To be able to successfully pull the rope with balance, the work done by person A should be just equal to the work done by person B.

<span>workA = workB  ----> 1</span>

Where: work = force * distance

In this case, force = mass * gravity

So work = mass * gravity * distance

Rewriting equation 1:

<span>massA * gravity * distanceA = massB * gravity * distanceB  ---->2</span>

We know that distanceA + distanceB = 5 m, therefore distanceA = 5 – distanceB. Substituting this to equation 2 and cancelling constant g:

massA * distanceA = massB * distanceB

60 kg * (5 – distanceB) = 40 kg * distanceB

distanceB = 3 m

distanceA = 5 – distanceB = 2 m

 

<span>ratio is: distanceA / distanceB = 2/3 = 0.67</span>

A thin walled spherical shell is rolling on a surface. What
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of given shell= \frac{2}{3} MR^2

where

M represent sphere mass

R -sphere radius

we know linear speed is given as v = r\omega

translational K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2

rotational K.E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2

total kinetic energy will be

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2

K.E =\frac{5}{6} MR^2 \omega^2

fraction of rotaional to total K.E

=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4

Answer:

<h2>C. maintenance </h2>

Explanation:

I personally believe one key disadvantages is the cost of maintaining the equipment unlike the gym where you have to subscribe for the month or the year and forget about anything, owning the gym equipment comes with the extra cost and responsibilities of maintenance to the owners.

A golf ball is struck with a five iron on level ground. it lands 100.0 m away 4.60 s later. what was the magnitude and direction
finlep [7]

consider the motion in x-direction

v_{ox} = initial velocity in x-direction = ?

X = horizontal distance traveled = 100 m

a_{x} = acceleration along x-direction = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.60 sec

Using the equation

X = v_{ox} t + (0.5) a_{x} t²

100 =  v_{ox} (4.60)

v_{ox} = 21.7 m/s


consider the motion along y-direction

v_{oy} = initial velocity in y-direction = ?

Y = vertical displacement  = 0 m

a_{y} = acceleration along x-direction = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.60 sec

Using the equation

Y = v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t²

0 = v_{oy} (4.60) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.60)²

v_{oy} = 22.54 m/s

initial velocity is given as

v_{o} = sqrt((v_{ox})² + (v_{oy})²)

v_{o} = sqrt((21.7)² + (22.54)²) = 31.3 m/s

direction: θ = tan⁻¹(22.54/21.7) = 46.12 deg
