The distance an object falls, from rest, in gravity is
D = (1/2) (G) (T²)
'T' is the number seconds it falls.
In this problem,
0.92 meter = (1/2) (9.8) (T²)
Divide each side by 4.9 : 0.92 / 4.9 = T²
Take the square root
of each side: √(0.92/4.9) = T
0.433 sec = T
The horizontal speed doesn't make a bit of difference in
how long it takes to reach the floor. BUT ... if you want to
know how far from the table the pencil lands, you can find
that with the horizontal speed.
The pencil is in the air for 0.433 second.
In that time, it travels
(0.433s) x (1.4 m/s) = 0.606 meter
from the edge of the table.
Answer:
False because it has no mass.
Explanation:
Answer: a) 7.1 * 10^3 N; b) -880 N directed out of the curve.
Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Newton laws, then we have the following:
Pcos 15°-N=0
Psin15°-f= m*ac
from the first we obtain N, the normal force
N=750Kg*9.8* cos (15°)= 7.1 *10^3 N
Then to calculate the frictional force (f) we can use the second equation
f=P sin (15°) -m*ac where ac is the centripetal acceletarion which is equal to v^2/r
f= 750 *9.8 sin(15°)-750*(85*1000/3600)^2/150= -880 N
A=F/m
a=(3000000)/(20000)
a=15 m/s^2
