Gnom [1K]3 years ago

Answer:

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

Explanation:

We have net force on the object F = 16 N

Acceleration of the object a=5m/sec^2

We have top find the mass of the object

From newton law of motion we know that force is given by

F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration

So 16=5\times m

m=3.2kg

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion betwee
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

Explanation:

A conservative force is defined as a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of motion.

This means that for a conservative force, it is possible to defined a potential energy function U which depends only on the position of the object. An example of conservative force is gravity: the gravitational potential energy of an object, in fact, depends only on its position in the field, not on the path taken.

This behaviour also implies that when an object moves from A to B and then back from B to A, the potential energy gained (or lost) moving from A to B is lost (or re-gained) when moving from B to A. This means that the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) of the object is conserved, and therefore there is a constant conversion between potential and kinetic energy during the motion.

A non-conservative force instead does not show this properties, as the work done by it depends on the path taken, and therefore it is not possible to define a potential energy function. An example of non-conservative force is friction.

According to what we wrote above, therefore, the only correct statements are:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about a perpendicular axis at one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.231 N

Explanation:

To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

\alpha = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{6.37}{9.87} = 0.6454 rad/s^2

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

I = \frac{mL^2}{3} = \frac{1.27*0.847^2}{3} = 0.303kgm^2

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

T = I\alpha = 0.303*0.6454 = 0.196 Nm

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

F = \frac{T}{L} = \frac{0.196}{0.847} = 0.231 N
