man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.2 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and h

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

w₂ = 22.6 rad/s

Explanation:

This exercise the system is formed by platform, man and bricks; For this system, when the bricks are released, the forces are internal, so the kinetic moment is conserved.

Let's write the moment two moments

initial instant. Before releasing bricks

L₀ = I₁ w₁

final moment. After releasing the bricks

$L_{f}$ = I₂W₂

L₀ = L_{f}

I₁ w₁ = I₂ w₂

w₂ = I₁ / I₂ w₁

let's reduce the data to the SI system

w₁ = 1.2 rev / s (2π rad / 1rev) = 7.54 rad / s

let's calculate

w₂ = 6.0/2.0 7.54

w₂ = 22.6 rad/s

A cube of wood having an edge dimension of 20.0cm and a density of 650 kg /m³ floats on water. (b) What mass of lead should be p

schepotkina [342]

The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water is 2.8 kg.

<h3>What mass of lead should be placed on the cube?</h3>

Given: Side of the cube (a) = 20cm

The density of the cube (ρc) = $$$650 kg/m^3$

a) Applying the force balance, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the cube

ρcgV = ρg × (Ax)

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$(650*(0.2 m)^3)=1000*(0.2 m)^2*x$

x = 0.13

where x is the height of the cube in the water

$$$A = a^2$ is the area of the cross-section

ρ is the density of the water

V is the volume of the cube

Now, the height above the surface of the water would be

h = a − x

Substituting the values, then we get

h = 0.2 − 0.13

h = 0.07 m

b) The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water, therefore

ρcgV + mg = ρg × (V)

$$(650*(0.2 m)^3)+m=1000*(0.2 m)^3$

m = 2.8 kg

The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water is 2.8 kg.

How many minutes of daylight do we gain after winter solstice

serg [7]

Answer:

Depends on which hemisphere you are belong to and how much distance you are away from Ecuador.

Explanation:

Minutes of daylight is equal on everywhere only on the equinox days (21 March and 23 September). On other days it depends on the place that you are belong to. On winter solstice, places on Ecuador have 12 hours daylight. North side of Ecuador have less, south side of Ecuador have more hour of daylight.

what velocity must a 1340kg car have in order to havw the same momentum as a 2680 kg truck traveling at a velocity of 15m/s to t

kykrilka [37]

Car with a mass of 1210 kg moving at a velocity of 51 m/s.
2. What velocity must a 1340 kg car have in order to have the same momentum as a 2680 kg truck traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s to the west? 3.0 X 10^1 m/s to the west.

Hope i helped
