A 4.00 m long, massless beam rests horizontally on a support 3.00 m from the left

Physics

Rus_ich [418]3 years ago

If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Given the data in the question;

  • Length of the massless beam;L = 4.00m
  • Distance of support from the left end; x = 3.00m
  • First mass; m1 = 31.3 kg
  • Distance of beam from  the left end( m₁ is attached to ); x_1 = ?
  • Second mass; m_2 = 61.7 kg
  • Distance of beam from  the right of the support( m₂ is attached to ); x_1 = 0.273m

Now, since it is mentioned that the beam is in static equilibrium, the Net Torque on it about the support must be zero.

Hence, m_1g( x-x_1) = m_2gx_2

we divide both sides by g

m_1( x-x_1) = m_2x_2

Next, we make x_1, the subject of the formula

x_1 = x - [ \frac{m_2x_2}{m_1} ]

We substitute in our given values

x_1 = 3.00m - [ \frac{61.7kg\ * \ 0.273m}{31.3kg} ]

x_1 = 3.00m - 0.538m

x_1 = 2.46m

Therefore, If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

I’m not 100% sure but i think it’s A because if you divide the speed by the time you get 2 and also all the other answer choices don’t make any sense!

Invader Zim’s spaceship is sitting at rest in outer space. The ship then accelerates at a uniform rate of 12 m/s2 for 10 seconds
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

120 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 12 m/s²

t = 10 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (12 m/s²) (10 s) + 0 m/s

v = 120 m/s

Recall specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/C. Find the specific heat of sample.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Shown by explanation;

Explanation:

The heat of the sample = mass ×specific heat capacity of the sample × temperature change(∆T)

Assumption;I assume the mass of the samples are : 109g and 192g

∆T= 30.1-21=8.9°c.

The heat of the samples are for 109g are:

0.109 × 4186 × 8.9 =4060.84J

For 0.192g are;

∆T= 67-30.1-=36.9°c

0.192 × 4186×36.9=29656.97J

A 1000 kg truck moving at 2.0 m/s runs into a concrete wall. It takes 0.5 s for the truck to completely stop. What is the magnit
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Momentum is given by

p

=

m

v

. Impulse is the change of momentum,

I

=

Δ

p

and is also equal to force times time:

I

=

F

t

. Rearranging,

F

=

I

=

Δ

Explanation:

Momentum before the collision is

Assuming the truck comes to a complete halt, the momentum after the collision is

The change in momentum,

This is called the impulse:

p

. Impulse is also equal (check the units) to force times time:

We can rearrange this expression to make

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)
