-ZERO-   No 17.6 pound Earth-bound cat is going to be able to jump to the top of a 6 feet 7 inch bookshelf unassisted!  Someone should call the SPCA on the writer of this textbook question ;-)

Assuming that this overweight cat is content being placed in such a lofty position, your professor probably wants the answer of <u>156.8 Joules</u>

Mass x  Acceleration of Gravity (on Earth) x elevation = Potential Energy

8 Kg x 9.8 m/s2  x 2 m  = 156.8 J

if you jump from a window that is 2 meters up you will most likely break the bones in your legs when you land however on a tramp
Gemiola [76]
<span>The de-acceleration or negative acceleration of stopping is what damages bones. The ground is rigid and therefore the change in momentum when striking the ground will be large. On the trampoline, the elasticity of the material means that the momentum changes more slowly, resulting in smaller accelerations.</span>

A real object is 10.0 cm to the left of a thin, diverging lens having a focal length of magnitude 16.0 cm. What is the location
amm1812

Answer:

A)6.15 cm to the left of the lens

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

f=-16.0 cm (the focal length is negative for a diverging lens)

p=10.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solvign the equation for q, we find

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-16.0 cm}-\frac{1}{10.0 cm}=-0.163 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{-0.163 cm^{-1}}=-6.15 cm

And the sign (negative) means the image is on the left of the lens, because it is a virtual image, so the correct answer is

A)6.15 cm to the left of the lens

A rod of length L and mass M has a nonuniform mass distribution. The linear mass density (mass per length) is λ=cx2, where x is
grigory [225]

Answer:

Explanation:

λ=c x²

c = λ / x²

λ is mass / length

so its dimensional formula is ML⁻¹

x is length so its dimensional formula is L

c = λ / x²

= ML⁻¹ / L²

= ML⁻³

B )

We shall find out the mass of the rod with the help of given expression of mass per unit length and equate it with given mass that is M

The mass in the rod is symmetrically distributed on both side of middle point.

we consider a small strip of rod of length dx at x distance away from middle point

its mass dm = λdx = cx² dx

By integrating it from -L to +L we can calculate mass of whole rod , that is

M = ∫cx² dx

= [c x³ / 3] from -L/2 to +L/2

= c/3 [ L³/8 + L³/8]

M = c L³/12

c = 12 M L⁻³

C ) Moment of inertia of rod

∫dmx²

= ∫λdxx²

= ∫cx²dxx²

= ∫cx⁴dx

= c x⁵ / 5 from - L/2 to L/2

= c / 5 ( L⁵/ 32 +L⁵/ 32)

= (2c / 160)L⁵

= (c / 80) L⁵

= (12 M L⁻³/80)L⁵

= 3/20 ML²

=
