How do u work out weight c and d and what r the answers

Physics
1 answer:
Ket [755]3 years ago

The whole secret of things that are balanced on a pivot like this is:

The sum of all of the 'moments' is equal on both sides.

The moment of each weight is  (the weight) times (its distance from the pivot). 
If you add up those for each eight on one side, it has to be equal to the sum
of all the ones on the other side.

<u>2. a).</u> 
The moments on the right side are:  (4 x 0.15) and (1 x 0.40).
They add up to  (0.60 + 0.40) = 1.00

The only moment on the left side is  (C x 0.25).  Both sides have to be equal.

C x 0.25 = 1.00

Divide each side by 0.25, and you have    C = 4 N .

===========================================

<u>2. b).</u>
The only moment on the left side is  (5 x 0.40) = 2.00

The moments on the right side are (1 x 0.20) and (D x 0.30)
They add up to  (0.3D + 0.2).

Both sides have to be equal.    0.3D + 0.2 = 2.0

Subtract 0.2 from each side:      0.3D  =  1.8

Divide each side by 0.3:                D = 6 N

A block of mass 0.221 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5365 N/m and pushed downward so that the
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 0.221 kg

Spring constant k = 5365 N/m

Distance x = 0.097 m

We need to calculate the height

Using stored energy in spring

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2...(I)

Using gravitational potential energy

U' =mgh....(II)

Using energy of conservation

E_{i}=E_{f}

U_{i}+U'_{i}=U_{f}+U'_{f}

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+0=0+mgh

h=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mg}

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass of the block

x = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

h=\dfrac{5365\times(0.097)^2}{2\times0.221\times9.8}

h=11.653\ m

Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

A head-on, elastic collision between two particles with equal initial speed v leaves the more massive particle (mass m1) at rest
ZanzabumX [31]
<span>1/3 The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r" The equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2MV^2. So the energy for the system prior to collision is 0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5 The energy after the collision is 0.5rv^2 Setting the two equations equal to each other 0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2 r + 1 = rv^2 (r + 1)/r = v^2 sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v The momentum prior to collision is -1r + 1 Momentum after collision is rv Setting the equations equal to each other rv = -1r + 1 rv +1r = 1 r(v+1) = 1 Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns. sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v r(v+1) = 1 Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r. r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1 r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2 r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2 r = 1 - 2r 3r = 1 r = 1/3 So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>

A boy starts from point A and walks 3 meters toward the north, then turns around and walks 6 meters toward the south.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Total distance traveled = 9 m

Explanation:

Given:

Distance travel towards north = 3 meter

Distance travel towards south = 6 meter

Find:

Total distance traveled

Computation:

Total distance traveled = Sum of total distance

Total distance traveled = Distance travel towards north + Distance travel towards south

Total distance traveled = 3 m + 6 m

Total distance traveled = 9 m
