Two particles are moving along the x axis. Particle 1 has a mass m₁ and a velocity v₁ = +4.7 m/s. Particle 2 has a mass m₂ and a

velocity v₂ = −6.2 m/s. The velocity of the center of mass of these two particles is zero. In other words, the center of mass of the particles remains stationary, even though each particle is moving. Find the ratio m₁/m₂ of the masses of the particles.

Answer:

m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Explanation:

We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles

The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero

    p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

    pf = 0

    m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

    m₁ / m₂=  - (-6.2) / 4.7

     m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship

    Xcm = 1/M    (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

We derive from time

   Vcm = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses

    0 = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

   m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

   m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

What is the net force experienced by the rope? Include both the magnitude and direction
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

All the physical world objects that comers in the contact to exert the force to each other. The contact forces are different from their names and what type of force they exert.

Explanation:

The cables and the ropes are the useful objects that exert the forces that can efficiently transfer the force from a significant distance.

It is noted that tension is a type of force that the rope can not simply push it away effectively. When push happened with rope, the rope goes to slack and lose all the tension that pulls at the first place. Tension only pull objects.

A cow wanders 30 m North, turns 22 degrees right of its original path, and wanders another 40 m. Find its total displacement.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:OB=58.3m

Explanation:

So here cow wanders 30m in north and turns 22 degrees in right side and moves 40m more, as shown in figure given.

now take the starting point as a origin such that cow moves in x-y co-ordinate axis.

As shown in figure length OA is the length when cow moves in north or y direction. Later she takes 22 degrees turn to right and moves 40m more.

So the final displacement is the length of cow from the origin that is length OB.

now co-ordinates of B are [40cos22°,40sin22°+30] i.e [37.084,44.984]

now displacement of cow= length of OB

                                           = \sqrt{[37.084]^{2}+[44.984]^{2}  }

                                           =\sqrt{3398.78}

                                     OB =58.3

Three long, straight wires are carrying currents that have the same magnitude. In C the current is opposite to that in A and B.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

(b) B

Explanation:

The direction of force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field can be found using the right hand rule, which states that-"stretch the thumb in the direction of the current, and point the fingers in the direction of magnetic field. The direction of palm will then give the direction of force on the wire

On wire B the forces due to A and C act in the same direction and so strengthen each other. they get added up because the forces act in the same direction.

on wires A and C the forces (due to B and C and A and B

respectively) act in opposite directions and therefore tend to cancel out.
