Answer:

W = 30.38 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a rock, m = 3.1 kg

We need to find the weight of the rock on the surface of Earth. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

W = 3.1 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 30.38 N

So, the weight of the rock on the Earth is 30.38 N.

Each ball has a negligible size and a mass of 11.5 kg and is attached to the end of a rod whose mass may be neglected. The rod i

Digiron [165]

Answer:

3.31m/s

Explanation:

Angular momentum for 3s is

$L = L_i_n_i + L_3_s$

$L = 2(11.5kg) + \int\limits^ {3s}_ {0s} {(t^2 + 2)} \, dt$

$L = 23kg+(\frac{t^3}{3} +2t)^ {3s}_ {0s}\\\\L=38kgm/s$

Moment if inertia is

$I = 2ml^2$

$I = 2(11.5)(0.5)^2\\\\I=5.75kgm^2$

Angular speed

ω = L/I

$= 38 / 5.75\\\\=6.61$

The speed of each ball is

V = ωL

$= 6.61\times0.5\\\\= 3.31m/s$

1.)Two objects, one of m=20,000 kg, and another of 12,500 kg, are placed at a distance of 5 meters apart. What is the force of g

Delvig [45]

1) $6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N$

The force of gravitation between the two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} kg^{-1} m^{3} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1 = 20,000 kg is the mass of the first object

m2 = 12,500 kg is the mass of the second object

r = 5 m is the distance between the two objects

Substituting the numbers inside the equation, we find

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(20,000 kg)(12,500 kg)}{(5 m)^2}=6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N$

2) $2.7\cdot 10^{-3} N$

From the formula in exercise 1), we see that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

$F \sim \frac{1}{r^2}$

this means that if we cut in a half the distance without changing the masses, the magnitude of the forces changes by a factor

$F'\sim \frac{1}{(r/2)^2}=4 \frac{1}{r^2}=4F$

So, the gravitational force increases by a factor 4. Therefore, the new force will be

$F' = 4 F=4(6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N)=2.7\cdot 10^{-3} N$

3) 12.5 Nm

The torque is equal to the product between the magnitude of the perpendicular force and the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation:

$\tau=Fd$
