A woman who weighs 500 N stands on an 8.0-m-long board that weighs 100 N. The board is supported at each end. The support force

at the right end is 3 times the support force at the left end. How far from the right end is the woman standing?

Answer:

The woman's distance from the right end is 1.6m = (8-6.4)m.

The principles of moments about a point or axis running through a point and summation of forces have been used to calculate the required variable.

Principle of moments: the sun of clockwise moments must be equal to the sun of anticlockwise moments.

Also the sun of upward forces must be equal to the sun of downward forces.

Theses are the conditions for static equilibrium.

Explanation:

The step by step solution can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you for reading this solution and I hope it is helpful to you.

What is the mass of a dog that weighs 382 N?(unit=kg)
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: mass = 38.93 kg

Explanation:

Data

mass = ?

Weight = 382 N

gravity = 9.81 m/s2

Formula

Weight = mass x gravity

mass = weight / gravity

mass = 382 / 9.81         substitution

mass = 38.93 kg           result

At t = 0 the components of a radio-controlled car's velocity are vx = 0.5 m/s and vy = 1.2 m/s. Find the components of the car's
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x-component of velocity = 5.7 m/s

y-component of velocity = -1.4 m/s          

Explanation:

Use first equation of motion to find components of velocity at a given time:

v = u + at

where, v is  the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Given:

u_x= 0.5 m/s\\u_y=1.2 m/s\\a_x=2 m/s^2\\a_y=-1m/s^2\\t = (2.6-0)s =2.6 s

v_x=u_x+a_xt\\\Rightarrow v_x=0.5+2\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_x=5.7 m/s

v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.2-1\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_y=-1.4 m/s

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart
weeeeeb [17]

Complete Question

A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q1=−2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2= -8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.80m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 20ms−1. Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.The speed of q2 when the spheres are 0.400m apart is.

Answer:

The value v_2  =  4 \sqrt{10} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  charge on the first sphere is  q_1  =  2\mu C  =  2*10^{-6} \  C

    The charge on the second sphere is  q_2 =  8 \mu C = 8*10^{-6} \  C

     The  mass of the second charge is m  =  1.50 \  g  =  1.50 *10^{-3} \ kg

      The  distance apart is  d =  0.4 \  m

      The  speed of the second  sphere is  v_1  =  20 \  ms^{-1}

Generally the total energy possessed by when q_2 and  q_1 are separated by 0.8 \  m is mathematically represented

     Q =  KE + U

Here KE   is  the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

     KE  =  \frac{1 }{2}  m (v_1)^2

substituting value

     KE  =  \frac{1 }{2}  * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (20 )^2

     KE  =  0.3 \  J

And  U is  the  potential  energy which is mathematically represented as

        U  =  \frac{k *  q_1 *  q_2  }{d }

substituting values

       U  =  \frac{9*10^9 *  2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6}  }{0.8 }

      U  =  0.18 \  J

So

       Q =  0.3 +  0.18

       Q =  0.48 \  J

Generally the total energy possessed by when q_2 and  q_1 are separated by 0.4 \  m is mathematically represented

         Q_f =  KE_f + U_f

Here KE_f is  the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

     KE_f  =  \frac{1 }{2}  m (v_2^2

substituting value

     KE_f  =  \frac{1 }{2}  * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (v_2 )^2

     KE_f  =  7.50 *10^{ -4} (v_2 )^2

And  U_f is  the  potential  energy which is mathematically represented as

        U_f  =  \frac{k *  q_1 *  q_2  }{d }

substituting values

       U_f  =  \frac{9*10^9 *  2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6}  }{0.4 }

      U_f  =  0.36 \  J

From the law of energy conservation

     Q =  Q_f

So

    0.48 =  0.36 +(7.50 *10^{-4} v_2^2)

   v_2  =  4 \sqrt{10} \  m/s

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 90.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is equal to 70.15 kg

Explanation:

The data for this exercise are as follows:

F=90 N

insignificant friction force

x=13 m

t=4.5 s

m=?

applying the equation of rectilinear motion we have:

x = xo + vot + at^2/2

where xo = initial distance =0

vo=initial velocity = 0

a is the acceleration

therefore the equation is:

x = at^2/2

Clearing a:

a=2x/t^2=(2x13)/(4.5^2)=1.283 m/s^2

we use Newton's second law to calculate the mass of the ice block:

F=ma

m=F/a = 90/1.283=70.15 kg
