A barbellbell is loaded with two 20 kg plates on its right side and two 20kg plates on its left side. The barbell is 2.2m long,

and its unloaded mass is 20kg. The two 20kg plates on the right side are locked in place at 35cm and 40cm from the right end of the bar. The two 20kg plates on the left side have slipped one iss 30 cm from the left end of the bar and the other is 20 cm from the left end of th bar. where is the center of gravity of this bar?

Answer:

<h2>Center of gravity of the system of all masses is 105 cm from the left end of the rod</h2>

Explanation:

Let the position of Left end of the rod is our reference

So here we will have

$m_1 = 20 kg$

$x_1 = 20 cm$

$m_2 = 20 kg$

$x_2 = 30 cm$

$m_3 = 20 kg$

$x_3 = 110 cm$

$m_4 = 20 kg$

$x_4 = (220 - 40) = 180 cm$

$m_5 = 20 kg$

$x_5 = (220 - 35) = 185 cm$

so we will have

$x_{cm} = \frac{m_1x_1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3 + m_4x_4 + m_5x_5}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4 + m_5}$

$x_{cm} = \frac{20(20 + 30 + 110 + 180 + 185)}{20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20}$

$x_{cm} = 105 cm$

Viktor [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravity according to the Newtonian definitions. From finding this value we will use the linear motion kinematic equations to find the time. Our values are

Comet mass $M = 1.0*10^{13} kg$

Radius $r = 1.6km = 1600 m$

Rock was dropped from a height 'h' from surface = 1m

The relation for acceleration due to gravity of a body of mass 'm' with radius 'r' is

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

Where G means gravitational universal constant and M the mass of the planet

$g = \frac{(6.67408*10^{-11})(1*10^{13})}{1600^2}$

$g = 2.607*10^{-4} m/s^2$

Now calculate the value of the time

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2(1)}{2.607*10^{-4}}}$

$t = 87.58s$

The time taken for the rock to reach the surface is t = 87.58s

The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.30 inches and a standard deviatio

enot [183]

Answer:

2.25 %

Explanation:

65-95-99.7 is a rule to remember the precentages that lies around the mean.

at the range of mean ( $\mu$ ) plus or minus one standard deviation ( $\sigma$ ), $P([\mu-\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+\sigma])\approx 68.3%$

at the range of mean plus or minus two standard deviation, $P([\mu -2\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+2\sigma])\approx 95.5%$

at the range of mean plus or minus three standard deviation, $P([\mu - 3\sigma\leq X \leq \mu+3\sigma])\approx 99.7%$

So, note that they are asking about the probability that it is greater than 0.32, that is the mean (0.3) plus two times the standard deviation (0.1) ( $P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma)$ )

So we know that the 95.5% is between $\mu - 2\sigma = 0.3 -2*0.1 = 0.28$ and $\mu + 2\sigma = 0.3 +2*0.1 = 0.32$ , hence approximately the 4.5% (100%-95.5%) is greater than 0.32 or less than 0.28. But half (4.5%/2=2.25%) is greater than 0.32 and the other half is less than 0.28.

So $P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma) \approx 2.25%$

If the 5-N force and the 12-N force form a 90 degree angle, what is the magnitude of the force acting in the direction of the da

Leni [432]

Answer:

<h2>13N</h2>

Explanation:

<em>Kindly see attached file for your reference</em>

Step one:

given data

the horizontal component of the force= 12N

the vertical component of the force= 5N

The dashed arrow represents the hypotenuse of the triangle, hence the resultant of the force system.

By implication of this, we will use the Pythagoras theorem to solve for the resultant force

Step two:

$F_R=\sqrt{F_H^2+F_V^2}\\\\F_R= \sqrt{12^2+5^2}\\\\F_R=\sqrt{144+25}\\\\F_R=\sqrt{169}\\\\F_R=13N$

While ice skating, you unintentionally crash into a person. Your mass is 60 kg, and you are traveling east at 8.0 m/s with respe

kaheart [24]

Answer:

6.18 m/s

Explanation:

Roller skate collision

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

$P_{Miy}$ + $p_{Piy}$ + $j_{y}$ = $P_{Mfy}$ + $P_{pfy}$

$m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sin$ Ф

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}sin$ Ф

480 = 140 $V_{f} sin$ Ф................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

$P_{Mix}$ + $p_{Pix}$ + $j_{x}$ = $P_{Mfx}$ + $P_{pfx}$

$m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cos$ Ф

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}cos$ Ф

720= 140 $V_{f}cos$ Ф

140Vf= $\frac{720}{cos}$ Ф......................................(2)

Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

Which of the following characteristics of Earth's relationship to the Sun explains the existence of Earth's seasons? Choose all

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane.

Earth orbits around the Sun, completing one orbit each year

Explanation:

The earth tilt at an angle causes the sun rays to hit the earth surface around the globe differently. Due to the oblique angle that the rays hit the subtropics and poles, there is less heat intensity compared to the equator where the sun rays hit the earth's surface at a more or less right angle.

The earth rotation around the sun also causes seasons coupled with the earth’s tilts. As the earth rotates, in one point in the orbit, the northern or southern hemispheres will be tilted towards the sun. The phenomenon varies the local temperatures of particular regions of the earth hence driving seasonal climatic changes.
