Answer:

x = 45 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a rod, L = 50 cm

Mass, m₁ = 0.2 kg

It is at 40cm from the left end of the rod.

We need to find the distance from the left end of the rod should a 0.6kg mass be hung to balance the rod.

The centre of mass of the rod is at 25 cm.

Taking moments of both masses such that,

$15\times 0.2=x\times 0.6\\\\x=\drac{3}{0.6}\\\\x=5\ cm$

The distance from the left end is 40+5 = 45 cm.

Hence, at a distance of 45 cm from the left end it will balance the rod.

Skylar travels 50 meters N and then goes 30 meters W before coming straight back south 20 meters. What distance did she travel?

lesya [120]

Answer:

$100\ \text{meters}$ .

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is $50\ \text{meters}$

Then she traveled $30\ \text{meters}$ Westward.

After which she traveled $20\ \text{meters}$ towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

$50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}$

The distance traveled by Skylar was is $100\ \text{meters}$ .

This time particle A starts from rest and accelerates to the right at 65.5 cm/s

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

t = 4 s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle A starts from Rest with constant acceleration

So the distance moved by the particle in given time "t"

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(65.5)t^2$

$d_1 = 32.75 t^2 cm$

Now we know that B moves with constant speed so in the same time B will move to another distance

$d_2 = 44 \times t$

now we know that B is already 349 cm down the track

so if A and B will meet after time "t"

then in that case

$d_1 = 349 + d_2$

$32.75 t^2 = 349 + 44 t$

on solving above kinematics equation we have

$t = 4 s$

A particle moves in a straight line with the velocity function v ( t ) = sin ( w t ) cos 3 ( w t ) . find its position function

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

<h3>How to get the position equation of the particle?</h3>

Let the velocity of the particle is:

$$v(t)=\sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t)$

To get the position equation we just need to integrate the above equation:

$$f(t)=\int \sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t) d t$

$$\mathrm{u}=\cos (\omega \mathrm{t})$

Then:

$$d u=-\sin (\omega t) d t$

$\Rightarrow d t=-d u / \sin (\omega t)$

Replacing that in our integral we get:

$\int \sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t) d t$

$-\int \frac{\sin (\omega t) * u^2 d u}{\sin (\omega t)}-\int u^2 d t=-\frac{u^3}{3}+c$

Where C is a constant of integration.

Now we remember that $u=\cos (\omega t)$

Then we have:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)}{3}+C$

To find the value of C, we use the fact that f(0) = 0.

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega * 0)}{3}+C=\frac{1}{3}+C=0$

C = -1 / 3

Then the position function is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

How does the amount of friction affect the sum of forces

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

<h3>Newton's 2nd law states acceleration is proportional to the net force acting on an object. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces applied to the object. ... In this case the acceleration (slowing down) of the puck is proportional to the amount of friction.</h3>
