Answer:

The gravitational attraction of the Sun is what holds the planets in their elliptical orbits. So to explain this the mass effects the motion of the planets because the strength of gravitational force depends of the mass.

Karen has a mass of 51.9 kg as she rides the up escalator at Woodley Park Station of the Washington D.C. Metro. Karen rode a dis

kifflom [539]

Answer:

28852 J

Explanation:

When a force applied in a body produces a displacement in it, the force realized a work. The force that moves Karen is contrary to her weight and must be equal to it.

The work (W) is:

W = F.d.cos(θ), where F is the force, d is the displacement, and θ is the angle.

Knowing that cos(26°) = 0.899, and F = m*g

W = 51.9*9.8*63.1*0.899

W = 28852 J

A uniform, 4.5 kg, square, solid wooden gate 2.0 mm on each side hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its

True [87]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w = 1.43\ rad/sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of wooden gate is $m_g = 4.5 kg$

The length of side is L = 2 m

The mass of the raven is $m_r = 1.2 kg$

The initial speed of the raven is $u_r = 5.0m/s$

The final speed of the raven is $v_r = 1.5 m/s$

From the law of conservation of angular momentum we express this question mathematically as

Total initial angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate = The Final angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate

The initial angular momentum of the Raven is $m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}$

Note: the length is half because the Raven hit the gate at the mid point

The initial angular momentum of the Gate is zero

Note: This above is the generally formula for angular momentum of square objects

The final angular velocity of the Raven is $m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}$

The final angular velocity of the Gate is $\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w$

Substituting this formula

$m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w + m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w = m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2} - m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w = m_r * \frac{L}{2} * [u_r - v_r]$

Where $w$ is the angular velocity

Substituting value

$\frac{1}{3} (4.5)(2)^2 w = 1.2 * \frac{2}{2} * [5 - 1.5]$

$6w = 4.2$

$w = \frac{6}{4.2}$

$w = 1.43\ rad/sec$
