1) The minimum force needed is 920 N

2) The minimum force is 460 N

3) The minimum force is 598 N

Explanation:

1)

We can answer this part by simply looking at the forces involved. In fact, there are two forces acting on the railroad:

  • Its weight, W, acting downward
  • The force applied to lift it, F, upward

So the net force on the railroad is

\sum F = F - W

where

W = 920 N is the weight of the railroad

In order to lift the railroad, the net force must be upward, so

\sum F \geq 0

And therefore

F\geq W

which means that the minimum force needed is equal to the weight of the railroad, 920 N.

2)

In this case, we have to use the principle of equilibrium of moments.

In fact, when the railroad rotates uniformly (=constant angular speed) about its end, it means that the moment produced by the weight (acting in one direction) is equal to the moment produced by the force applied (acting in the other direction). Therefore, we can write:

W \frac{L}{2} = F L

where

W = 920 N is the weight

L = 2.6 m is the length of the railroad

F is the force applied

We wrote L/2 on the left of the equation because the weight acts at the center of mass of the railroad (located at the midpoint), while on the right it is L because the force F is applied at the end of the railroad.

Solving for F,

F=\frac{W}{2}=\frac{920}{2}=460 N

3)

This problem is similar to the previous part, however in this case, the force applied F is applied 0.6 m from the end, pivoting around the opposite end.

This means that the distance between the point of application of the force F and the pivot is

L' = L - 0.6

where

L = 2.6 m

Therefore the equation for the equilibrium of moments becomes

W\frac{L}{2}=F(L-0.6)

and substituting

W = 920 N

L = 2.6

We find the magnitude of F:

W\frac{2.6}{2}=F(2.6-0.6)\\1.3W = 2F\\F=\frac{1.3}{2}W=\frac{1.3}{2}(920)=598 N

*please refer to photo* An electric field of magnitude 5.25 ✕ 10^5N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately 3.86\; {\rm N} (given that the magnitude of this charge is -7.35\; {\rm \mu C}.)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude q is placed in an electric field of magnitude E, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be F = E\, q.

The magnitude of this charge is q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}. Apply the unit conversion 1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}:

\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}.

An electric field of magnitude E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.

A 1.5-kg ball is throw at 10 m/s. What is the balls momentum?
alexdok [17]

Answer : The momentum of ball is, 15 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

where,  

p = momentum  = ?

m = mass  = 1.5 kg

v = velocity = 10 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Therefore, the momentum of ball is 15 kg.m/s
