QUESTION 3 ( MARKS]

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

392 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the rod.  There are four forces acting on the rod:

At the wall, you have horizontal and vertical reaction forces, Rx and Ry.

At the other end of the rod (point X), you have the weight of the sign pointing down, mg.

Also at point X, you have the tension in the wire, T, pulling at an angle θ from the -x axis.

Sum of the moments at the wall:

∑τ = Iα

(T sin θ) L − (mg) L = 0

T sin θ − mg = 0

T = mg / sin θ

Given m = 20 kg and θ = 30.0°:

T = (20 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (sin 30.0°)

T = 392 N

Technically friction is acting on the car because it is still rubbing against the street and gravity is pulling the car down preventing it from floating??? lol

Answer:

41°

Explanation:

Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top

½ mv² = mgh

½ v² = gh

h = v²/(2g)

h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 0.294 m

The pendulum rises to a height of  above the bottom.  To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).

L − h = L cos θ

cos θ = (L − h) / L

cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2

θ = 41.0°

Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.

A 2.5 kg block is launched along the ground by a spring with a spring constant of 56 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 0.7
Norma-Jean [14]

vf ^2 = kx^2/m = 56(0.75)^2 / 2.5 = 12.6


Therefore, v= 3.5 m/s.

a brick is suspended above the ground at a height of 6.6 m. it has a mass of 5.3 kg. what is the potential energy of the brick
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The formula for potential energy is
E(p) = mgh

(Mass x gravity x height)

Therefore energy = (5.3)(9.8)(6.6)
= 342.8 J

How did I get 9.8?
9.8 is the constant for gravity
