Answer:

Momentum is always conserved, and kinetic energy may be conserved.

Explanation:

For an object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface which makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the surface, the type of collision experienced by this objects can either be elastic or an inelastic collision depending on whether the object sticks together after collision or separates and move with a common velocity after collision.

If the body separates and move with a common velocity after collision, the collision is elastic but if they sticks together after collision, the collision is inelastic.

Either ways the momentum of the bodies are always conserved since they will always move with a common velocity after collision but their kinetic energy may or may not be conserved after collision, it all depends whether they separates or stick together after collision and since we are not told in question whether or not they separate, we can conclude that their kinetic energy "may" be conserved.

A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at
baherus [9]

Hello!

Let's begin by doing a summation of torques, placing the pivot point at the attachment point of the rod to the wall.

\Sigma \tau = 0

We have two torques acting on the rod:
- Force of gravity at the center of mass (d = 0.700 m)

- VERTICAL component of the tension at a distance of 'L' (L = 2.200 m)

Both of these act in opposite directions. Let's use the equation for torque:
\tau = r \times F

Doing the summation using their respective lever arms:

0 = L Tsin\theta  - dF_g

dF_g = LTsin\theta

Our unknown is 'theta' - the angle the string forms with the rod. Let's use right triangle trig to solve:

tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{H}{L}) = \theta\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{1.70}{2.200}) = 37.69^o

Now, let's solve for 'T'.

T = \frac{dMg}{Lsin\theta}

Plugging in the values:
T = \frac{(0.700)(4.00)(9.8)}{(2.200)sin(37.69)} = \boxed{20.399 N}

a coil of 40 henry inductance is connected in series with aresistance of 8ohm and the combination is joined to the terminals of
Andreyy89

Answer: 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following :

Inductance (L) = 40 henry

Resistance = 8 ohms

The circuit given above is a Resistor - Inductor (RL) circuit network. The time constant of an RL circuit is the ratio of the circuit Inductance (L) and Resistance (R). Time constant is measured in seconds.

THAT IS;

Time constant = L / R

THEREFORE ;

Time constant = 40 / 8

Time constant = 5 seconds

Objects with masses of 135 kg and a 435 kg are separated by 0.500 m. Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objects o
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The net gravitational force on the mass is 1.27\times 10^{-5}

Explanation:

We have by Newton's law of gravity the force of attraction between masses m_{1},m_{2}

F_{att}=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Applying vales we get

Force of attraction between 135 kg mass and 38 kg mass is

F_{1}=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{135\times 38}{(0.25)^{2}}\\\\F_{1}=5.47\times 10^{-6}N

Force of attraction between 435 kg mass and 38 kg mass is

F_{2}=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{435\times 38}{(0.25)^{2}}\\\\F_{2}=1.76\times 10^{-5}N

Thus the net force on mass 38.0 kg is F_{2}-F_{1}=1.76\times 10^{-5}-5.47\times 10^{-6}\\\\F_{2}-F_{1}=1.27\times 10^{-5}

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 21.0 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The blocks must be pushed with a force higher than 359 Newtons horizontally in order to accomplish this friction levitation feat.

Explanation:

The first step in resolving any physics problem is to draw the given scenario (if possible), see the attached image to have an idea of the objects and forces involved.

The large cube in red is being pushed from the left by a force \vec{P} whose value is to be found. That cube has its own weight \vec{w}_1=m_1\vec{g}, and it is associated with the force of gravity which points downward. Newton's third law stipulates that the response from the floor is an upward pointing force on the cube, and it's called the normal force \vec{N}_1.

A second cube is being pushed by the first, and since the force \vec{P} is strong enough it is able to keep such block suspended as if it were glued to the first one, due to friction. As in the larger cube, the smaller one has a weight \vec{w}_2=m_2\vec{g} pointing downwards, but the normal force in this block doesn't point upwards since its 'floor' isn't below it, but in its side, therefore the normal force directs it to the right as it is shown in the picture. Normal forces are perpendicular to the surface they contact. The final force is the friction between both cubes, that sets a resistance of one moving parallel the other. In this case, the weight of the block its the force pointing parallel to the contact surface, so the friction opposes that force, and thus points upwards. Friction forces can be set as Fr=\mu~N, where \mu is the coefficient of static friction between the cubes.

Now that all forces involved are identified, the following step is to apply Newton's second law and add all the forces for each block that point in the same line, and set it as equal its mass multiplied by its acceleration. The condition over the smaller box is the relevant one so its the first one to be analyzed.

In the vertical component: \Sigma F^2_y=Fr-w_2=m_2 a_y Since the idea is that it doesn't slips downwards, the vertical acceleration should be set to zero a_y=0, and making explicit the other forces: \mu N_2-m_2g=0\quad\Rightarrow (0.710)N_2-(4.5)(10)=0\quad\Rightarrow N_2=(4.5)(10)/(0.710)\approx 63.38 [N]. In the last equation gravity's acceleration was rounded to 10 [m/s^2].

In its horizontal component: \Sigma F^2_x=N_2=m_2 a_x, this time the horizontal acceleration is not zero, because it is constantly being pushed. However, the value of the normal force and the mass of the block are known, so its horizontal acceleration can be determined: 63.38=(4.5) a_x \quad \Rightarrow a_x=(63.38)/(4.5)\approx 14.08 [m/s^2]. Notice that this acceleration is higher than the one of gravity, and it is understandable since you should be able to push it harder than gravity in order for it to not slip.

Now the attention is switched to the larger cube. The vertical forces are not relevant here, since the normal force balances its weight so that there isn't vertical acceleration. The unknown force comes up in the horizontal forces analysis: \Sigma F_x=P=m a_x, since the force \vec{P} is not only pushing the first block but both, the mass involved in this equation is the combined masses of the blocks, the acceleration is the same for both blocks since they move together; P=(21.0+4.5) 14.08\approx 359.04 [N]. The resulting force is quite high but not impossible to make by a human being, this indicates that this feat of friction suspension is difficult but feasable.

Well, it goes 60 miles in one hour......so set up a ratio.....
60 miles/5 miles = 1 hr/x.....you'll get 60x = 5....then 5/60 would be 0.083
