Answer:

a. The moment of the 4 N force is 16 N·m clockwise

b. The moment of the 6 N force is 12 N·m anticlockwise

Explanation:

In the figure, we have;

The distance from the point 'O', to the 6 N force = 2 m

The position of the 6 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the left of 'O'

The distance from the point 'O', to the 4 N force = 4 m

The position of the 4 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the right of 'O'

a. The moment of a force about a point, M = The force, F × The perpendicular distance of the force from the point

a. The moment of the 4 N force = 4 N × 4 m = 16 N·m clockwise

b. The moment of the 6 N force = 6 N × 2 m = 12 N·m anticlockwise.

A skateboarder has an acceleration of −1.9 m/s2. If her initial speed is 6 m/s, how long does it take her to stop?
SSSSS [86.1K]
You said that she's losing 1.9 m/s of her speed every second.

So it'll take

             (6 m/s) / (1.9 m/s²)  =  3.158 seconds  (rounded)

to lose all of her initial speed, and stop.

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec

two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but
Anna11 [10]

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

Block on inclined plane experience a force due to gravity of 300N straight down. If the slope is inclined at 67.8°to the horizon
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.

Explanation:

Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.

Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:

  • Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
  • Fperpendicular = F*cosα =  300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N

<u><em>The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.</em></u>
