<span>Answer: Fn is the force acting on the nut and d is the distance of the nut from the pivot. F is the applied force at one end and D is the distance of the end from the pivot. F.D = Fn*d</span>

A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W
7nadin3 [17]
For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>

A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 0.745 ra
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So the acceleration of the child will be 8.05m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given angular speed of the child \omega =1.25rad/sec

Radius r = 4.65 m

Angular acceleration \alpha =0.745rad/sec^2

We know that linear velocity is given by v=\omega r=1.25\times 4.65=5.815m/sec

We know that radial acceleration is given by a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{5.815^2}{4.65}=7.2718m/sec^2

Tangential acceleration is given by

a_t=\alpha r=0.745\times 4.65=3.464m/sec^

So total acceleration will be a=\sqrt{7.2718^2+3.464^2}=8.05m/sec^2

Suppose you are measuring the height of a small child. What will determine the number if significant digits you record?
slega [8]

The number of significant digits of any measurement is determined by the instrument used for such measurement. For example, in this case, we have the height of a small child being measured. We can use a simple ruler for this, and we see that a ruler has ten divisions for 1 cm. This means that the ruler cannot measure beyond the size of 0.1 cm or 1 mm. Hence, when we report the height of the small child, we report it to one significant digit after the decimal place. As an example, if we measure a child's height to be 90 full cm divisions and 8 smaller divisions, we report it as 90.8 cm but not 90.83 or 90.86 cm.

A 3.00-kg model airplane has velocity components of 5.00 m/s due east and 8.00 m/s due north. What is the plane’s kinetic energy
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Kinetic energy, E = 133.38 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the model airplane, m = 3 kg

Velocity component, v₁ = 5 m/s (due east)

Velocity component, v₂ = 8 m/s (due north)

Let v is the resultant of velocity. It is given by :

v=\sqrt{v_1^2+v_2^2}

v=\sqrt{5^2+8^2}=9.43\ m/s

Let E is the kinetic energy of the plane. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (9.43\ m/s)^2

E = 133.38 Joules

So, the kinetic energy of the plane is 133.38 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Use the formula a=h/n to find the batting average a of a batter who has h hits in n times at bat. Solve the formula for h. if a
Inessa [10]
A = h / n => h = a*n

a = 0.290 hit / time
n = 300 times

=> h = 0.290 hit / time * 300 time = 87 hits

Answer: 87 hits
