A high school physics teacher also happens to be the junior hockey team coach. During a break at practice, the coach asks two pl

ayers to go to the center of the ice with a 10.0-m pole. A 40-kg player is at one end of the pole and a 60-kg player is at the other end. The players then start pulling themselves together by pulling the rod and sliding on the ice as they move along the rod. When the two players meet, what distance will the 60-kg player have moved

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Since no external force acts on the system , centre of mass of two players will remain the same throughout the movement .

Distance of centre of mass is inversely proportional to mass . So centre of mass of the system will be nearer to 60 kg player

Distance of cetre of mass from 60 kg player

= 10 x 40 / (60+40 )

= 4 m

They will meet at centre of mass .

So, 60 kg player will be moving by a distance of 4 m , 40 kg player will be moving by 6 m before they meet .

The magnitude of the frictional force along the plane is most nearly​
Svetach [21]

Answer:

F = N*μ or F =m*g*μ

Explanation:

The friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the corresponding friction factor.

When a body is in equilibrium over a horizontal plane its normal force value shall be equal to:

N = m*g\\where:\\m=mass [kg]\\g=gravity [m/s^2]\\N= normal force [N]

if we simplify this formula more for a balanced body on a horizontal plane, we will have.

F=m*g*u

A uniform rod of mass 2.30 kg and length 2.00 m is capable of rotating about an axis passing through its center and perpendicula
melomori [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the rod = 1/12 m L²

m is mass of the rod and L is its length

= 1/2 x 2.3 x 2 x 2

= 4.6 kg m²

Moment of inertia of masses attached with the rod

= m₁ d² + m₂ d²

m₁ and m₂ are masses attached , and d is their distance from the axis of rotation

= 5.3 x 1² + 3.5 x 1²

= 8.8 kg m²

Total moment of inertia = 13.4 kg m²

B )

Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

I is total moment of inertia and ω is angular velocity

= .5 x 13.4 x 2²

= 26.8 J .

C )

when mass of rod is negligible , moment of inertia will be due to masses only

Total moment of inertia of masses

= 8.8 kg m²

D )

kinetic energy of the system

= .5 x 8.8 x 2²

= 17.6 J .
