Answer:

x₂ = 1.33 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium condition, where the counterclockwise rotations are positive and the zero of the reference system is placed at the turning point on the wall

            Στ = 0

            W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the woman, W₂ the weight of the table.

Let's find the distances.

Since the table is homogeneous, its center of mass coincides with its geometric center, measured at zero.

           x₁ = 2.5 -1.5 = 1 m

The distance of the person is x₂ measured from the turning point, at the point where the board begins to turn the girl must be on the left side so her torque must be negative

            x₂ = \frac{M_1g  }{m_2 g} \ x_1

           

let's calculate

           x₂ = \frac{100}{75}  \ 1

           x₂ = 1.33 m

Two 2.0kg bodies A and B collide The velocities before the collision are U1=15i+30j and U2=-10j+5.0j After the collision V1=-5.0
Svetllana [295]

Use the law of conservation of momentum. Since the momentum is a linear measure, we can treat each of the dimension separately:

i-direction:

m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}=m_1v_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}\\v_{2i} = \frac{m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}-m_1v_{1i}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 15-2\cdot10+2\cdot5)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=10\frac{m}{s}

j-direction:

m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}=m_1v_{1j}+m_2v_{2j}\\v_{2j} = \frac{m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}-m_1v_{1j}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 30+2\cdot5-2\cdot20)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=15\frac{m}{s}

Answer: Final velocity is: (10i + 15j) m/s

Change in the kinetic energy:

\Delta E_k = E_{ku}-E_{kv} = \frac{1}{2}m(u_1^2+u_2^2-v_1^2-v_2^2)=\\=\frac{1}{2}2kg(1125+125-425-325)\frac{m^2}{s^2}=500J

Answer: The system lost 500J worth of kinetic energy in the collision

What is the magnitude of the force that is exerted on a 20 kg mass to give it an acceleration of 10.0
ANEK [815]

Answer:Mass of the body = 20 kg.

Final Velocity = 5.8 m/s.

Initial velocity = 0

Time = 3 seconds.  

Using the Formula,  

Acceleration = (v - u)/ t

= (5.8 - 0)/ 3

= 1.6 m /s².

Now, Using the Formula,  

Force = mass × acceleration

= 20 × 1.6

=
