Explanation:

The x and y coordinates of the center of mass are:

xcm = ∫ x dm / m = ∫ x ρ dA / ∫ ρ dA

ycm = ∫ y dm / m = ∫ y ρ dA / ∫ ρ dA

Assuming uniform density, the center of mass is also the center of area.

xcm = ∫ x dA / ∫ dA = ∫ x y dx / A

ycm = ∫ y dA / ∫ dA = ∫ ½ y² dx / A

First, let's find the area:

A = ∫ y dx

A = ∫₀ᵃ (-h/a² x² + h) dx

A = -⅓ h/a² x³ + hx |₀ᵃ

A = -⅓ h/a² (a)³ + h(a)

A = ⅔ ha

Now, let's find the x coordinate of the center of mass:

xcm = ∫ x y dx / A

xcm = ∫₀ᵃ x (-h/a² x² + h) dx / (⅔ ha)

xcm = ∫₀ᵃ (-h/a² x³ + hx) dx / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (-¼ h/a² x⁴ + ½ hx²) |₀ᵃ / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (-¼ h/a² (a)⁴ + ½ h(a)²) / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (¼ ha²) / (⅔ ha)

xcm = ⅜ a

Next, we find the y coordinate of the center of mass:

ycm = ∫ y² dx / A

ycm = ∫₀ᵃ ½ (-h/a² x² + h)² dx / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ∫₀ᵃ ½ (h²/a⁴ x⁴ − 2h²/a² x² + h²) dx / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⅕ h²/a⁴ x⁵ − ⅔ h²/a² x³ + h² x) |₀ᵃ / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⅕ h²/a⁴ (a)⁵ − ⅔ h²/a² (a)³ + h² (a)) / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⁸/₁₅ h²a) / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ⅖ h

pentagon [3]
His power output was 3 Watt (360 Joule/120 seconds). The power output can be calculated by dividing the quantity of work by the amount of second needed for the activity and also by multiplying the force amount with the velocity of the activity. The power output usually used for measuring the ability of machine for doing its job.

How fast is a 180 kg motorcycle traveling if it has 36000 J of kinetic energy??
leva [86]

Answer:

20 ms⁻¹

360 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object solely due to its motion.

You can get the K.E. of an object using the equation,

K.E. =  (1/2)mv² where all terms in usual meaning

So you get,

K.E. = 36000 =  (1/2)×180×v²

v = 20 ms⁻¹

Also,

K.E. =  (1/2)×80×3² = 360 J

Which of the following graphs best represents the relationship between the gravitational potential energy of a freely falling ob
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The last graph.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at a given height from the Earth's surface.

The formula to find the gravitational potential energy is given as:

U=mgh

Where, 'U' is the gravitational potential energy.

'm' is the mass of the body.

'g' is the acceleration of the body due to gravity.

'h' is the height of the body above the Earth's surface.

So, from the above equation, it is clear that, gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height. So, as height increases, the gravitational potential energy increases. At the surface of Earth, where, height is 0, the gravitational potential energy is also zero.

Therefore, the correct graph is a straight line with positive slope and passing through the origin. So, the last option is the correct one.

Rotational dynamics about a fixed axis: A person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

I = 2 kgm^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:

\tau=I\alpha     (1)

I: moment of inertia of the door

α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2

τ: torque exerted on the door

You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:

\tau=Fd        (2)

F: force = 5.00 N

d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:

Fd=I\alpha\\\\I=\frac{Fd}{\alpha}

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:

I=\frac{(5.00N)(0.800m)}{2.00rad/s^2}=2kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2
