A 6 kilogram block in outer space is moving at -100 m/s (to the left). It suddenly experiences three forces as shown below (in t

he attachment). What is the block’s displacement when it finally comes to rest?

Answer:

x = 1474.9 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

We must understand that when forces are applied on the body, they tend to slow the body down to stop it.

So as the body continues to move to the left, it is slowing down. Therefore we must calculate this deceleration value using Newton's second law. We must perform a sum of forces on the x-axis equal to the product of mass by acceleration. With leftward movement as negative and rightward forces as positive.

ΣF = m*a

10 +12*sin(60)= - 6*a\\a = - 3.39[m/s^{2}]

Now using the following equation of kinematics, we can calculate the distance of the block, before stopping completely. The initial speed must be 100 [m/s].

v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2}-2*a*x

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (the block stops)

Vo = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = - 3.39 [m/s²]

x = displacement [m]

0 = 100^{2}-2*3.39*x\\x=\frac{10000}{2*3.39}\\x=1474.9[m]

A clay ball with a mass of 0.48kg has an initial speed of 4.08m/s it strikes a 3.04kg clay ball at rest and the two balls stick
Rom4ik [11]
Final velocity = 0, thus final kinetic energy is 0
Initial kinetic energy:
0.5mv²
= 0.5 x 0.48 x 4.08²
= 4.0 J
Decrease in kinetic energy = 4 - 0 = 4 Joules

A large crane consists of a 20 m, 3,000 kg arm that extends horizontally on top of a vertical tower. The arm extends 15 m toward
Anni [7]

Answer:

m=18000kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Crane Length l=20m

Crane Mass m_a=3000kg

Arm extension at lifting end l_l=15m

Arm extension at counter weight end l_c=5m

Load M_l=5000kg

Generally the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

T_1 *l_c-(m_a*g) *l_c-(T_2)*l_l=0

mg*5 *-(3000*9.8) *5-(5000*9.8)*15=0

m=18000kg
