Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.99-kg object is at 2.99 m, a 2.96-kg object is at 2.57 m, a 2.43-kg o

bject is at the origin, and a 3.96-kg object is at -0.502 m. Where is the center of mass of these objects

Answer:

The center of mass for the object is $y_c = 1.063 \ m$ from the origin

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the first object is $m_1 = 1.99 \ kg$

The position of first object with respect to origin $y_1 = 2.99 \ m$

The mass of the second object is $m_2 = 2.96 \ kg$

The position of second object with respect to origin $y_2 = 2.57 \ m$

The mass of the third object is $m_3 = 2.43 \ kg$

The position of third object with respect to origin $y_3 = 0 \ m$

The mass of the fourth object is $m_3 = 3.96 \ kg$

The position of fourth object with respect to origin $y_3 = -0.502 \ m$

Generally the center of mass of the object along the x-axis is zero because all the mass lie on the y axis

Generally the location of the center mass of the object is mathematically represented as

$y_c = \frac{m_1 * y_1 + m_2 * y_2 + m_3 * y_3 + m_4 * y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}$

=> $y_c = \frac{1.99 * 2.99 + 2.96 * 2.57 + 2.43 * 0 + 3.96 * (-0.502)}{1.99+ 2.96 + 2.43 + 3.96}$

=> $y_c = 1.063 \ m$

A spring with spring constant 15 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is

olga nikolaevna [1]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 15 N/m

Amplitude of the oscillation, A = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

Number of oscillations, N = 31

Time, t = 15 s

(a) Let m is the mass of the ball. The frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Total number of oscillation per unit time is called frequency of oscillation. Here, $f=\dfrac{31}{15}=2.06\ Hz$

$m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}$

$m=\dfrac{15}{4\pi^2\times 2.06^2}$

m = 0.0895 kg

or

m = 89 g

(b) The maximum speed of the ball that is given by :

$v_{max}=A\times \omega$

$v_{max}=A\times 2\pi f$

$v_{max}=0.075\times 2\pi \times 2.06$

$v_{max}=0.970\ m/s$

$v_{max}=97\ cm/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A rocket with a mass of 62,000 kg (including fuel) is burning fuel at the rate of 150 kg/s and the speed of the exhaust gases is

mezya [45]

Answer:

h≅ 58 m

Explanation:

GIVEN:

mass of rocket M= 62,000 kg

fuel consumption rate = 150 kg/s

velocity of exhaust gases v= 6000 m/s

Now thrust = rate of fuel consumption×velocity of exhaust gases

=6000 × 150 = 900000 N

now to need calculate time t = amount of fuel consumed÷ rate

= 744/150= 4.96 sec

applying newton's law

M×a= thrust - Mg

62000 a=900000- 62000×9.8

acceleration a= 4.71 m/s^2

its height after 744 kg of its total fuel load has been consumed

$h= \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$h= \frac{1}{2}4.71\times4.96^2$

h= 58.012 m

h≅ 58 m

Worth 50 point!!!

olasank [31]

Answer:

Chief Hopper

Explanation:

Mike travels at a constant speed of 3.1 m/s. To find how long it takes him to reach the school, we need to find the distance he travels. We can do this using Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²

(1000 m)² + (900 m)² = c²

c ≈ 1345 m

So the time is:

v = d / t

3.1 m/s = 1345 m / t

t ≈ 434 s

Next, Chief Hopper travels a total distance of 1900 m, starting at rest and accelerating at 0.028 m/s². So we can use constant acceleration equation to find the time.

d = v₀ t + ½ at²

1900 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.028 m/s²) t²

t ≈ 368 s

So Chief Hopper reaches the school first, approximately 66 seconds before Mike does.
