A uniform rod of length l and mass m is pivoted around a line perpindicular to the rod at location l/3
beks73 [17]

Answer:

I for a rod about its center is I = M L^2 / 12

A = L (1/2 - 1/3) = L / 6     distance from middle to location L/3

A^2 = L^2 / 36

I = M L^2 (1/12 + 1/36) = M L^2 (4 / 36) = M L^2 / 9

I about given location by parallel axis theorem

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
n200080 [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9 s

b) 167.8 m

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this question we need to make use of the equations of motion of both the motorcycle xm(t) and the car xc(t) at t=5

Let us consider the position of the motorcycle at t=5 as the origin, that is:

xm(t+5) = vt + (1/2)at^2

xc(t+5) = vt + 60 m

where v = 22.0m/s  and   a=5m/s^2

We are looking for the time t' when the position of the car and the motorcycle are the same:

xm(t'+5)=xc(t'+5)

vt' + (1/2)at'^2 = vt' +60m

t' = √(120 m /a) = 4.89898... s

Since we are considering the origin of the cooordinate system at the position when the motorcycle starts to accelerate, the distance travelled by the motorcycle until it catches the car is given by:

xm(t'+5)= vt' + (1/2)at'^2

xm(9.89898s) = (22 * 9.89898 + 2.5 * 9.89898^2)m

xm(9.89898s)= 167.777... m

A 5 kg book falls from a shelf. If it lands at a speed of 5.7 m/s, from what height did it fall?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

57m

Explanation:

speed = 5.7m/s

or 57/10 m/s

so definitely the time taken will be 10 secs

so speed = distance/time taken

5.7= distance/10

distance = 5.7× 10

Distance = 57m
