A 120-kg object and a 420-kg object are separated by 3.00 m At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 51.0-

kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects?

Answer:

1.045 m from 120 kg

Explanation:

m1 = 120 kg

m2 = 420 kg

m = 51 kg

d = 3 m

Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.

By use of the gravitational force

Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.

\frac{Gm_{1}m}{y^{2}}=\frac{Gm_{2}m}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{m_{1}}{y^{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{3-y}{y}=\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}

3 - y = 1.87 y

3 = 2.87 y

y = 1.045 m

Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Efficiency = \frac {240}{300} * 100

Efficiency = 0.8 * 100

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore, the mechanical efficiency of the machine is 80 percent.

An object of mass 4kg is moving along a horizontal plane. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2 find the friction force
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The friction force acting on the object is 7.84 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of object, m = 4 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.2

The friction force acting on the object is calculated as;

F = μkN

F = μkmg

where;

F is the frictional force

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

F = 0.2 x 4 x 9.8

F = 7.84 N

Therefore, the friction force acting on the object is 7.84 N
