The mass of the second car is 1434.21 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using law of conservation of momentum,

$m_{1} u_{1}+m_{2} u_{2}=\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) v$

Given:

$m_{1}$ = 1090 kg

$u_{1}$ = 11 m/s

$u_{2}$ = 0

v = 4.75 m/s

We need to find $m_{2}$

When substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

$(1090 \times 11)+\left(m_{2} \times 0\right)=\left(1090+m_{2}\right) 4.75$

$11990=5177.5+4.75 m_{2}$

$4.75 m_{2}=11990-5177.5$

$4.75 m_{2}=6812.5$

$m_{2}=\frac{6812.5}{4.75}=1434.21 \mathrm{kg}$

8. When a 100 N bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope, how many newtons of tension are exerted in

Svetllana [295]

If the bag is motionless, then it's not accelerating up or down.
That fact right there tells you that the net vertical force on it
is zero. So the sum of any upward forces on it is exactly equal
to the downward gravitational force ... the bag's "weight".

If the bag is suspended from a single rope, then the tension
in the rope must be equal to the 100-N weight of the bag.

And if there are four ropes holding it up, then the sum of
the four tensions is 100N. If the ropes have been carefully
adjusted to share the load equally, then the tension is 25N
in each rope.

) determine the density of a 32.5 g metal sample that displaces 8.39 ml of water.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Density is the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume. On the other hand, according to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object placed on the water. Thus, the density of the metal is equal to 8.39 mL. So, the density would be

Density = 32.5 g/8.39 mL = 3.87 g/mL

The cabinet is mounted on coasters and has a mass of 45 kg. The casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating. The coeff

stira [4]

Answer:

the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the cabinet m = 45 kg

coefficient of static friction μ = 0.30

A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;

The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.

Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :

$\sum f_y =0$

The upward force and the downward force is :

$N_A+N_B = mg$

where;

$\mathbf { N_A \ and \ N_B}$ are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .

$N_A+N_B = 45*9.8$

$N_A+N_B = 441$ ------- equation (1)

Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:

$\sum f_x = 0$

$F_A +F_B = P$

where ;

$\mathbf{ F_A \ and \ F_B }$ are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.

which can be written also as:

$\mu_s N_A + \mu_s N_B = P$

$\mu_s( N_A + N_B) = P$

replacing our value from equation (1)

P = 0.30 ( 441)

P = 132.3 N

Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm

the largest value of "h" allowed for the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at $N_A$ and it is shifted to $N_B$ :
