Answer:

The mass of the child + skateboard is 50 kg

Explanation:

In this problem, we can apply Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on a system

m is the mass of the system

a is the acceleration of the system

In this problem, our system is the child + the skateboard. The net force on them is

F = 75 N

and their acceleration is

$a=1.5 m/s^2$

So we can re-arrange the equation above to find their combined mass:

$m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{75}{1.5}=50 kg$

Two particles are located on the x axis. particle 1 has a mass m and is at the origin. particle 2 has a mass 2m and is at x = +l

wlad13 [49]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

The force on m is:

GMm / x^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 1

The force on 2m is:

GM(2m) / (L - x)^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 2

From (1), you’ll get M = 2mx^2 / L^2 and from (2) you get M = m(L - x)^2 / L^2

Since the Ms are the same, then

2mx^2 / L^2 = m(L - x)^2 / L^2

2x^2 = (L - x)^2

xsqrt2 = L - x

x(1 + sqrt2) = L

x = L / (sqrt2 + 1) From here, we rationalize.

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (sqrt2 + 1)(sqrt2 - 1)

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (2 - 1)

x = L(sqrt2 - 1)

= 0.414L

Therefore, the third particle should be located the 0.414L x axis so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and particle 2 doubles.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi

slega [8]

We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
$dI =r^2*dm$
where $dm =M(b*dr)/(ab)$
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from $-a/2$ to $a/2$
The moment of inertia is
$I= \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} {r^2*dm} = M \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} r^2(b*dr)/(ab)=(M/a)(r^3/3)$ (from (-a/2) to $I=(M/3a)(a^3/8 +a^3/8)=(Ma^2)/12$ (a/2))

Difference between inverted and upright microscope

ser-zykov [4K]

An Inverted Microscope gives you more freedom than an upright microscope. Inverted microscopes are very useful to examine the surface of heavy and large sized Items for industrial purposes. Whereas upright microscopes have very limited distance between the table and the objective.
