Answer:

the speed of the center of mass of the two-particle system is 3.4 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of particle 1, m = 2 kg

Velocity of the particle 1, v = 4 m/s in +x direction

Mass of particle 2, m' = 3 kg

Velocity of the particle 2, v' = 5 m/s in +y direction.

The x -coordinate of velocity of the centre of mass is given by :

v_x=\dfrac{mv+m'v'}{m+m'}\\\\v_x=\dfrac{2\times 4+3\times 0}{2+3}\\\\v_x=1.6\ m/s

The y -coordinate of velocity of the centre of mass is given by :

v_y=\dfrac{mv+m'v'}{m+m'}\\\\v_y=\dfrac{2\times 0+3\times 5}{2+3}\\\\v_y=3\ m/s

So, the the speed of the center of mass of the two-particle system given by :

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2} \\\\v=\sqrt{1.6^2+3^2} \\\\v=3.4\ m/s

So, the speed of the center of mass of the two-particle system is 3.4 m/s.

A girl with a mass of 27 kg is playing on a swing. There are three main forces
N76 [4]

The tension in the swing's chain at the bottom of the swing is 178.35 N.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the girl, m = 27 kg
  • Speed of the girl, v = 3 m/s
  • Radius of the circle, r = 4 m

The tension in the swing's chain at the bottom of the swing is calculated as follows;

T = mg + ma_c\\\\ T= mg + \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\T = (12 \times 9.8) + (\frac{27 \times 3^2}{4} )\\\\T = 117.6 \ N \ + \ 60.75 \ N\\\\T = 178.35 \ N

Thus, the tension in the swing's chain at the bottom of the swing is 178.35 N.

A drone is launched with a velocity of 63 m/s, 29 . Three minutes after the drone is launched it suddenly changed its course to
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

   v = 127.66 m / s      θ’= 337.59

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the speed composition of the drone.

The first speed is 63 m / s in direction 29, three minutes later the speed reaches 22 m / s and direction 233, finally it returns to the launch point with 98 m / s in direction 321, in the attachment you can see a diagram of these speeds.

To find the resulting average velocity, the easiest thing is to decompose each velocity into the x and y coordinate system, then add each velocity

let's break down the speeds

             cos 29 = v₁ₓ / v₁

              sin 29 = v_{1y} / v₁

             v₁ₓ = v₁ cos 29

             v_{1y} = v₁ sin 29

             v₁ₓ = 63 cos 29 = 55.10 m / s

             v_{1y} = 63 sin 29 = 30.54 m / s

speed 2

              cos 22 = v₂ₓ / v₂

              sin 22 = v_{2y} / v₂

               v₂ₓ = v₂ cos 233

               v_{2y} = v₂ sin 233

               v₂ₓ = 22 cos 233 = -13.24 m / s

                v_{2y} = 22 sin 233 = -17.57 m / s

speed 3

              cos 321 = v₃ₓ / v₃

              sin 321 = v_{3y} / v₃

               v₃ₓ = v₃ cos 321

               v_{1y} = vₐ sin 321

               v₃ₓ = 98 cos 321 = 76.16 m / s

               v_{3y} = 98 sin 321 = -61.67 m / s

We already have all the component of the speeds, the resulting speed is

               vₓ = v₁ₓ + v₂ₓ + v₃ₓ

               vₓ = 55.10 -13.24 +76.16

               vₓ = 118.02 m / s

               v_{y} = v_{1y} + v_{2y} + v_{3y}

                v_{y} = 30.54 -17.54 - 61.67

                v_{y} = -48.67 m / s

there are two ways to give the result

               v = (118.02 i -48.67 j) m / s

or in the form of magnitud and angle.

We use the Pythagorean theorem for the module

             v = √ (vₓ² + v_{y}²)

             v = RA (118.02² + 48.67²)

             v = 127.66 m / s

let's use trigonometry for the angle

             tan θ = v_{y} / vₓ

             θ = tan⁻¹ (v_{1} / vₓ)

             θ = tan⁻¹ (-48.67 / 118.02)

             θ = -22.41

if we want to measure the angles with respect to the positive side of the x axis

               θ’= 360 - 22.41

               θ’= 337.59

A paint can is sitting on a ladder 20 m high. It has a mass of 7 kg. What is the
loris [4]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1400 J</h3>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 20 × 10 × 7

We have the final answer as

<h3>1400 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
