}

Where:

I is the current (2 A)

Δt is the time (20 s)

2=\frac{\Delta q}{20}

q=40 C

Then, we can put this value of charge in the voltage equation.

V=\frac{4600}{40}=115 V

Therefore, the voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V.

I hope it helps you!

How do you find the normal force here? I forgot

Normal force is mass x gravity, so mass x 9.81

The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3. What is its density in kg/m3?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
1 g = 1 ÷ 1000 kg
= 0.001 kg

1 cm³ = 1 ÷ 100 ÷ 100 ÷ 100 m³
= 0.000001 m³

1 g/cm³ = 1 g / 1 cm³
= 0.001 kg / 0.000001 m³
= 1000 kg/m³

The density is 1000 kg/m³.
