A lumberjack (mass = 103 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 277 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberja

ck runs to the other end of the log, attaining a velocity of +3.74 m/s relative to the shore, and then hops onto an identical floating log that is initially at rest. Neglect any friction and resistance between the logs and the water. (a) What is the velocity of the first log (again relative to the shore) just before the lumberjack jumps off? (b) Determine the velocity of the second log (again relative to the shore) if the lumberjack comes to rest relative to the second log.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of lumber jack m_L=1000 kg

mass of floating log m_f=277 kg

velocity of lumber jack =3.74 m/s (w.r.t. shore)

conserving momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

0=m_L\times 3.74+m_f\times v

v=-\frac{1000\times 3.74}{277}

v=-13.501 m/s

(b)For second Log

Conserving Momentum

Initial momentum of log and Lumber jack=Final momentum of log and lumberjack

m_L\times 3.74=(m_L+m_f)u

u is final velocity of lumberjack and log

u=\frac{m_L}{m_L+m_f}\times 3.74

u=\frac{1000}{1000+277}=2.92 m/s

The drawing shows a bicycle wheel resting against a small step whose height is h = 0.110 m. The weight and radius of the wheel a
Pavel [41]

Answer:

F=27.39N

Explanation:

Take sum of torques at the point the step touches the wheel, that eliminates two torques

ΣT=T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}

Since we are looking for when the wheel just starts to rise up N-> 0 so no torque due to normal force

T_{N}=0

The perpendicular lever arm for the F force is R-h

T_{f}=F*(r-h)

And the T of gravity according to the image

T_{W}=W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}

ΣT=0

T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}=0

F*(r-h)+W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}=0

F=\frac{W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}}{r-h}

F=\frac{24.9 N*(\sqrt{0.336^2-(0.336-0.110)^2}}{(0.336-0.11)}

F=27.39N

What is the relationship between amplitude and volume?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sound moves in the form of waves. The amplitude is the distance between the highest and the lowest point of a wave.  In this way the amplitude indicates the amount of energy that a sound signal contains.

Intensity is the amount of acoustic energy that a sound contains. Intensity is measured in decibels. Volume is a measure of the energy that a signal carries, being a magnitude of intensity.

In this way it is possible to say that the energy of a signal is closely related to its amplitude, but its development over time is also important.

The tone or height is the quality that distinguishes between a high or low sound and a low or high sound.

How would the period of pendulum differ from an equivalent one on earth?<br>​
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

If you know that that free fall acceleration g on the Moon is about 6 times less than on the Earth, it gives you the answer: on the Moon the same pendulum will have a period about √6≈2.45 longer than on the Earth.

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k
rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.
