John is carrying a shovelful of snow. The center of mass of the 3.00 kg of snow he is holding is 15.0 cm from the end of the sho

vel. He is pushing down on the opposite end of the shovel with one hand and holding it up 30.0 cm from that end with his other hand. Ignore the mass of the shovel. Sarah says that his hand pushing down on the shovel must be exerting a greater force than the hand pushing up. James says it is just the reverse. Which one, if either, is correct?

Answer:

James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down

Explanation:

Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards

so here we can say

Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow

while if we find the other force which is acting downwards

then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced

so here we have

F_{down} L_1 = W_{snow} L_2

so here we have

F_{down} = \frac{L_2}{L_1} (W_{snow})

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force

irinina [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum. Mathematically this can be expressed as

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

v_{1,2} = Initial velocity of each object

v_f= Final Velocity

Since the receiver's body is static for the initial velocity we have that the equation would become

m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

(0.42)(21) = (90+0.42)v_f

v_f = 0.0975m/s

Therefore the velocity right after catching the ball is 0.0975m/s

The velocity of a body is given by the equation v= a + bx, where 'x' is displacement. The unit of b is .......
valina [46]

Answer:

s^ -1    ( or    1/sec)

Explanation:

Velocity is given in units of displacement / sec

like feet /sec   or   m/sec    

so b would have units of   s^-1

(or perhaps a more general term would be   time^-1)
