A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The

beam balances when a fulcrum is placed below the beam a distance 1.10 m from the 30.0-kg child. How long is the beam?

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

Two cars travel in the same direction along a straight highway, one at a constant speed of 55 mi/h and the other at 60 mi/h.How
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the faster car, v₁ = 60 mi/h

speed of the slower car, v₂ = 55 mi/h

Let the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car = x miles

\frac{x}{55} - \frac{x}{60}   = \frac{15}{60}

Note: divide 15 mins by 60 to convert to hours for consistency in the units.

\frac{x}{55} - \frac{x}{60}   = \frac{15}{60}\\\\multiple \ through \ by \ 660\\\\12x - 11x = 165\\\\x = 165 \ miles

Therefore, the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

Skylar travels 50 meters N and then goes 30 meters W before coming straight back south 20 meters. What distance did she travel?
lesya [120]

Answer:

100\ \text{meters}.

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is 50\ \text{meters}

Then she traveled 30\ \text{meters} Westward.

After which she traveled 20\ \text{meters} towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}

The distance traveled by Skylar was is 100\ \text{meters}.

Fellow student of mathematical bent tells you that the wave function of a traveling wave on a thin rope is y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[(
bezimeni [28]

Answer

given,

y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[( 7.02 rad/m )x+( 743 rad/s )t]

length of the rope = 1.33 m

mass of the rope = 3.31 g

comparing the given equation from the general wave equation

y(x,t)= A cos[k x+ω t]

A is amplitude

now on comparing

a) Amplitude  = 2.20 mm

b) frequency =

     f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}

     f = \dfrac{743}{2\pi}

          f = 118.25 Hz

c) wavelength

        k= \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

        \lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{k}

        \lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{7.02}

        \lambda= 0.895\ m

d) speed

         v = \dfrac{\omega}{k}

         v = \dfrac{743}{7.02}

                v = 105.84 m/s

e) direction of the motion will be in negative x-direction

f) tension

  T = \dfrac{v^2\ m}{L}

  T = \dfrac{(105.84)^2\times 3.31 \times 10^{-3}}{1.33}

      T = 27.87 N

g) Power transmitted by the wave

  P = \dfrac{1}{2}m\ v \omega^2\ A^2

  P = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00331\times 105.84\times 743^2\ 0.0022^2

      P = 0.438 W
