<h3><u>Answer:- </u></h3>

$\longrightarrow \textsf{D. A bicycle sitting on the ground}$

<h3><u>Solution</u>:-</h3>

<u>Let us check all options -</u>

A) An apple falling from a tree is under the influence of gravity. Thus some force is acting on the apple and it can not said to be in state of equilibrium.

B) A car moving at a constant velocity may said to be in state of equilibrium but the since the car is in motion ,equilibrium is dynamic in nature .Thus , it is not in static equilibrium.

C) A motorcycle speeding up has some acceleration due to some forces. Thus it can also not be said in state of static equilibrium.

D) Since the force acting on bicycle sitting down in zero as well as it is in state of rest , thus bicycle sitting on the ground may said to be in static equilibrium.

A solid cylinder with a mass of 2.72 kg and a radius of 0.083 m starts from rest at a height of 4.20 m and rolls down a 88.7 ◦ s

Bingel [31]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy ,

Potential energy = kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times I \times \omega^{2}$

I = $\frac{mr^{2}}{2}$

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$

$mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{mr^{2}}{2}) \frac{v^{2}}{r^{2}}]$

mgh = $[\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{4} \times mv^{2}]$

$g \times h = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

$9.8 \times 4.2 = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

v = 7.4 m/s

thus, we can conclude that the translational speed of the cylinder when it leaves the incline is 7.4 m/s.

A block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 1.32 m/s. The block encounters an unstretched spring and co

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given time is 1 / 4 of the time period

So Time period of oscillation.

= 4 x .4 =1.6 s

When the block reaches back its original position when it came in contact with the spring for the first time , the block and the spring will have maximum

velocity. After that spring starts unstretching , reducing its speed , so block loses contact as its velocity is not reduced .

So required velocity is the maximum velocity of the block while remaining in contact with the spring.

v ( max ) = w A = 1.32 m /s.

How tall would a tower need to be if the period of a pendulum were 30. seconds

Virty [35]

We use the following expression

T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)

Where T is the period of the pendulum

l is the length of the pendulum

and g the acceleration of gravity

We solve for l

l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m

The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high

A person in the back of a pick-up moving at 20 m/s relative to the Earth, throws a baseball with a speed of 15 m/s in a directio

Bumek [7]

Answer:

This is known as a Galilean transformation where

V' = V - U

Where the primed frame is the Earth frame and the unprimed frame is the frame moving with respect to the moving frame

V - speed of object in the unprimed frame

U - speed of primed frame with respect to the unprimed frame

Here we have:

V = -15 m/s speed of ball in the moving frame (the truck)

U = -20 m/s speed of primed (rest) frame with respect to moving frame

So V' = -15 - (-20) = 5 m/s

It may help if you draw a vector representing the moving frame and then add

a vector representing the speed of the ball in the moving frame.
