A rock of mass 170 kg needs to be lifted off the ground. One end of a metal bar is slipped under the rock, and a fulcrum is set

up under the bar at a point that is 0.65 m from the rock. A worker pushes down (perpendicular) on the other end of the bar, which is 1.9 m away from the fulcrum. What force is required to move the rock?

Answer:

866.32 N

Explanation:

The diagram explains better.

Taking the total moment of forces, the sum of the clockwise moment of forces about the fulcrum must be equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moment of forces about the fulcrum:

F * (1.9 - 0.65) = 170 * 9.8 * 0.65

F * 1.25 = 1082.9

F = 1082.9/1.25

F = 866.32 N

A force of 866.32 N is needed to move the rock.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The displacement was 320 meters.

Explanation:

Assuming projectile motion and zero initial speed (i.e., the object was dropped, not thrown down), you can calculate the displacement using the kinematic equation:

d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}10\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 8^2 s^2=320 m

The displacement was 320 meters.

A plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s2 along a runway that is 1800 m long. Assume that the plane reaches
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

26.8 seconds

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to use 2 kinematics equations: *I can't use subscripts for some reason on here so I am going to use these variables:

v = final velocity

z = initial velocity

x = distance

t = time

a = acceleration

{v}^{2}  =  {z}^{2}  + 2ax

v = z + at

First let's find the final velocity the plane will have at the end of the runway using the first equation:

{v}^{2}  =  {0}^{2}  + 2(5)(1800)

v = 60 \sqrt{5}

Now we can plug this into the second equation to find t:

60 \sqrt{5}  = 0 + 5t

t = 12 \sqrt{5}

Then using 3 significant figures we round to 26.8 seconds

Calculate the density of a solid cube that
tia_tia [17]
Ok so if each side is 4.53 cm, we can multiply 4.53 x 4.53 x 4.53 to get the volume (since v= l x w x h). Density equals mass/volume, so

519 g/4.53 cm 
114.57 g/cm^3 (since none of the units cancel)
