N4M.6 A board has one end wedged under a rock having a mass of 380 kg and is supported by another rock that touches the bottom s

ide of the board at a point 85 cm from the end under the rock. The board is 4.5 m long, has a mass of about 22 kg, and projects essentially horizontally out over a river. Is it safe for an adult with a mass of 62 kg to stand at the unsupported end of the board

Answer:

it is safe to stand at the end of the table

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium condition

Στ = 0

W x₁ - w x₂ - w_table x₃ = 0

M x₁ - m x₂ - m_table x₃ = 0

where the mass of the large rock is M = 380 kg and its distance to the pivot point x₁ = 850 cm = 0.85m

the mass of the man is 62 kg and the distance

x₂ = 4.5 - 0.85

x₂ = 3.65 m

the mass of the table (m_table = 22 kg) is at its geometric center

x_{cm} = L/2 = 2.25 m

x₃ = 2.25 -0.85

x₃ = 1.4 m

let's look for the maximum mass of man

m_{maximum} = $\frac{ M x_1 -m_{table} x_3}{ x_2}$

let's calculate

m_{maximum} = $\frac{ 380 \ 0.85 - 22 \ 1.4}{3.65}$ (380 0.85 - 22 1.4) / 3.65

m_{maximum} = 80 kg

we can see that the maximum mass that the board supports without turning is greater than the mass of man

m_{maximum}> m

consequently it is safe to stand at the end of the table

A tree falls in a forest. How many years must pass before the 14C activity in 1.03 g of the tree's carbon drops to 1.02 decay pe

Illusion [34]

Answer:

t = 5.59x10⁴ y

Explanation:

To calculate the time for the ¹⁴C drops to 1.02 decays/h, we need to use the next equation:

$A_{t} = A_{0}\cdot e^{- \lambda t}$ (1)

<em>where $A_{t}$ : is the number of decays with time, A₀: is the initial activity, λ: is the decay constant and t: is the time.</em>

To find A₀ we can use the following equation:

$A_{0} = N_{0} \lambda$ (2)

<em>where N₀: is the initial number of particles of ¹⁴C in the 1.03g of the trees carbon </em>

From equation (2), the N₀ of the ¹⁴C in the trees carbon can be calculated as follows:

$N_{0} = \frac{m_{T} \cdot N_{A} \cdot abundance}{m_{^{12}C}}$

<em>where $m_{T}$ : is the tree's carbon mass, $N_{A}$ : is the Avogadro's number and $m_{^{12}C}$ : is the ¹²C mass. </em>

$N_{0} = \frac{1.03g \cdot 6.022\cdot 10^{23} \cdot 1.3\cdot 10^{-12}}{12} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} atoms ^{14}C$

Similarly, from equation (2) λ is:

$\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}$

<em>where t 1/2: is the half-life of ¹⁴C= 5700 years </em>

$\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{5700y} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}$

So, the initial activity A₀ is:

$A_{0} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} \cdot 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} = 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y$

Finally, we can calculate the time from equation (1):

$t = - \frac{Ln(A_{t}/A_{0})}{\lambda} = - \frac {Ln(\frac{1.02decays \cdot 24h \cdot 365d}{1h\cdot 1d \cdot 1y \cdot 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y})}{1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}} = 5.59 \cdot 10^{4} y$

I hope it helps you!

A stationary 6-kg shell explodes into three pieces. One 4.0 kg piece moves horizontally along the negative x-axis. The other two

natta225 [31]

Answer:

-15 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the 4.0 kg fragment is shown below:

For this question, we use the correlation of the momentum along with horizontal x axis

Given that

Weight of stationary shell = 6 kg

Other two fragments each = 1.0 kg

Angle = 60

Speed = 60 m/s

Based on the above information, the velocity = v is

$1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 + 1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 - 4\ v = 0$

$\frac{60}{2} + \frac{60}{2} - 4\ v = 0$

$v = \frac{60}{4}$

= -15 m/s

olasank [31]

Answer:

M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3 conservation of momentum

V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1 where V2 = speed of M1 after impact

V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9 = (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s

Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign

Convert the volume 8.06 in.3 to m3, recalling that1in. =2.54cmand100cm=1m. Answer in units of m3.

galina1969 [7]

1 in=2.54 cm=(2.54 cm)(1 m/100 cm)=0.0254 m
Therefore:
1 in=0.0254 m
1 in³=(0.0254 m)³=1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³

Therefore:

8.06 in³=(8.06 in³)(1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³ / 1 in³)≈1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³.

Answer: 8.06 in³=1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³
