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

beam balances when a fulcrum is placed below the beam a distance 1.10 m from the 30.0-kg child. How long is the beam?

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

A cliff diver on an alien planet dives off of a 32 meter tall cliff and lands in a sea of hydrochloric acid 1.20 seconds later.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

44.4m/s^2

Explanation:

Use the formula...S = ut + 1/2at^2

where...S = 32m...u = 0m/s....t = 1.20s

32 = (0)(1.20) + 0.5(1.20^2)a

;Acceleration of free fall = 44.4m/s^2

A balloon tied up with a wooden piece is moving upward with velocity of 15m/s. At a height of 300m above the ground, the wooden
Inessa05 [86]
Assume the wooden piece prevents the balloon from rising, is not so heavy as to cause the balloon to descend. and the 15 m/s is horizontal velocity “riding the wind,” That horizontal velocity does not affect the time the wood will take to reach the ground after release. Initial vertical velocity is zero.

s = u t + 1/2 g t^2

s is the height above ground, 300 m.

u is initial vertical velocity, zero.

t is time to reach the ground.

g is acceleration of gravity near Earth, 9.8 m/s^2.

300 m = 0 t + 1/2 (9.8 m/s^2) t^2

300 m = (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

61.22 s^2 = t^2

7.82 seconds = t

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
babunello [35]

Answer:

Separation increases at all times that rock X falls because it falls with a greater speed

Explanation:

For both rocks, let initial velocity ∪=0

To find the displacement at any given time interval of Δt then

S= ∪Δt +0.5gΔt²

Since rock X is first released followed by Y, then X has a greater speed than Y therefore the distance covered by X is longer. This is because despite 0.5gΔt² being same for both rocks at any time Δt but rock X having already attained some velocity, its ∪Δt  is more hence the separation S increases. Conclusively, S increases at all times that rock X falls since rock X falls with a greater velocity than rock Y

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) Rm = 268.4 m

(b) f = 6

Explanation:

The horizontal range of a projectile is given by the following formula:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

(a)

For moon:

R = Range on moon = Rm

V₀ = Launch Speed = 28 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 17°

g = acceleration due to gravity on moon = (9.8 m/s²)/6 = 1.63 m/s²

Therefore,

Rm = (28 m/s)²Sin (2*17°)/(1.63 m/s²)

<u>Rm = 268.4 m</u>

(b)

For Earth:

R = Range on Earth = Re

V₀ = Launch Speed = 28 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 17°

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Re = (28 m/s)²Sin (2*17°)/(9.8 m/s²)

Re = 44.7 m

Therefore.

f = Rm/Re = 268.4 m/44.7 m

<u>f = 6</u>

4 A wheel starts from rest and has an angular acceleration of 4.0 rad/s2. When it has made 10 rev determine its angular velocity
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

w_f= 22.41rad/s

Explanation:

First, we know that:

a = 4 rad/s^2

S = 10 rev = 62.83 rad

Now we know that:

w_f^2-w_i^2=2aS

where w_f is the final angular velocity, w_i the initial angular velocity, a is the angular aceleration and S the radians.

Replacing, we get:

w_f^2-(0)^2=2(4)(62.83)

Finally, solving for w_f:

w_f= 22.41rad/s
