Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 1.50 m long. One person lifts at one end with a force of

410 N, and the other lifts the opposite end with a force of 710 N.
a. What is the weight of the motor?
b. Where along with the board is its center of gravity located?
c. Suppose the board is not light but weighs 200, with its center of gravity at its center, and the two people each exert the same forces as before. What is the weight of the motor in this case?
d. Where is its center of gravity located?

Answer:

a) The weight of the motor is 1120 N

b) The distance of the center of gravity is 1.71 m

c) The weight of the motor is 920 N

d) The distance of the center of gravity is 1.79 m

Explanation:

a) The expression of the forces acting in the vertical direction is:

wmotor = F1 + F2

F1 = 410 N

F2 = 710 N

wmotor = 410 + 710 = 1120 N

b) The momentum of equilibrium about the center of the gravity is:

F1 * x = F2 * (l - x)

Clearing x:

$x=\frac{2.7*710}{1120} =1.71m$

c) The expression for the forces acting in the vertical direction is:

wboard + wmotor = F1 + F2

wmotor = F1 + F2 - wboard

wmotor = 410 + 710 - 200

wmotor = 920 N

d) The same that b)

$w_{motor} (\frac{l}{2} )+w_{board} x=F_{2} l\\x=\frac{2.7*710-200\frac{2.7}{2} }{920} =1.79m$

Which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a false st

icang [17]

Explanation :

Dispersion forces are also known as London dispersion forces. It is the weakest force. Also, it is the part of the Van der Waals forces.

(1) This force is exhibited by all atoms and molecules.

(2) These forces are the result of the fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Due to these fluctuations, the electric field is created. The magnitude of this force is explained in terms of Hamaker constant 'A'.

(3) Dispersion forces result from the formation of instantaneous dipoles in a molecule or atom. When electrons are more concentrated in a place, instantaneous dipoles formed.

(4) Dispersion force magnitude depends on the amount of surface area available for interactions. If the area increases, the size of the atom also increase. As a result, stronger dispersion forces.

So, the false statement is "Dispersion forces always have a greater magnitude in molecules with a greater molar mass".

An engineer is designing a runway. She knows that a plane, starting at rest, needs to reach a speed of 180mph at take-off. If th

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The plane would need to travel at least $8,\!580\; {\rm ft}$ ( $8.58 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}$ .)

The $10,\!000\; {\rm ft}$ runway should be sufficient.

Explanation:

Convert unit of the the take-off velocity of this plane to $\rm ft\cdot s^{-1}$ :

$\begin{aligned}v &= 180\; {\rm mph} \\ &= 180\; {\rm mi \cdot hrs^{-1}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm hrs}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \times \frac{5280\; {\rm ft}}{1\; {\rm mi}} \\ &= 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Initial velocity of the plane: $u = 0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Take-off velocity of the plane $v =264\; {\rm ft\cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Let $x$ denote the distance that the plane travelled along the runway. Since acceleration is constant but unknown, make use of the SUVAT equation $x = ((u + v) / 2) \, t$ .

Notice that this equation does not require the value of acceleration. Rather, this equation make use of the fact that the distance travelled (under constant acceleration) is equal to duration $t$ times average velocity $(u + v) / 2$ .

The distance that the plane need to cover would be:

$\begin{aligned}x &= \left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)\, t \\ &= \frac{0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}} + 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}}{2} \times 65.0\; {\rm s} \\ &= 8.58\times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}\end{aligned}$ .

What is average velocity?

Ber [7]

The average speed of an object is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. Velocity is a vector quantity, and average velocity can be defined as the displacement divided by the time. According To a website on google

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9380 km from Mars's center, while Deimos orbits at 23

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The ratio is $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 3.965$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of Phobos orbit is R_2 = 9380 km

The radius of Deimos orbit is $R_1 = 23500 \ km$

Generally from Kepler's third law

$T^2 = \frac{ 4 * \pi^2 * R^3}{G * M }$

Here M is the mass of Mars which is constant

G is the gravitational constant

So we see that $\frac{ 4 * \pi^2 }{G * M } = constant$

$T^2 = R^3 * constant$

=> $[\frac{T_1}{T_2} ]^2 = [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^3$

Here $T_1$ is the period of Deimos

and $T_1$ is the period of Phobos

So

$[\frac{T_1}{T_2} ] = [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}$

=> $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = [\frac{23500 }{9380} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}]$

=> $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 3.965$
