A tiger paces back and forth along the front of its cage, which is 8 m wide. The tiger starts from the right side of the cage, p

aces to the left side, then back to the right side, and finally back to the left. What total distance has the tiger paced? What is the tiger's resultant displacement?

Answer:

The total distance is 24 m.

The tiger's resultant displacement is 8 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Width of tiger= 8 m

Tiger starts from the right side of the cage,

Paces to the left side

$\Delta x_{1}=+8\ m$

Then, back to the right side,

$\Delta x_{2}=-8\ m$

finally, back to the left

$\Delta x_{3}=+8\ m$

We need to calculate the total distance covered

Using formula of distance

$d= x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}$

Put the value into the formula

$d=8+8+8$

$d=24\ m$

We need to calculate the tiger's resultant displacement

Using formula of displacement

$D=\Delta x_{1}+\Delta x_{2}+\Delta x_{3}$

Put the value into the formula

$D=8+(-8)+8$

$D=8\ m$

Hence, The total distance is 24 m.

The tiger's resultant displacement is 8 m.

A 20 kg wagon is pulled along the level ground by a rope inclined at 30 degree above the horizontal. A friction force of 30 N op

Elan Coil [88]

(a) 34.6 N

To solve the problem, we have to analyze the forces acting along the horizontal direction.

We have:

- Forward: the component of the pull parallel to the ground, which is

$F cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the pull

$\theta=30^{\circ}$ is the angle

- Backward: the force of friction, which is

$F_f = 30 N$

So, the equation of motion is

$F cos \theta - F_f = ma$

where

m = 20 kg is the mass of the wagon

a is the acceleration

In this part, the wagon is moving at constant speed, so a =0 and the equation becomes

$F cos \theta - F_f = 0$

Therefore, we can find the pulling force:

$F=\frac{F_f}{cos \theta}=\frac{30}{cos 30}=34.6 N$

(b) 43.9 N

In this case, the acceleration is

$a=0.40 m/s^2$

So, the equation of motion in this case is

$F cos \theta - F_f = ma$

So this time we have to take into account the term (ma).

Using the same data as before:

m = 20 kg

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

$F_f = 30 N$

We find the new magnitude of F:

$F=\frac{ma+F_f}{cos \theta}=\frac{(20)(0.40)+30}{cos 30}=43.9 N$

A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The ra

Pavlova-9 [17]

The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:

The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
The normal reaction, N also acting downward

Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:

$N+mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where:

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

v is the speed of the pail

r = 1.2 m is the radius of the circle

The water starts to spill out when the normal reaction of the pail becomes zero:

N = 0

When this occurs, the equation becomes:

$mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}$

And substitutin the values of g and r, we find the minimum speed that the water must have in order not to spill out:

$v=\sqrt{(9.8)(1.2)}=3.4 m/s$
