A ruler of length 0.30m is pivoted at its centre. Equal and opposite forces of magnitude 2.0N are applied to the ends of the rul

er, creating a couple which create an angle of 50o with the ruler. What is the magnitude of the torque of the couple on the ruler.

Answer:

0.3858 Nm

Explanation:

The torque of the couple is the dot product of the force vector and the couple vector from 1 end of the ruler to the center. This equals to the product of their magnitude times the cosine() of the angle made by their direction:

T = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} = Fscos(50^0) = 2 * 0.3 * 0.643 = 0.3858 Nm

Sometimes arithmetic problems can be solved much more easily using the dimensional analysis approach. You focus on the units of the given information. Then, you manipulate them applying the laws of algebra where like units cancel, in order to end up with the unit of the unknown.

Given:
-50 nc/step
31 steps
Unknown: charge

Thus,
Charge = -50 nc/step * 31 steps =<em> -1550 nc</em>

Two billiard balls of equal mass move at right angles and meet at the origin of an xy coordinate system. Initially ball A is mov
frez [133]

Answer:

Speed of ball A after collision is 3.7 m/s

Speed of ball B after collision is 2 m/s

Direction of ball A after collision is towards positive x axis

Total momentum after collision is m×4·21 kgm/s

Total kinetic energy after collision is m×8·85 J

Explanation:

<h3>If we consider two balls as a system as there is no external force initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system</h3>

Let the mass of each ball be m kg

v_{1} be the velocity of ball A along positive x axis

v_{2} be the velocity of ball A along positive y axis

u be the velocity of ball B along positive y axis

Conservation of momentum along x axis

m×3·7 = m× v_{1}

∴  v_{1} = 3.7 m/s along positive x axis

Conservation of momentum along y axis

m×2 = m×u + m× v_{2}

2 = u +  v_{2} → equation 1

<h3>Assuming that there is no permanent deformation between the balls we can say that it is an elastic collision</h3><h3>And for an elastic collision, coefficient of restitution = 1</h3>

∴ relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation

-2 =  v_{2} - u → equation 2

By adding both equations 1 and 2 we get

v_{2} = 0

∴ u = 2 m/s along positive y axis

Kinetic energy before collision and after collision remains constant because it is an elastic collision

Kinetic energy = (m×2² + m×3·7²)÷2

                         = 8·85×m J

Total momentum = m×√(2² + 3·7²)

                             = m× 4·21 kgm/s

If a 1000-pound capsule weighs only 165 pounds on the moon, how much work is done in propelling this capsule out of the moon's g
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

178200 g mile pounds

Explanation:

Work= Force * Distance= Fh

F=ma=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Work= 165 pounds *g* 1080 m=  178200 g mile pounds

A student lifts a set of books off a table and places them in the upper shelf of a book case which is 2 meters above the table.
AfilCa [17]
The work done is the product between the intensity of the force applied F, the amount of the displacement d of the book and the cosine of the angle \theta between the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement:
W=Fd \cos \theta
In our problem, the student is lifting the book, so he is applying a force directed upward, and the book is moving upward, so F and d are parallel and therefore the angle is zero, so \cos \theta = \cos 0=1
Therefore, the work done is
W=Fd=(5 N)(2 m)=10 J
