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.

A uniform marble rolls down a symmetrical bowl, start- ing from rest at the top of the left side. The top of each side is a dist
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Part a)

h' = \frac{10}{14} h

Part b)

if both sides are rough then it will reach the same height on the other side because the energy is being conserved.

Part c)

Since marble will go to same height when it is rough while when it is smooth then it will go to the height

h' = \frac{10}{14} h

so on smooth it will go to lower height

Explanation:

As we know by energy conservation the total energy at the bottom of the bowl is given as

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = mgh

here we know that on the left side the ball is rolling due to which it is having rotational and transnational both kinetic energy

now on the right side of the bowl there is no friction

so its rotational kinetic energy will not change and remains the same

so it will have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh'

now we know that

I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2

\omega = \frac{v}{r}

so we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mr^2)(\frac{v}{r})^2 = mgh

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{5}mv^2 = mgh

\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgh

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{10}{14}mgh

so the height on the smooth side is given as

h' = \frac{10}{14} h

Part b)

if both sides are rough then it will reach the same height on the other side because the energy is being conserved.

Part c)

Since marble will go to same height when it is rough while when it is smooth then it will go to the height

h' = \frac{10}{14} h

so on smooth it will go to lower height

A 115 g hockey puck sent sliding over ice is stopped in 15.1 m by the frictional force on it from the ice.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

(a) Ff = 0.128 N

(b μk = 0.1135

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because the hockey puck  moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf=v₀+a*t Formula (1)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s

Calculation of the acceleration of the  hockey puck

We apply the Formula (1)

vf=v₀+a*t      v₀=5.8 m/s ,  vf=0

0=5.8+a*t

-5.8 = a*t

a= -5.8/t   Equation (1)

We replace a= -5.8/t in the Formula (2)

d= v₀*t+ (1/2)*a*t²   ,  d=15.1 m ,  v₀=5.8 m/s

15.1 = 5.8*t+ (1/2)*(-5.8/t)*t²  

15.1= 5.8*t-2.9*t

15.1= 2.9*t

t = 15.1 / 2.9

t= 5.2 s

We replace t= 5.2 s in the equation (1)

a= -5.8/5.2

a= -1.115 m/s²

(a) Calculation of the  frictional force (Ff)

We apply Newton's second law

∑F = m*a    Formula (3)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Look at the free body diagram of the  hockey puck in the attached graphic

∑Fx = m*a     m= 115g * 10⁻³ Kg/g = 0.115g    ,  a= -1.12 m/s²

-Ff = 0.115*(-1.115)  We multiply by (-1 ) on both sides of the equation

Ff = 0.128 N

(b) Calculation of the coefficient of friction (μk)

N: Normal Force (N)

W=m*g= 0.115*9.8= 1.127 N : hockey puck  Weight

g: acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s²

∑Fy = 0

N-W=0

N = W

N =  1.127 N

μk = Ff/N

μk = 0.128/1.127

μk = 0.1135

Woman pulls a 6.87 kg suitcase,
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

2.24 m/s

Explanation:

resolving force of 29.2 N in x component

Fx = 29.2 cos 57.7

Fx = 15.6N

as force of friction is 12.7 N hence net force which produces acceleration is

15.6-12.7=2.9 N

by Newton 's law a=f/m

a= 2.9/6.87=0.422 m/s^2

now equation of motion is

v^2= U^2+2as

 = 0^2+2(.422)(5.93)

v^2=5.00

v=2.24 m/s
