The most important difference between a wedge and an inclined plane is ___

4. A disobedient student dropped his Physics textbook (mass 0.1kg) from the window (15m above the ground). How fast was it going

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

v= 17.15 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the book=0.1 Kg

height above ground, h= 15 m

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}$

$v=\sqrt{294}$

v= 17.15 m/s

Hence, the book will hit the ground at the speed of 17.15 m/s.

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass $_{Hank$ × Acceleration $_{Hank$ = Mass $_{Henry$ × Acceleration $_{Henry$

so

Mass $_{Hank$ / Mass $_{Henry$ = Acceleration $_{Henry$ / Acceleration $_{Hank$

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass $_{Hank$ / Mass $_{Henry$ = 1 / 1.26

Mass $_{Hank$ / Mass $_{Henry$ = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

What happens in a tug of war if the net forces are balanced and why?

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Balanced forces are responsible for unchanging motion. Balanced forces are forces where the effect of one force is cancelled out by another. A tug of war, where each team is pulling equally on the rope, is an example of balanced forces. The forces exerted on the rope are equal in size and opposite in direction.

A particle moves in a straight line with the velocity function v ( t ) = sin ( w t ) cos 3 ( w t ) . find its position function

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$
