Answer: 1.6m/s

Explanation:

M1 = 13500kg

U1 = 4.5m/s

M2 = 25000kg

U2 = 0m/s (since the body is at rest)

V = ? (Common velocity or velocity after impact)

M1U1 + M2U2 = (M1 + M2)V

But U2 = 0

M1U1 = (M1 + M2)V

13500 * 4.5 = (13500 + 25000)v

60750 = 38500v

V = 60750 / 38500 = 1.5779 = 1.6m/s

A bucket of mass m is hanging from the free end of a rope whose other end is wrapped around a drum (radius R, mass M) that can r
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension .

Applying newton's second law on the downward movement of the bucket

mg - T = ma

On the drum , a torque of TR will be acting which will create an angular acceleration of α in it . If I be the moment of inertia of the drum

TR = Iα

TR = Ia/ R

T =  Ia/ R²

Replacing this value of T in the other equation

mg - T = ma

mg - Ia/ R²  = ma

mg =  Ia/ R² +ma

a ( I/ R² +m)= mg

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

mg - T = ma

mg - ma  = T

mg - m x mg / ( I/ R² +m) = T

mg - m²g / ( I/ R² +m ) = T

mg - mg / ( 1 + I / m R² ) = T

b ) T =  Ia/ R²

I = TR² / a

c ) Moment of inertia of hollow cylinder

I = 1/2  M ( R² - R² / 4 )

= 3/4 x 1/2 MR²

= 3/8 MR²

I / R² = 3/8 M

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

a = mg / ( 3/8 M + m )

T =  Ia/ R²

= 3/8 MR² x mg / ( 3/8 M + m ) x 1 /R²

= \frac{3mMg}{(3M +8m)}

A closely wound circular coil has a radius of 6.00 cmand carries a current of 2.65 A. How many turns must it have if the magneti
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Given:

radius of the coil, R = 6 cm = 0.06 m

current in the coil, I = 2.65 A

Magnetic field at the center, B = 6.31\times 10^{4} T

Solution:

To find the number of turns, N, we use the given formula:

B = \frac{\mu_{o}NI}{2R}

Therefore,

N = \frac{2BR}{\mu_{o}I}

N = \frac{2\times 6.31\times 10^{4}\times 0.06}{4\pi \times 10^{- 7}\times 2.65}

N = 22.74 = 23 turns (approx)

How is pressure measured? question 1 options: pressure is measured as force per inch. pressure is measured as force per gram. pr
natita [175]

Pressure is measured as force per unit area, which is the third option.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure is amount of force that is applied over a given area divided by the size of this area.

Pressure is calculated by multiplying the force applied on the object by the area covered.

Since force is measured in Newtons (N) and area is measured in m², the unit of pressure is Nm².

Therefore, pressure is measured as force per unit area.

When visiting some countries, you may see a person balancing a load on the head. Explain why the center of mass of the load need
Vinvika [58]

Explanation:

If the center of the load is directly above the vertebrae, there is no torque in the system. This is a good thing so that the vertebrae are not put out of alignment over time. (Of course, this still doesn't prevent compression of the vertebrae over time, which is a possibility.)
