A cat walks along a plank with mass M= 7.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of the plank is a di

stance d1= 0.850 m to the left of sawhorse B. When the cat is a distance d2= 1.11 m to the right of sawhorse B, the plank just begins to tip.If the cat has a mass of 3.6 kg, how far to the right of sawhorse B can it walk before the plank begins to tip?

Answer:

Before the plank will tip cat will walk 1.652 m

Explanation:

Mass of the cat along with plank $m_1=7kg$

Center of mass of the plank $d_1=0.850m$

Mass of cat $m_2=3.6kg$

We have to find how far right of sawhorse B.

Plank will tip when weight of the cat about B is greater than the torque by the weight of the plank.

Balancing the the torque

$m_1gd_1=m_1gd_2$

$7\times 9.8\times 0.850=3.6\times 9.8\times d_2$

$d_2=1.652m$

A rock is thrown upward from the level ground in such a way that the maximum height of its flight is equal to its horizontal ran

marshall27 [118]

Answer

a) For the rock

$\dfrac{v_t^2sin 2\theta}{g} = \dfrac{v_t^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$2sin\thetacos\theta = \dfrac{sin^2\theta}{2}$

$2cos\theta = \dfrac{sin\theta}{2}$

$tan\theta = 4$

$\theta = tan^{-1} 4$

$\theta = 76^0$

b) $\theta = 45^0$ for maximum range

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{(v_tcos 45^0)(2v_tsin 45^0)g}{(v_tcos 76^0)(2v_tsin 76^0)g}$

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{0.707\times 0.707)}{0.97\times 0.242}$

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=2.129$

$d_{max}=2.129 d$

c) The value of θ is the same on every planet as g divides out.

A satellite of mass 1000kg is in a circular orbit around a planet. The centripetal acceleration of the satellite in its orbit is

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 5000N

Explanation:

The basic principle of a circular orbit is that Fg = m × ac, so as we have the mass and the centripetal acceleration (also called normal acceleration) we just have to operate. Fg = 1000kg × 5m/s² = 5000N

a 2100-kg car drives with a speed of 18 m/s onb a flat road around a curve that has a radius of curvature of 83m. The coefficien

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<u>The magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

Explanation:

Using the definition of the centripetal force we have:

$\Sigma F=ma_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

Where:

m is the mass of the car
v is the speed
R is the radius of the curvature

Now, the force acting in the motion is just the friction force, so we have:

$F_{f}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

$F_{f}=2100\frac{18^{2}}{83}$

$F_{f}=8197.60 \: N$

<u>Therefore the magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

I hope it helps you!
