Answer:

29.4 N/m

0.1

Explanation:

a) From the restoring Force we know that :

F_r = —k*x

the gravitational force :

F_g=mg

Where:

F_r is the restoring force .

F_g is the gravitational force

g is the acceleration of gravity

k is the constant force

xi , x2 are the displacement made by the two masses.

Givens:

<em>m1 = 1.29 kg</em>

<em>m2 = 0.3 kg </em>

<em>x1 = -0.75 m </em>

<em>x2 = -0.2 m </em>

<em>g = 9.8 m/s^2 </em>

Plugging known information to get :

F_r =F_g

-k*x1 + k*x2=m1*g-m2*g

k=29.4 N/m

b) To get the unloaded length 1:

l=x1-(F_1/k)

Givens:

m1 = 1.95kg , x1 = —0.75m

Plugging known infromation to get :

l= x1 — (F_1/k)

= 0.1

A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The

qaws [65]

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

For flowing water, what is the magnitude of the velocity gradient needed to produce a shear stress of 1.0 n/m2 ?

Verizon [17]

Shear stress = 1.0 N/m² (Pa)

For water, the dynamic viscosity = 10⁻³ Pa-s at 20°C.
The velocity gradient required = (Shear stress)/(Dynamic viscosity)
= (1.0 Pa)/( 10⁻³ Pa-s)
= 10³ 1/s

Answer: 10³ s⁻¹

Two objects have masses m and 5m, respectively. They both are placed side by side on a frictionless inclined plane and allowed t

poizon [28]

Answer:

(E) The two objects reach the bottom of the incline at the same time.

Explanation:

Given;

first object with mass, m

second object with mass, 5m

The acceleration of gravity for both object is the same = 9.8 m/s²

Since both objects have the same acceleration of gravity, and no external force due friction (frictionless inclined plane), they will reach bottom of the inclined at the time.

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects regardless of their masses.

Therefore, the correct option is E;

(E) The two objects reach the bottom of the incline at the same time.

 A bartender slides a beer mug at 1.50 m/s toward a customer at the end of a frictionless bar that is 1.20 m tall. The customer

Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) the mug hits the floor 0.7425m away from the end of the bar. b) |V|=5.08m/s θ= -72.82°

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first start by doing a drawing of the situation. (see attached picture).

a)

From the drawing we can see that we are dealing with a two dimensions movement problem. So in order to find out how far away from the bar the mug will fall, we need to start by finding how long it will take the mug to be in the air, so we analyze the vertical movement of the mug.

In order to find the time we need to use the following formula, which contains the data we know:

$y_{f}=y_{0}+v_{y0}t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

we know that $y_{f}=0$ and that $v_{y0}=0$ as well, so the formula is simplified to:

$0=y_{0}+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

we can now solve this for t, so we get:

$-y_{0}=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$-2y_{0}=at^{2}$

$\frac{-2y_{0}}{a}=t^{2}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{0}}{a}}$

we know that $y_{0}=1.20m$ and that $a=g=-9.8m/s^{2}$

the acceleration of gravity is negative because the mug is moving downwards. So we substitute them into the given formula:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2(1.20m)}{(-9.8m/s^{2})}}$

which yields:

t=0.495s

we can now use this to find the horizontal distance the mug travels. We know that:

$V_{x}=\frac{x}{t}$

so we can solve this for x, so we get:

$x=V_{x}t$

and we can now substitute the values we know:

x=(1.5m/s)(0.495s)

which yields:

x=0.7425m

b) Now that we know the time it takes the mug to hit the floor, we can use it to find the final velocity in the y-direction by using the following formula:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{0}}{t}$

we know the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero, so we can simplify the formula:

$a=\frac{v_{f}}{t}$

so we can solve this for the final velocity:

$V_{yf}=at$

in this case the acceleration is the same as the acceleration of gravity (which is negative) so we can substitute that and the time we found on the previous part to get:

$V_{yf}=(-9.8m/s^{2})(0.495s)$

which yields:

$V_{yf}=-4.851m/s$

so now we know the components of the final velocity, which are:

$V_{xf}=1.5m/s$ and $V_{yf]=-4.851m/s$

so now we can find the speed by determining the magnitude of the vector, like this:

$|V|=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2}+V_{y}^{2}}$

so we get:

$|V|=\sqrt{(1.5m/s)^{2}+(-4.851m/s)^{2}$

which yields:

|V|=5.08m/s

now, to find the direction of the impact, we can use the following equation:

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}})$

so we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{-4.851m/s}{(1.5m/s)})$

which yields:

$\theta = -72.82^{o}$
