Answer

Gravitational force

Explanation

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two bodies of a given masses. It is calculated as follows:

Gravitational force = GM₁M₂/r²

From the formula it can be seen that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the r where are is the distance between the two bodies.

When the distance increases the gravitational force decreases.

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/

Elena-2011 [213]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

$KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0$

$\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2$

So by solving above equation we will have

$v_f = 84.3 m/s$

now in order to find the momentum we can use

$P = mv$

$P = 1.25 \times 84.3$

$P = 105.4 kg m/s$

Consider a boat heading due east at 15 miles/hour. The water's current is moving at 7.1 miles/hour at 45º south of east. Drag ve

givi [52]

If a boat is going East at 15mph and there is a water current going southeast at 45° then the boat is being drifted southward. So since the current is going at an angle then it has a x and y component. So Rx refers to the x-component force of the current and Ry refers to the y-component of the current, and |R| refers to the magnitude of these forces.

Find an expression for the torsional constant k in terms of the moment of inertia I of the disk and the angular frequency ω of s

sasho [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

The general equation for the disk with moment of inertia I when given small angular displacement $\theta$ is given by

$I\frac{\mathrm{d^2} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t^2}=-k\theta$

$\frac{\mathrm{d^2} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t^2}+\frac{k\theta }{I}=0$

Replacing

$\frac{k\theta }{I}=\omega ^2$

where $\omega$ is the angular frequency of oscillation

General solution for this Equation is given by

$\theta =\theta _{max}\sin \left ( \omega t+\phi \right )$

where $\theta _{max}=maximum\ angular\ displacement$

$\phi =Phase\ difference$

Thus K can be written as

$k=I\omega ^2$

Small blocks, each with mass m, are clamped at the ends and at the center of a rod of length L and negligible mass. Compute the

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

a) Two balls are at a distance of L/2 from the axis of rotation and one block at the center. ( center of rod).

therefore,

$I=2\times m\frac{L}{2}^2$

$I= \frac{1}{2}mL^2$

b) two balls at a distance L/4 at the from the axis and 1 ball at a distance 3L/4 from the from the axis.

$I= 2\times m\times(L/4)^2 + m(\frac{3L}{4})^2$

= $\frac{1}{16} mL^2(2+9)= \frac{11}{16}mL^2$

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

A free-falling object refers to an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. If the object is dropped from a certain height h, it moves downwards until it reaches ground level.

The speed vf of the object when a time t has passed is given by:

$v_f=g\cdot t$
