At time t = 0 s, an object is observed at x = 0 m; and its position along the x-axis follows this expression: x = –4t + t2, wher

e the units for distance and time are meters and seconds, respectively. What is the object's displacement between t = 1.0 s and t = 3.0 s?

Answer:

The object displacement is 0 meters.

Explanation:

Because the expression for the object position as function of time is:

$x(t)= -4t + t^2$

At t= 3.0=t2 seconds the x-position of the object is:

$x(3.0)= -4(3.0) + (3.0)^2$

$x(3.0s)=-3 m$

and at t=1.0=t1 seconds the x-position of the objects is:

$x(1.0)= -4(1.0) + (1.0)^2$

$x(1.0s)=-3m$

The total displacement ( $\Delta x$ ) of the object between t2 and t1 is the difference between x(3.0s) and x(1.0s):

$\Delta x= x(3.0)-x(1.0)=-3.0-(-3.0)$

$\Delta x=0m$

The displacement of the object is zero!!!

inn [45]

We have that the momentum p is given by the formula p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity. Since for A p=-14kgm/s and m=7, we have that the velocity is -14/7=-2m/s. Hence its speed is 2 m/s.
For b we have that p=15kgm/s and v=3m/s. Because m=p/v, we have m=3kg.
We also have that the momentum is conserved in this system. Hence, the net sum of the momentum of the 2 snowballs equals the momentum of the single giant ball. Hence, p(total)=p(combined)=-14+15=1kgm/s (momentum is a vector; the positive sign means that it tends to the positive direction).

a cylindrical jar is 10cm long and has a cross sectional area of 36cm. if it is completely filled with a fluid of relative densi

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The mass of the fluid is 72 g.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 cm

Area of cross section (A) = 36cm²

Relative density = 0.2

Mass =..?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the cylinder. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Volume = Area x Height

Volume = 36 x 10

Volume = 360 cm³

Next, we shall determine the density of the liquid.

This can be obtained as follow:

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

Relative density = 0.2

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid =...?

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

0.2 = density of fluid / 1 g/cm³

Cross multiply

Density of fluid = 0.2 x 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Finally, we shall determine the mass of fluid as follow:

Volume = 360 cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Mass of fluid =...?

Density = mass /volume.

0.2 g/cm³ = mass of fluid /360 cm³

Cross multiply

Mass of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³ x 360 cm³

Mass of fluid = 72 g

Therefore, the mass of the fluid in the jar is 72 g.

Answer:

The x-component of $F_{3}$ is 56.148 newtons.

Explanation:

From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:

$\vec F_{1} + \vec F_{2} + \vec F_{3} = \vec O$ (1)

Where:

$\vec F_{1}$ , $\vec F_{2}$ , $\vec F_{3}$ - External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.

$\vec O$ - Vector zero, measured in newtons.

If we know that $\vec F_{1} = (70.711,70.711)\,[N]$ , $\vec F_{2} = (-126.859, 46.173)\,[N]$ , $F_{3} = (F_{3,x},F_{3,y})$ and $\vec O = (0,0)\,[N]$ , then we construct the following system of linear equations:

$\Sigma F_{x} = 70.711\,N - 126.859\,N +F_{3,x} = 0\,N$ (2)

$\Sigma F_{y} = 70.711\,N + 46.173\,N+F_{3,y} = 0\,N$ (3)

The solution of this system is:

$F_{3,x} = 56.148\,N$ , $F_{3,y} = -116.884\,N$

The x-component of $F_{3}$ is 56.148 newtons.

A 52 N sled is pulled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed. A horizontal force of 36 N is exerted. What is the coefficient

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.
