Three dogs (Spot, Fido, and Steinberg) are pulling on a chew toy. The chew toy is experiencing no acceleration. Spot is pulling

with a force of 30 Newtons directly South. Fido is pulling with a force of 20 Newtons at an angle of 63 degrees North of East. What are the magnitude and direction of the force that Steinberg is applying?

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the force applied by Steinberg are approximately 15.192 newtons and 126.704º.

Explanation:

The chew toy is at equilibrium and experimenting three forces from three distinct dogs. The Free Body Diagram depicting the system is attached below. By Newton's Laws we construct the following equations of equilibrium: (<em>Sp</em> is for Spot, <em>F</em> is for Fido and <em>St</em> is for Steinberg) All forces and angles are measured in newtons and sexagesimal degrees, respectively:

\Sigma F_{x} = F_{F}\cdot \cos \theta_{F} + F_{St,x} = 0 (1)

\Sigma F_{y} = F_{F}\cdot \sin \theta_{F}-F_{Sp}+F_{St,y} = 0 (2)

If we know that F_{F} = 20\,N, F_{Sp} = 30\,N and \theta_{F} = 63^{\circ}, then the components of the force done by Steinberg on the chewing toy is:

F_{St,x} = -F_{F}\cdot \cos \theta_{F}

F_{St,x} = -(20\,N)\cdot \cos 63^{\circ}

F_{St, x} = -9.080\,N

F_{St,y} = F_{Sp}-F_{F}\cdot \sin \theta_{F}

F_{St,y} = 30\,N-(20\,N)\cdot \sin 63^{\circ}

F_{St, y} = 12.180\,N

The magnitud of the force is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

F_{St} = \sqrt{F_{St,x}^{2}+F_{St,y}^{2}}

F_{St} =\sqrt{(-9.080\,N)^{2}+(12.180\,N)^{2}}

F_{St} \approx 15.192\,N

Since the direction of this force is in the 3rd Quadrant on Cartesian plane, we determine the direction of the force with respect to the eastern semiaxis:

\theta_{St} = 180^{\circ} + \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{F_{St,y}}{F_{St,x}}\right)

\theta_{St} = 180^{\circ} + \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{12.180\,N}{-9.080\,N}\right)

\theta_{St} \approx 126.704^{\circ}

The magnitude and direction of the force applied by Steinberg are approximately 15.192 newtons and 126.704º.

Two objects, one with a mass of and the other with a force of 30.0kg experience a gravitational force of attraction of 7.50 * 10
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this is

F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one object and m2 is the mass of the other object. We are looking for r, the distance between the centers of their masses.

Filling in:

7.5*10^{-8}=\frac{6.67*10^{-11}(90.0)(30.0)}{r^2} and moving things around to solve for r:

r=\sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}(90.0)(30.0)}{7.5*10^{-8}} } Doing all that and rounding to the 3 sig fig's you need gives us a distance of 1.55 m

comparing the blank of an object with that of a liquid will tell you where or not the objects will float in that liquid
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Density

Explanation: Recall Archimedes Principle. There are two forces acting an object submerged in a liquid: the force of gravity and the  (opposite directed) force of buoyancy. The buoyancy is proportional to the mass of the liquid displaced by the submerged part of the object.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Therefore if the density of the submerged object is higher than that of the displaced liquid, the net force will point in the direction of the gravity (object will sink). In the opposite case, the net force will point in the direction of the buoyant force (upward) and the object will float.

A simple harmonic oscillator consists of a block (m = 0.50 kg) attached to a spring (k = 128 N/m). The block is pulled a certain
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0.5 m

14.00595

8 m/s, 0.0625 s

5.71314 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 128 N/m

A = Amplitude

E = Energy in spring = 16 J

Energy in spring is given by

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{k}}\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 16}{128}}\\\Rightarrow A=0.5\ m

The amplitude is 0.5 m

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5}{128}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.39269\ s

Number of oscillations is given by

N=\dfrac{5.5}{0.39269}\\\Rightarrow N=14.00595

The number of oscillations is 14.00595

For maximum speed

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=16\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{16\times 2}{0.5}}\\\Rightarrow v=8\ m/s

The maximum speed is 8 m/s

For a distance of 0.5 m which is the amplitude

Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\dfrac{0.5}{8}\\\Rightarrow Time=0.0625\ s

The time taken would be 0.0625 s

The maximum kinetic energy is equal to the mechanical energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=16

At x = 0.35 m

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{16-\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{16-\dfrac{1}{2}128\times 0.35^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}0.5}}\\\Rightarrow v=5.71314\ m/s

The speed of the block is 5.71314 m/s
