A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 84.0 cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass

0.600 kg clings to one end of the stick, and a mouse with mass 0.200 kg clings to the other end. The system is released from rest with the rod horizontal. If the animals can manage to hold on, what are their speeds as the rod swings through a vertical position?

Answer:

v = 2.029 m/s

Explanation:

Given

L = 84.0 cm   ⇒  R = 0.5*L = 0.5*84 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m

m₁ = 0.600 kg

m₂ = 0.200 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = ?

Due to gravity, the bar oscillates and becomes vertical. The mass that occupies the lower position is the one with the highest torque. The one that reduces the potential energy (the system tends to the position of minimum energy). This is achieved if the mass that goes down is 0.6kg (that goes down 42cm) and the one that goes up is 0.2kg (goes up 42cm).

In this system mechanical energy is conserved, so we can match its value in the horizontal position with the one in the vertical.

then

Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*(0)² + (m₁+m₂)*9.8*(0) = 0 J

Ef = Kf + Uf

⇒ Kf = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*v² = 0.5*(0.6+0.2)*v² = 0.4*v²

⇒ Uf = m₁*g*h₁ + m₂*g*h₂ = 0.6*9.8*(-0.42) + 0.2*9.8*0.42 = - 1.6464

⇒ Ef = Kf + Uf = 0.4*v² - 1.6464

Since

0 = 0.4*v² - 1.6464  ⇒  v = 2.029 m/s

v is the same value due to the wooden rod is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center and the masses are on opposite ends.

v₁ = v₂ = v    ⇒  ω₁*R₁ = ω₂*R₂  ⇒ ω₁*R = ω₂*R  ⇒ ω₁ = ω₂ = ω

⇒ v = ω*R

Find the mass of a body if the acceleration the body used to move is given as 5 m/s-2 and the force of the body is 30N take g=10
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The mass of a body if the acceleration the body used to move is given as 5 m/s-2 will be 3 kg.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Given data;

Force,F = 30 N

Mass,m =  kg

Acceleration,a = 5 m/s²

The force is found as;

F=ma

30 N =m kg × 5 m/s²

m=3 kg

Hence the mass of a body will be 3 kg.

a red ball moves horizontally in a 30 m long tube what is the displacement of the red ball between 0s and 24s?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

30 metres.

Explanation:

Given that a red ball moves horizontally in a 30 m long tube.

Displacement is the distance travelled in a specific direction. It has both magnitude and direction.

Since the motion is horizontal, it moves is a certain direction.

Within the stipulation of time, the displacement will be the distance covered in the horizontal direction which is 30 metres.

Therefore, the displacement of the motion of the red ball is 30 metres.

Two blocks of masses M 1 and M 2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. M
stealth61 [152]

The mass M1 is 7.8 kg

Explanation:

Block M1 is hanging on the string while block M2 is on the frictionless ramp.

We have to write the equations of motion for the two blocks.

- For M1, the only two forces acting on it are the force of gravity M_1 g (downward) and the tension in the string T (upward). So we can write

M_1 g - T = M_1 a

where

M_1 is the mass of the block

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

a is the acceleration of the system

- For M2, the only two forces acting on it are the tension in the string T (acting up along the ramp) and the component of the gravity acting down along the ramp, M_2 g sin \theta. So the equation of motion is

T-M_2 g sin \theta = M_2 a

where

M_2 = 13.5 kg is the mass of the 2nd block

\theta=35.5^{\circ} is the angle of the ramp

In order for the two blocks to be in equilibrium, the acceleration must be zero:

a=0

So the two equations become:

M_1 g - T=0\\T-M_2 g sin \theta = 0

Isolating T from the 1st equation,

T=M_1 g

And substituting into the 2nd equation, we can find the value of the mass M_1:

M_1 g - M_2 g sin \theta = 0\\M_1 = M_2 sin \theta = (13.5)(sin 35.5^{\circ})=7.8 kg

We repeat the experiment from the video, but this time we connect the wires in parallel rather than in series. Which wire will n
Fed [463]

Answer: B. The copper wire (resistance 0.1)

Explanation: When resistance is in parallel, voltage (V) is the same but current is different for every resistance. Current (i) is related to voltage and resistance (R) by <em>Ohm's Law</em>

i = \frac{V}{R}

So, since both wires are in parallel, they have the same voltage but because the copper wire resistance is smaller than Nichrome wire, the first's current will be bigger.

Every resistor in a circuit dissipates electrical power (P) that is converted into heat energy. The dissipation can be found by:

P = i^{2}*R

As current for copper wire is bigger than nichrome, power will be bigger and it will dissipate more heat.

In conclusion, the copper wire will dissipate more heat when connected in parallel.
