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

The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile such as a bullet. The projectile of mass m is fired
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Relation between initial speed of bullet and height h is given as

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

Explanation:

As we know that system of block and bullet swings up to height h after collision

So we have

(m + M)gh = \frac{1}{2}(m + M)v_1^2

so we have

v_1 = \sqrt{2gh}

so speed of the block + bullet just after the impact is given by above equation

Now we also know that there is no force on the system of bullet + block in the direction of motion

So we can use momentum conservation

mv = (m + M)v_1

now we have

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

Friction occurs when microscopic hills and valleys stick together<br><br> true or false
Reika [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. Rougher surfaces have more friction between them. Heavier objects also have more friction because they press together with greater force. Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.

The normal force acting on an object and the force of static friction do zero work on the object. However the reason that the wo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The normal force is perpendicular to the displacement</em>

<em>The static friction force produces no displacement</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By Special Forces

The work is a physical magnitude that measures the dot product of the force applied to an object by the displacement it produces in it.

W=\vec F\ \vec r

It can be written in its scalar version as

W=F.d.cos\theta

Being F and d the magnitudes of the force and displacement, and \theta the angle between them

If the angle is zero, the work is at maximum, it the angle is 90°, the work is zero. If the angle is between 90° and 180°, the work is negative.

The normal force acts in the vertical direction when the object is being pushed horizontally. It means the angle between the force and the displacement is 90°, thus the work is

W=N.d.cos90^o=0

The work is zero because the force and the displacement are perpendicular

The static friction force exists only when the object is being applied a force of a magnitude not large enough to produce movement, i.e. the object is at rest. If the object is moved, the friction force is still present, but it's called dynamic friction force, usually smaller than the static.

Since in this case, there is no displacement, d=0, and the work is

W=F_r(0)cos180^o=0
