Answer:

v = 60.62 km/h

Explanation:

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is that which is due to the movement of bodies and is calculted like this:

K = (1/2)mv² Formula (1)

Where:

K : Kinetic energy (J)

m: mass (kg)

v : speed (m/s)

Data for the truck

m = 15000 kg

v= 21 km/h = 21 *(1000m)/ (3600s)

v= 5.83 m/s

Calculation of the kinetic energy of the truck

We replace data in the formula (1)

K = (1/2)mv²

K = (1/2)(15000)(5.83)²

K = 255208.3 J

Data for the compact car

K = 255208.3 J =  255208.3 (N*m)

m = 1800 kg

Calculation of the speed  of the compact car

We replace data in the formula (1)

K = (1/2)mv²

255208.3 = (1/2)( 1800)(v)²

255208.3 = ( 900)(v)²

v² = 255208.3 / ( 900)

v= \sqrt{\frac{255208.3}{900} }

v = 16.84 m/s

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

v = 16.84*(3600/1000)km/h

v = 60.62 km/h

a concrete cube of side 0.50 m and uniform density 2.0 x 103 kg m–3 is lifted 3.0 m vertically by a crane. what is the change in
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Change in potential energy = 7350 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Side of cube, a = 0.5 m

Density of cube, d=2\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

The cube is lifted vertically by a crane to a height of 3 m

We know that, density d=\dfrac{m}{V}

So, m = d × V  (V = volume of cube = a³)

m=2\times 10^3\ kg/m^3\times (0.5\ m)^3

m = 250 kg

We have to find the change in potential energy of the cube. At ground level, the potential energy is equal to 0.

Potential energy at height h is given by :

PE=mgh

PE = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s² ×3 m

PE = 7350 Joules

So, change in potential energy of the cube is 7350 Joules.

Answer:

x ’= 1,735 m,  measured from the far left

Explanation:

For the system to be in equilibrium, the law of rotational equilibrium must be fulfilled.

Let's fix a reference system located at the point of rotation and that the anticlockwise rotations have been positive

             

They tell us that we have a mass (m1) on the left side and another mass (M2) on the right side,

the mass that is at the left end x = 1.2 m measured from the pivot point, the mass of the right side is at a distance x and the weight of the body that is located at the geometric center of the bar

           x_{cm} = 1.2 -1

          x_ {cm} = 0.2 m

          Σ τ = 0

          w₁ 1.2 + mg 0.2 - W₂ x = 0

          x = \frac{m_1 g\ 1.2 \ + m g \ 0.2}{M_2 g}

          x = \frac{m_1 \ 1.2 \ + m \ 0.2 }{M_2}

let's calculate

          x = \frac{2.9 \ 1.2 \ + 4 \ 0.2 }{8.00}2.9 1.2 + 4 0.2 / 8

           

          x = 0.535 m

measured from the pivot point

measured from the far left is

           x’= 1,2 + x

           x'=  1.2 + 0.535

           x ’= 1,735 m

The sensitivity of a measuring instrument is the value of the smallest quantity that can be read or estimated with it. What is t
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.
