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

s to be directly above the person’s neck vertebrae.

Vinvika [58]3 years ago

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.)

In Challenge Example 11.9 (p. 280), after the explosion, suppose that the m1 fragment shot directly north at 12 m/s and the m3 f
Inga [223]

The question is incomplete. The mass of the object is 10 gram and travelling at a speed of 2 m/s.

Solution:

It is given that mass of object before explosion is,m = 10 g

Speed of object before explosion, v = 2 m/s

Let $m_1, m_2 \text{ and}\ m_3$ be the masses of the three fragments.

Let $v_1, v_2 \text{ and}\ v_3$ be the velocities of the three fragments.

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum,

$mv=m_1v_1 +m_2v_2+m_3v_3$

$10 \times 2  \hat i=3 \times 12 \hat{j} + 3(v_{2x} \hat{i}+v_{2y} \hat{j})-4 \times 9 \hat{j}$

So the x- component of the velocity of the m2 fragment after the explosion is,

$3v_{2x} = 20$

∴ $v_{2x} = 6.67 \ m/s$
