We will find that his average velocity is 1.11 m/s north-wise.

<h3>How to get the average velocity?</h3>

We define average velocity as the quotient between the displacement and the time it takes to make that displacement.

We know that he starts at the point 0m, where this measures distance in the north direction.

Then he moves 1000 meters north, so the new position is 1000m.

Then he moves 200 meters south, so the new position is:

1000m - 200m = 800m.

The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position (800m) and the initial position (0m).

D = 800m - 0m = 800m.

And we know that it takes 12 minutes to walk that distance. Because we want the average velocity in meters per second, we write:

12 minutes = 12*(60 seconds) = 720s

Then the average velocity is just:

AV = (800m)/(720s) = 1.11 m/s

And the direction of this average velocity is north-wise.

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a

  F  =326.7 \ N

b

  M  = 6

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

          The mass of the rock is  m_r  =  200 \ kg

          The  length of the small object from the rock is  d  =  2 \ m

          The  length of the small object from the branch l  =  12 \ m

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The  force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

      W =  m_r *  g

substituting values

     W =   200 *  9.8

     W =   1960 \ N

 So  at  equilibrium the sum  of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

         \sum  M_f  =  F * cos \theta *  l  -  W cos\theta  *  d =  0

Here  \theta is very small so  cos\theta  *  l  =  l

                               and  cos\theta  *  d  =  d

Hence

       F *   l  -  W  * d =  0

=>    F  = \frac{W * d}{l}

substituting values

        F  = \frac{1960 *  2}{12}

       F  =326.7 \ N

The  mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

          M  = \frac{W}{F}

substituting values

        M  = \frac{1960}{326.7}

       M  = 6

Two boxes (24 kg and 62 kg) are being pushed across a horizontal frictionless surface, as the drawing shows. The 36-N pushing fo
defon

Answer:

F = 26.04 N

Explanation:

As we know that system of two boxes are moving on frictionless surface

So here if two boxes are considered as a system

then we have

F = (m_1 + m_2) a

m_1 = 24 kg

m_2 = 62 kg

F = 36 N

36 = (24 + 62) a

a = 0.42 m/s^2

Now since we know that both the boxes are moving together so force applied by first box on other box is given as

F = ma

F = (62 \times 0.42)

F = 26.04 N
