A cat walks along a plank with mass M= 6.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of the plank is a di

stance d1= 0.850 m to the left of sawhorse B. When the cat is a distance d2= 1.11 m to the right of sawhorse B, the plank just begins to tip.
If the cat has a mass of 2.9 kg, how far to the right of sawhorse B can it walk before the plank begins to tip?

Answer:

d₂ = 1.466 m

Explanation:

In this case we must use the rotational equilibrium equations

        Στ = 0

        τ = F r

we must set a reference system, we use with origin at the easel B and an axis parallel to the plank , we will use that the counterclockwise ratio is positive

      + W d₁ - w_cat d₂ = 0

      d₂ = W / w d₁

      d₂ = M /m d₁

      d₂ = 5.00 /2.9    0.850

      d₂ = 1.466 m

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we know that

v_0 = 660 m/s

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

m = 5 \times 10^9 kg

r = 4 \times 10^9 m

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

now from above formula

GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2

now plug in all data

2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2

v = 7934.2 m/s

Darya [45]
<span>As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road is kinetic friction.

We exert force to move the object from rest and in this case, static friction works. But, when the object comes in motion, then kinetic friction works. Here, since the car is driving without slipping means, kinetic friction acts on it. Its also called sliding or dynamic friction.</span>
