Whenever we represent forces using vectors, we ensure that the vector begins at the point of force exertion. In the case of weight, the point of exertion of the force is known as the center of gravity, which is the point through which the weight of an object can be said to act. Therefore, the downward arrow representing the weight would begin at the center of gravity of the object.

A Red Rider bb gun uses the energy in a compressed spring to provide the kinetic energy for propelling a small pellet of mass 0.
Kay [80]

Answer:

a.6.5025 J

b.6.5025 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of pellet,m=0.27 g=0.27\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg=1000 g

Spring constant,k=1800 N/m

x=8.5 cm=8.5\times 10^{-2} m

1m=100 cm

a.Potential energy stored in the compressed spring  is given by

P.E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

P.E=\frac{1}{2}(1800)(8.5\times 10^{-2})^2

P.E=6.5025 J

b.By using law of conservation of energy

P.E of spring=K.E of the pellet

K.E of the pellet=6.5025 J

Se deja caer una moneda desde cierta altura. Si se desprecian los efectos del aire, ¿cómo varía la fuerza neta sobre la moneda a
forsale [732]

Answer:

Ok, primero pensemos en una situación normal.

La moneda comienza a caer, pero la moneda esta inmersa en una sustancia, el aire. El aire comienza a aplicar una resistencia al movimiento de la moneda, y esta resistencia incremente a medida que la velocidad de la moneda incremente. Llega un punto en el que esta nueva fuerza es igual a la fuerza gravitatoria, y en sentido opuesto, lo que causa que la fuerza neta sea 0, y que la moneda caiga a velocidad constante hasta que esta impacta con el suelo.

Ahora, en este caso tenemos que ignorar los efectos del aire, entonces no hay ninguna fuerza que se oponga a la fuerza gravitatoria, entonces la fuerza neta no cambia a medida que cae (La fuerza neta cambia cuando la moneda impacta el suelo).

También se puede analizar el caso en el que, como la fuerza gravitatoria decrece con el radio al cuadrado, a medida que la moneda cae, la fuerza gravitatoria incrementa. El tema es que en para estas dimensiones, ese cambio en la fuerza gravitacional es imperceptible,

An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at 12.8 m/s2 . At t1 the rocket e
Simora [160]

Answer:4.39 s

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity u=0

acceleration a=12.8 m/s^2

velocity acquired by sled in t_1 time

v=0+at

v=12.8t_1

distance traveled by sled in t_1 s

v^2-u^2=2as

(12.8t_1)^2-0=2\times 12.8\times s_1

s_1=6.4\cdot t_1^2

distance traveled in t_2 time with velocity v=12.8t_1

s_2=v\times t_2

s_2=12.8\times t_1\times t_2

s_2=12.8\cdot t_1\cdot t_2

s_1+s_2=5.37\times 10^3

6.4t_1^2+12.8t_1t_2=5370----1

t_1+t_2=97.7 s

t_2=97.7-t_1

substitute the value of t_2 in 1

we get

6.4t_1^2-1250.56t_1+5370=0

thus t_1=\frac{1250.56-1194.33}{12.8}=4.39 s

t_1=4.39 s

A 174 pound Jimmy Cheek is riding on a 54 ft diameter Ferris Wheel. The normal force on Jimmy Cheek is 146 pounds when Jimmy is
Veronika [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of Forces, the centripetal Force and Newton's second law.

I will also attach a free body diagram that allows a better understanding of the problem.

For there to be a balance between weight and normal strength, these two must be equivalent to the centripetal Force, therefore

F_c = W-N

m\omega^2r = W-N

Here,

m = Net mass

\omega= Angular velocity

r = Radius

W = Weight

N = Normal Force

m\omega^2r = 174-146

The net mass is equivalent to

F = mg \rightarrow m = \frac{F}{g}

Then,

m = \frac{174lb}{32.17ft/s^2}

Replacing we have then,

(\frac{174lb}{32.17ft/s^2})\omega^2 (54ft) =174lb-146lb

Solving to find the angular velocity we have,

\omega = 0.309rad/s

Therefore the angular velocity is 0.309rad/s
