Answer:

The object is not still as it observe from the outer space.

Explanation:

Our earth is not stationary.

It rotates about its own axis with the period of 24 hours and it revolves around the sun with the period of 1 year.

An object is said to be at rest if the position of the object with respect to time changes.

An object is said to be in motion when the position of the object changes with respect to time.

Both the terms rest and motion are relative to each other.

If an observer observe an object on the earth from the outer space, he observe that the object s not still it is also moving as the earth is moving.

So, the object is not still as it observe from the outer space.

frozen [14]

Well if the rock doesn't move, then there is no amount of work done. There is no work done on an object if a force is applied to the object but it DOES NOT change its position, in this case is the rock.

On a horizontal surface is located

Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

n - w = 0

where n = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and w = weight of the object. Hence n = w = mg = 196 N, where m = 20 kg and g = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of static friction µ is such that

80 N = µ (196 N) → µ = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of kinetic friction ν is

40 N = ν (196 N) → ν = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: µ and ν are the Greek letters mu and nu)

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = $\frac{4m}{2} x^2 + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2$

T = $4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy$

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = $-4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant$

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

$L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant$

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange equation = $4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0$

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

At t=0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 25.0 rad/s. It has a constant angular acceleration of 26.0 rad/s2 until a cir

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a) The total angle of the grinding wheel is 569.88 radians, b) The grinding wheel stop at t = 12.354 seconds, c) The deceleration experimented by the grinding wheel was 8.780 radians per square second.

Explanation:

Since the grinding wheel accelerates and decelerates at constant rate, motion can be represented by the following kinematic equations:

$\theta = \theta_{o} + \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

$\omega^{2} = \omega_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot \alpha \cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})$

Where:

$\theta_{o}$ , $\theta$ - Initial and final angular position, measured in radians.

$\omega_{o}$ , $\omega$ - Initial and final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

Likewise, the grinding wheel experiments two different regimes:

1) The grinding wheel accelerates during 2.40 seconds.

2) The grinding wheel decelerates until rest is reached.

a) The change in angular position during the Acceleration Stage can be obtained of the following expression:

$\theta - \theta_{o} = \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

If $\omega_{o} = 25\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $t = 2.40\,s$ and $\alpha = 26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\theta-\theta_{o} = \left(25\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s)^{2}$

$\theta-\theta_{o} = 134.88\,rad$

The final angular angular speed can be found by the equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

If $\omega_{o} = 25\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $t = 2.40\,s$ and $\alpha = 26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\omega = 25\,\frac{rad}{s} + \left(26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s)$

$\omega = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The total angle that grinding wheel did from t = 0 s and the time it stopped is:

$\Delta \theta = 134.88\,rad + 435\,rad$

$\Delta \theta = 569.88\,rad$

The total angle of the grinding wheel is 569.88 radians.

b) Before finding the instant when the grinding wheel stops, it is needed to find the value of angular deceleration, which can be determined from the following kinematic expression:

$\omega^{2} = \omega_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot \alpha \cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})$

The angular acceleration is now cleared:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})}$

Given that $\omega_{o} = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $\theta-\theta_{o} = 435\,rad$ , the angular deceleration is:

$\alpha = \frac{ \left(0\,\frac{rad}{s}\right)^{2}-\left(87.4\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(435\,rad\right)}$

$\alpha = -8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time interval of the Deceleration Phase is obtained from this formula:

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

$t = \frac{\omega - \omega_{o}}{\alpha}$

If $\omega_{o} = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $\alpha = -8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , the time interval is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s} - 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s} }{-8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 9.954\,s$

The total time needed for the grinding wheel before stopping is:

$t_{T} = 2.40\,s + 9.954\,s$

$t_{T} = 12.354\,s$

The grinding wheel stop at t = 12.354 seconds.

c) The deceleration experimented by the grinding wheel was 8.780 radians per square second.

The change in momentum for an object is equal to

koban [17]

Answer:

We conclude that the change in momentum of a body is equal to the impulse experienced by a body.

Explanation:

Considering the equation

F • t = m • Δ v

Here,

m • Δ v is basically a change in momentum of a body which is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the change in its velocity.

Also,

F • t is called the impulse of the object.

In the formula, it is clear that the impulse experienced by a body during the collision is basically a change in the momentum of the body.

In other words, the change in momentum of a body is equal to the impulse experienced by a body.

Therefore, we conclude that the change in momentum of a body is equal to the impulse experienced by a body.
