Answer:

The weight that will balance the meter stick at 70 cm mark is 35N

Explanation:

Given;

first weight at 15 cm mark, W₁ = 20 N

second weight at 70 cm mark, W₂ = ?

A sketch of the question in diagram form;

The center of gravity of the meter stick is 50 cm

                     15cm               50cm         70cm

0---------------------------------------Δ------------------------------------------100cm

                     ↓                                           ↓

                     20N                                      W₂

                     <------------------>|<--------------->

                                35cm               20cm

Take moment about the pivot;

Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment

W₂(20cm) = 20N(35 cm)

W₂ = (20 x 35) / (20)

W₂ = 35 N

Therefore, the weight that will balance the meter stick at 70 cm mark is 35N

A ball moving with an initial velocity of 5 m/s comes to rest after 2s. What was the ball's acceleration?
Inga [223]

Answer:

-2.5m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by

a = Δv / t        ----------------(i)

Where;

a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity   (measure in m/s)

t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))

From the question;

i. initial velocity = 5m/s

final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]

Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s

ii. time taken = t = 2s

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

a = (-5m/s) / (2s)

a = -2.5m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²

NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.

You're carrying a 3.0-m-long, 24 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pol
kozerog [31]

Answer:

F=133N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length l=3.0m

Mass m=24kg

Distance from Tip d=35cm

Generally, the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

mg(l/2)=F(l-d)

2*9.81(3/2)=F(3-35*10^-2)

Therefore

F=133N

A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 16.0 m/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/s passes the police
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

It will take 15.55s for the police car to pass the SUV

Explanation:

We first have to establish that both the police car and the SUV will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. The police car is moving at constant velocity and the SUV is experiencing a deceleration. Thus we will use two distance fromulas (for constant and accelerated motions) with the same variable for t and x:

1. x=x_{0}+vt

2. x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2}

Since both cars will travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

vt = v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}\\\\   16\frac{m}{s}t =30\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{1.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}

We simplify the fraction present and rearrange for our formula so that it equals 0:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}-14\frac{m}{s}t=0 \\\\ t(0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s})=0

In the very last step we factored a common factor t. There is two possible solutions to the equation at t=0 and:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s}=0 \\\\  0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t =14\frac{m}{s} \\\\ t =\frac{14\frac{m}{s}}{0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=15.56s

What this means is that during the displacement of the police car and SUV, there will be two moments in time where they will be next to each other; at t=0 s (when the SUV passed the police car) and t=15.56s(when the police car catches up to the SUV)

21. A 1000-kg automobile moving with a speed of 24 m/s relative to the road collides with a 500-kg automobile initially at rest.
Luda [366]

A truck is moving with less velocity in the direction in which the truck is moving earlier because the truck has more momentum.

<h3 /><h3>In which direction the truck moves?</h3>

A truck is moving with the velocity of 10 m/s in the same direction in which the truck is moving earlier because the truck has more mass so it has more momentum. Due to collision, the velocity of the truck is slow down but can't be stopped because of high momentum in the truck.

So we can conclude that a truck is moving with less velocity in the direction in which the truck is moving earlier because the truck has more momentum.
