, how far from the left end of the barbell is the center of gravity? (b) Where is the center of gravity if the 8.0 kg mass of the barbell is taken into account?

Answer:

(a) 1.08 m

(b) 1.06 m

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> calculate the center of gravity from 20kg mass

Let the center of gravity from 20kg mass = X

Applying the principle of moment; clockwise moment = ant-clockwise moment

20*X = 35*(1.7-X)

20X = 59.5 - 35X

55X = 59.5

X = 59.5/55

X = 1.08 m

Ignoring the weight of the bar, the center of gravity is 1.08m from left end of the barbell.

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the center of gravity from 20kg mass, if the 8.0kg mass of the barbell in considered.

Applying the principle of moment

(20*X)+\frac{X}{2}(\frac{8}{1.7}) = 35(1.7-X) + (\frac{1.7-X}{2})(\frac{8}{1.7})

20X + 2.353X = 59.5 -35X +2.353(1.7-X)

20X +2.353X = 59.5 -35X + 4 - 2.353X

59.706X = 63.5

X = 63.5/59.706

X = 1.06 m

considering the weight of the bar, the center of gravity is 1.06m from left end of the barbell.

I need to know the right answer to that question
ad-work [718]
The answer is C 8.87*10^4 m/s (it shouldn't be m/s^2 though as velocity is in m/s)

Since you know the acceleration is 12 m/s^2, the initial velocity is 2.39*10^4 m/s and the time (you have to convert to seconds) is 5400 seconds, then you can use the equation

v = vo + at

When you plug in the values you get

v = 2.39*10^4 + 5400*12 . so v = 8.87*10^4 m/s. C is your answer.

An electron experiences a magnetic force with a magnitude of 4.90×10−15 n when moving at an angle of 60.0 ∘ with respect to a ma
Leya [2.2K]
Missing questions: "find the speed of the electron".

Solution:
the magnetic force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by
F=qvB \sin \theta
where
q is the particle charge
v its velocity
B the magnitude of the magnetic field
\theta the angle between the directions of v and B.

Re-arranging the formula, we find:
v= \frac{F}{qB \sin \theta}
and by substituting the data of the problem (the charge of the electron is q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C), we find the velocity of the electron:
v= \frac{F}{qB \sin \theta}= \frac{4.90 \cdot 10^{-15}N}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.70 \cdot 10^{-3} T)(\sin 60^{\circ})}=9.56 \cdot 10^6 m/s

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?
stepan [7]
The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.410 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?
aivan3 [116]

Initial velocity = \(v_0\)

acceleration in the downward direction = -9.8 \(\frac {m}{s^2}\)

Final velocity at the highest point = 0

Maximum height reached = 0.410 m

Now, Using third equation of motion:

\(v^2 = {v_0}^{2} + 2aH

\(0^2 = {v_0}^{2} - 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410

\({v_0}^{2} = 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410\)

\(v_0 = 2.834 \frac {m}{s}\)

Speed with which the flea jumps = \(2.834 \frac {m}{s}\)
