A 1 kg ball is hung at the end of a rod 1 m long. If the system balances at a point on the rod one third of the distance from th

e end holding the mass, what is the mass of the rod?

Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Assuming the rod's mass is uniformly distributed, the center of mass is at half the length.

Sum of the moments at the balance point:

-(Mg)(L/3) + (mg)(L/2 − L/3) = 0

(Mg)(L/3) = (mg)(L/2 − L/3)

(Mg)(L/3) = (mg)(L/6)

2M = m

M = 1 kg, so m = 2 kg.

The mass of the rod is 2 kg.

A truck is hauling a 300-kg log out of a ditch using a winch attached to the back of the truck. Knowing the winch applies a cons
torisob [31]

Answer:

0.1 s

Explanation:

The net force on the log is F - f = ma where F = force due to winch = 2850 N, f = kinetic frictional force = μmg where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction between log and ground = 0.45, m = mass of log = 300 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and a = acceleration of log

So F - f = ma

F - μmg = ma

F/m - μg = a

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = F/m - μg

a = 2850 N/300 kg - 0.45 × 9.8 m/s²

a = 9.5 m/s² - 4.41 m/s²

a = 5.09 m/s²

Since acceleration, a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity of log = 0 m/s (since it was a rest before being pulled out of the ditch), v = final velocity of log = 0.5 m/s and t = time taken for the log to reach a speed of 0.5 m/s.

So, making t subject of the formula, we have

t = (v - u)/a

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (v - u)/a

t = (0.5 m/s - 0 m/s)/5.09 m/s²

t = 0.5 m/s ÷ 5.09 m/s²

t = 0.098 s

t ≅ 0.1 s

What is the difference between internal and external force
AnnZ [28]

Answer:External forces are forces caused by external agent outside of the system. Internal forces are forces exchanged by the objects in the system.

Explanation:or our purposes, we will simply say that external forces include the applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance force. And for our purposes, the internal forces include the gravity forces, magnetic force, electrical force, and spring force.HOPE THIS HELPS!!! ^w^

Which of the following statements are true? (mark all that apply)
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(a) and (b)

Explanation:

Energy is the capacity to do work, and exists in various forms. These forms can be converted one to another by the use of appropriate means. Some examples are sound, mechanical, solar, light, which causes the sensation of vision, etc. energy is measured in Joules (J).

The rate of transfer of energy is called power.

i.e Power = \frac{energy}{time}

It is measured in Watts (W).

When a white light is disperses into its colors, gray and black are not part of the colors. And a black sometimes could be as a result of the absorption of all other colors of light.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

C. 2 N forwards

Explanation:

Net Force in y direction = 0 since the lift force and gravity cancel out. Net force in x direction = 6 N forward - 4 N backwards = 2 N forwards.
