A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kgkg, inner radius 0.100 mm, and outer radius 0.200 mm is free to rotate without friction around
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 2.86 m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,

ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)

In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have

mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)

To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²

To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula

I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]

I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]

I = 0.04 + 0.01

I = 0.05 kgm²

Also, the angular velocity is given by

w = v / R2

w = 4 / (1/5)

w = 20 rad/s

If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,

0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)

4.9h = 4 + 10

4.9h = 14

h = 14 / 4.9

h = 2.86 m

A force gives a 5.0 kg object an acceleration of 2.0 m/s 2. The same force would give a 20 kg object an acceleration of _____. 0
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

m = 5 kg

a = 2 m/s²

to find the force that accelerates the 4 kg object @ 2 m/s²

F = ma = 5 kg x 2 m/s² = 10 N

To find what acceleration 10 N would give a 20 kg object

a = F/m = 10 N/20 kg = 0.5 m/s

Temka [501]

Answer:3,600 Newtons

Explanation:

The net force acting on the car is

3×10^3squared

Newtons.

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body and its aaceleration,⇒F=ma

Substituting the above given values we get,F=(1500kg) (2.0m /s^2 squared)=3000 N=3×10^3 squared N.

N=newtons

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 0.281 m/s2 to the South for a time of 5.44 seconds. It then increases
andre [41]

Answer:

12.0 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 0.281 m/s²

t₁ = 5.44 s

a₂ = 1.43 m/s²

t₂ = 2.42 s

Find: x

First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.

v = at + v₀

v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s

v = 1.53 m/s

Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²

x = 4.16 m

Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²

x = 12.0 m
