A plank of length L and mass M hangs from an axle passing through one end. The other end is allowed to hang down so that it just

brushes a workbench. You place a box of height h and mass m so that it just touches the plank when sitting on the bench. You then raise the plank up, turning around the axle, so that its movable end is a height H above the bench. You let the plank go, it pivots around the axle, and hits the ball elastically. How fast does the box move after the collision if it slides without friction?

Answer:

v = ((M(√2gH)/3m)

Explanation:

Initial Moment of Inertia= Moment of Inertia of Rod

I = (ML²)/3

Linear Velocity of moveable end of the rod, just before collision is given by = v = (√2gH)/L

Initial Angular Momentum, about the point of the suspension:

Li= Iw = {(ML²)/3} . {(√2gH)/L} = {ML(√2gH)}/3

Final Angular Momentum = Li = mvl, where 'v' is the speed of the mass 'm' after the collision

Since the collision is elastic, all momentum will be conserved, which means

Initial Angular Momemtum = Final Angular Momentum

{ML(√2gH)}/3 = mvL

solving for v = {(M)/3m} . {(√2gH)/L}

A circuit is built based on the circuit diagram shown. What is the current in the 50 Ω resistor
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1.2 A

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, The three resistors are parallel because the each ends of the resistors are connected together. Since they are in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is the same. The voltage source connected in parallel to the resistors is 60 V. Therefore the voltage across the 50 Ω resistor is 60 V. Using ohm law:

Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 60 V/ 50 Ω

I = 1.2 A

The current in the 50 Ω resistor is 1.2 A

Vladimir [108]
<span>The proper </span><span>battery cable connection when jumping two automotive batteries is :  </span><span>(a) negative to negative / positive to positive. 

</span><span>Connect the red (positive) cable from the car with the bad battery to the red (positive) on the good battery. </span>

<span>Then connect the black (negative) from the good battery to a grounding point on the other car which should be tightened and metal should be clean.
</span>
<span>Once the car with bad battery has started, the removal of the cable should be in the opposite order. The Red (positive) which was the the First Cable to go on should be the last cable to be taken off.</span>
