Differentiate between center of mass and center of gravity

Physics
1 answer:
ELEN [110]3 years ago

Answer:

Centre of mass is the point at which the distribution of mass is equal in all directions, and does not depend on gravitational field. Centre of gravity is the point at which the distribution of weight is equal in all directions, and does depend on gravitational field.

The tires on your truck have 0.35 m radius. In a straight line, you drive 2600 m. What is the angular displacement of the tire,
Travka [436]
1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement \theta is given by
\theta =  \frac{S}{r}
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire: S=2600 m. Using the information about the radius, r=0.35 m, we find the total angular displacement:
\theta =  \frac{2600 m}{0.35 m} =7428 rad

2) If we put larger tires, with radius r=0.60 m, the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
\theta =  \frac{2600 m}{0.60 m}=4333 rad

Describe each class of lever and explain to characteristics of each
Nataly [62]

-- Class I lever

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage can be anything, more or less than 1 .

Example:  a see-saw

-- Class II lever

The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.

The Mechanical Advantage is always greater than 1 .

Example:  a nut-cracker, a garlic press

-- Class III lever

The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage is always less than 1 .

I can't think of an example right now.

A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m / s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency ki
Mila [183]

Answer:

547 m

Explanation:

From law of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where "t" is Time taken to reach Earth

s= distance= 182 m

a= vertical acceleration = 5.82 m / s 2

U= initial velocity in vertical position = 0

182= ½ × 5.82t²

t²=( 2× 182)/ 5.82

= 364/5.82

= 62.54

t= √62.54

t= 7.908s

horizontal distance travelled = speed x time

Horizontal speed= 72.6 m / s

horizontal distance travelled =72.6× 7.908

= 547 m

Hence, the survivor will it hit the waves at 547 m away

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total di
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1keff=1k1+1k2

see further explanation

Explanation:for clarification

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?

From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Now the spring is in series combination

F\alphae

F=ke

k=f/e.........*

where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality

k=f/e

f_{eff} =f_{1} +f_{2}............................1

also for effective force constant

divide all through by extension

1) Total force is

Ft=F1+F2

Ft=k1e1+k2e2

F = k(e1+e2) 2)

Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so

k1e1=k2e2

e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,

and e1+e2=F/keq

Substituting e1 and e2, you get

1/keq=1/k1+1/k2

Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.
