A horizontal uniform board of weight 125N and length 4 m is supported by vertical chains at each end. A person weighing 500N sit

ting on the board .Thr tension in the right chain is 250N. How far from left of the end person is sitting

Let's apply an equation of equilibrium to the situation: The sum of the moments about the left end of the board must equal 0.

We have three moments to add. Positive force values indicate upward direction and negative values indicate downward direction. All distances given below are measured to the right side of the left end of the board:

The weight of the board, -125N, located at 2m (center of the board due to its uniform density)
The tension in the right chain, +250N, located at 4m
The weight of the person, -500N, located at a distance "x"

The sum of the moments must equal 0 and is given by:

ΣFx = 0

F is the magnitude of force, x = distance from the left end of the board

Plug in all of the force and distance values and solve for x:

ΣFx = 250(4) - 125(2) - 500x = 0

500x = 750

x = 1.5m

A boat is traveling at an initial velocity of 2.7 meters per second in the positive direction. It accelerates at a rate of 0.15

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.5 \ m/s \ in \ the \ positive \ direction}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity of the boat.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

$v_f= v_i + at$

The initial velocity is 2.7 meters per second. The acceleration is 0.15 meters per second squared. The time is 12 seconds.

$v_i$ = 2.7 m/s
a= 0.15 m/s²
t= 12 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s)$

Multiply the numbers in parentheses.

$v_f= 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s/s * 12 \ s)$

$v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s *12)$

$\v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)$ $v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)$

Add.

$v_f=4.5 \ m/s$

The final velocity of the boat is <u>4.5 meters per second in the positive direction.</u>

Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 4.0 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each trav

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The coefficient of rolling friction will be "0.011".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Initial speed,

$v_i = 4.0 \ m/s$

then,

$v_f=\frac{4.0}{2}$

$=2.0 \ m/s$

Distance,

s = 18.2 m

The acceleration of a bicycle will be:

⇒ $a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{(2.0)^2-(4.0)^2}{2\times 18.2}$

⇒ $=\frac{4-8}{37}$

⇒ $=\frac{-4}{37}$

⇒ $=0.108 \ m/s^2$

As we know,

⇒ $f=ma$

and,

⇒ $\mu_rmg=ma$

⇒ $\mu_r=\frac{a}{g}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{0.108}{9.8}$

⇒ $=0.011$
