I assume that the ball is stationary (v=0) at point B, so its total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to 7.35 J.
At point A, all this energy has converted into kinetic energy, which is:
And since K=7.35 J, we can find the velocity, v:
Explanation:
Joule (J) is the MKS unit of energy, equal to the force of one Newton acting through one meter.
Answer:
Explanation:
Volume per unit time flowing will be conserved
a₁v₁ = a₂ v₂
π r₁² x v₁ = π r₂² x v₂
(0.9 x 10⁻²)² x .35 = ( .45 x 10⁻² )² x v₂
v₂ = 1.4 m / s
Moment about the pivot must be equal for the seesaw to balance. Initially, the first cat and the bowl are at 2 m from the pivot.
The moment due to cat = 5.3*2 = 10.6 kg.m
The moment due to bowl = 2.5*2 = 5 kg.m
The unbalanced moment = 10.6 - 5 = 5.6 kg.m
Therefore, the 3.7 kg cat should stand at a distance x from the pivot in left to balance the 5.6 kg.m.
That is,
3.7*x = 5.6 => x = 5.6/3.7 = 1.5134 m to the left (on the side of the bowl)
