A uniform log of length L is inclined 30° from the horizontal when supported by a frictionless rock located 0.6L from its left e

nd. The mass of the log is 200 kg. An engineer with a mass of 53.5 kg walks along the log from the left to the right until the log is balanced horizontally. How far from the left end of the log is the engineer when the log is horizontal?

Answer:

x = 0.974 L

Explanation:

given,

length of inclination of log = 30°

mass of log = 200 Kg

rock is located at = 0.6 L

L is the length of the log

mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg

let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.

For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium

 ∑ M = 0

mass of the log will be concentrated at the center  

distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L

now,

∑ M = 0

m_{log} g \times 0.1 L = m_{engineer} g \times (x - 0.6 L)

200 \times 0.1 L = 53.5 \times (x - 0.6 L)

0.374 L =x - 0.6 L

       x = 0.974 L

hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L

Airida [17]

Answer:

If the final question is; at what velocity will the first block start to move outward in m/s?

v = 3.5596 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The motion have the velocity that will make the block move using:

F_{1}*F_{r}+ F_{2}= Ec \\Ec= \frac{M*v^{2} }{r}

m_{1} = 1.2 Kg

m_{2} = 2.8 Kg

r = 0,45 m

μs= 0,54

Resolving:

\frac{m_{1}*v^{2}  }{r} = us*m_{1}* g + m_{2} * g

v^{2} = \frac{((us *m_{1} + m_{2})*g )* r}{m_{1} }

v^{2} = \frac{((0.54 *1.2 + 2.8)*9.8 )* 0.45}{1.2}

v^{2} = 12.6714 \frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }

v = 3.559 \frac{m}{s}

You measure the velocity of a drag racer that accelerates with constant acceleration. You want to plot the data and determine th
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

a) Linear equation

Explanation:

Definition of acceleration

a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\

if a=constant and we integrate the last equation

v(t)=v_{o}+a*t

So the relation between the time and the velocity is linear. If we plot the velocity in function of time, the plot is a line, and the acceleration is the slope of this line.

Hubble measured the velocity of the movement of galaxies by using
kogti [31]

Answer:

Hubble measured the velocity of the movement of galaxies by using Hubble's law states that galaxies located farthest from the center of the universe than those closest to the center.

Explanation:

Hubble's Law says that an object's velocity away from an observer is directly proportional to its distance from the observer. In other words, the farther away something is the faster it is moving away from us. The spectrum of a galaxy allows you to measure its redshift.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) Em= K +U,  b) Em= K

Explanation:

The system in this case is formed by the mobilizes and the hill.

Let's write the expressions correctly and completely.

a) When the car moves in the path, the mechanical energy is the siua of the kinetic energy of the car and the potential energy of the car when going up the hill.

              Em = K + U

be) when the car moves in the flat part all the mechanical energy is formed by its kinetic energy that is calculated with the mass and speed of the car

             Em = K

c) When the car goes up the hill the energy the mechanical energy is conserved, but part of the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy.
