Three particles lie in the xy plane. Particle 1 has mass m1 = 6.7 kg and lies on the x-axis at x1 = 4.2 m, y1 = 0. Particle 2 ha
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

F=18.58\times 10^{-11}\ N

\theta=30.276^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of first particle, m_1=6.7\ kg

mass of second particle, m_2=5.1\ kg

mass of third particle, m_3=3.7\ kg

coordinate position of first particle in meters, (x_1,y_1)\equiv(4.2,0)

coordinate position of second particle in meters, (x_2,y_2)\equiv(0,2.8)

coordinate position of third particle in meters, (x_3,y_3)\equiv(0,0)

<u>Now, gravitational force on particle 3 due to particle 1:</u>

F_{31}=G\frac{m_1.m_3}{r_{31}^2}

F_{31}=6.67\times 10^{-11} \times \frac{6.7\times 3.7}{4.2^2}

F_{31}=9.37\times 10^{-11}\ N

towards positive Y axis.

<u>gravitational force on particle 3 due to particle 2:</u>

F_{32}=G\frac{m_2.m_3}{r_{21}^2}

F_{32}=6.67\times 10^{-11} \times \frac{5.1\times 3.7}{2.8^2}

F_{32}=16.05\times 10^{-11}\ N

towards positive X axis.

<u>Now the net force</u>

F=\sqrt{F_{31}\ ^2+F_{32}\ ^2}

F=\sqrt{(10^{-11})^2(9.37^2+16.05^2)}

F=18.58\times 10^{-11}\ N

<em>For angle in counterclockwise direction from the +x-axis</em>

tan\theta=\frac{9.37\times 10^{-11}}{16.05\times 10^{-11}}

\theta=30.276^{\circ}

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

L_i = L_f

so:

I_mW_m = I_sW_f

where I_m is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, W_m is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, I_s is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and W_f is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where M_m is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2\pi rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2

I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2

I_s = 506.25kg*m^2

Finally we replace all the data:

(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f

Solving for W_f:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

how much gravitational potential energy do you give a 70 kg person when you lift him up 3 m in the air?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Given gravitational potential energy when he's lifted is 2058 J.

Kinetic energy is transferred to the person.

Amount of kinetic energy the person has is -2058 J

velocity of person = 7.67 m/s².

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Weight of person = 70 kg

Lifted height = 3 m

1. Gravitational potential energy of a lifted person is equal to the work done.

PE_g=W=m\times g\times h\\Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\PE_g= m = m\times g\times h= 70\times 9.8 \times 3 = 2058\ kg.m/s^2 = 2058\ J

Gravitational potential energy is equal to 2058 Joules.

2. The Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is being transferred to the person.

3. Kinetic energy gained = Potential energy lost = -PE_g = -2058\ kg.m/s^2

Kinetic energy gained by the person = (-2058 kg.m/s²)

4. Velocity = ?

Kinetic energy magnitude= \frac{1}{2} m\times v^2 = m\times g \times h

Solving for v, we get

v=\sqrt{2gh} =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 3} = \sqrt{58.8} = 7.67 m/s^2

The person will be going at a speed of 7.67 m/s².
