At the local playground, a 21-kg child sits on the right end of a horizontal teeter-totter, 1.8 m from the pivot point. On the l

eft side of the pivot an adult pushes straight down on the teeter-totter with a force of 151 N. Part A In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 3.0 m from the pivot?Part B
In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 2.5 m from the pivot?
(clockwise/counterclockwise)
Part C
In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 2.0 m from the pivot?
(clockwise/counterclockwise)

Answer:

By convention a negative torque leads to clockwise rotation and a positive torque leads to counterclockwise rotation.

here weight of the child =21kgx9.8m/s2 = 205.8N

the torque exerted by the child Tc = - (1.8)(205.8) = -370.44N-m ,negative sign is inserted because this torque is clockwise and is therefore negative by convention.

torque exerted by adult Ta = 3(151) = 453N , counterclockwise torque.

net torque Tnet = -370.44+453 =82.56N , which is positive means counterclockwise rotation.

b) Ta = 2.5x151 = 377.5N-m

Tnet = -370.44+377.5 = 7.06N-m , positive ,counterclockwise rotation.

c)Ta = 2x151 = 302N-m

Tnet = -370.44+302 = -68.44N-m, negative,clockwise rotation.

At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 ✕ 10−4 T, pointing 75° below the horizontal in a north-south plane. A
saveliy_v [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Magnetic field,B=0.6\times 10^{-4} T

\theta=75^{\circ}

Length of wire,l=15 m

Current,I=19 A

a.We have to find the magnitude of magnetic force and direction of magnetic force.

Magnetic force,F=IBlsin\theta

Using the formula

F=0.6\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 19sin75

F=16.5\times 10^{-3} N

Direction=tan\theta=cot(90-75)=tan15^{\circ}

\theta=15^{\circ}

15 degree above the horizontal  in the northward direction.

ou are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soo
madam [21]

Till the time car is just adjacent to the bicycle we can say

distance moved by cycle = distance moved by car

Time taken by car to accelerate from rest

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{49 - 0}{7} = 7 s

Time taken by cycle to accelerate

t = \frac{23 - 0}{15} = 1.53 s

now the distance moved by cycle in time "t"

d = \frac{23 + 0}{2}*1.53 + 23(t - 1.53)

distance moved by car in same time

d = \frac{7t + 0}{2}(t)

now make them equal

3.5t^2 = 17.595 - 35.19 + 23t

3.5 t^2 - 23t + 17.595 = 0

t = 5.68 s

so cycle will move ahead of car for t = 5.68 s

A horizontal force of 200 N is applied to move a 55 kg television set across a 10 m level surface. What is the work done by the
vivado [14]

Answer:

The work done is "2000 J".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force,

F = 200 N

Mass,

m = 55 kg

Displacement,

d = 10 m

Now,

The work done will be:

⇒  Work \ done= Force\times displacement

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒                     =200\times 10

⇒                     =2000 \ J
