A uniform metal bar is 5.00 m long and has mass 0.300 kg. The bar is pivoted on a narrow support that is 2.00 m from the left-ha

nd end of the bar. What distance x from the left-hand end of the bar should an object with mass 0.900 kg be suspended so the bar is balanced in a horizontal position?

Explanation and answer:

This type of question can be clarified and sometimes solved by drawing a proper diagram or sketch. (see below)

Solution:

Since we do not know the reaction of the support, we can take moments about the support (thereby eliminating its involvement).

CCW moment = 0.900(5.00/2 - x) kg-m

CW moment = 0.300*(5.00/2-2.00)) = 0.150 kg-m

At equilibrium, CCW moment = CW moment, so

0.900(2.50-x) = 0.150

Expand and solve

2.25 - 0.900x = 0.150

0.900x = 2.25-0.15 = 2.10

x = 2.10 / 0.900 = 2.33 m (to nearest cm)

Explanation:

We need to make a couple of considerations but basically the problem is solved through the conservation of energy.

I attached a diagram for the two surfaces and begin to make the necessary considerations.

Rough Surface,

We know that force is equal to,

$F_r = mgsin\theta$

$F_r = \mu N$

$F_r = \mu mg cos\theta$

Matching the two equation we have,

$\mu N = \mu mg cos\theta$

$\mu = tan\theta$

Applying energy conservation,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2_0+\frac{1}{2}I_w^2 = F_r*d+mgh_1$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2_0+\frac{2}{5}mR^2\frac{V_0^2}{R^2} = F_r*d+mgh_1$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2_0+\frac{mv_0^2}{5} = mgsin\theta \frac{h_1sin\theta}+mgh_1$

$\frac{v_0^2}{2}+\frac{v_0^2}{5} = gh_1+gh_1$

$h_1 = \frac{1}{2g}(\frac{v_0^2}{2}+\frac{v_0^2}{5})$

Frictionless surface

$\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = mgh_2$

$\frac{1}{2}m_v^2+\frac{1}{2}\frac{2}{5}mR^2\frac{v_0^2}{R^2} =mgh_2$

$\frac{v_0^2}{2}+\frac{v_0^2}{5} = gh_2$

$h_2 = \frac{1}{g}(\frac{V_0^2}{2}+\frac{v_0^2}{5})$

Given the description we apply energy conservation taking into account the inertia of a sphere. Then the relation between $h_1$ and $h_2$ is given by

$\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{\frac{1}{2g}(\frac{v_0^2}{2}+\frac{v_0^2}{5})}{\frac{1}{g}(\frac{V_0^2}{2}+\frac{v_0^2}{5})}$

$\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{1}{2}$

A pendulum of 50 cm long consists of small ball of 2kg starts swinging down from height of 45cm at rest. the ball swings down an

Ket [755]

Assuming that all energy of the small ball is transferred to the bigger ball upon impact, then we can say that:

Potential Energy of the small ball = Kinetic Energy of the bigger ball

Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height

Since the small ball start at 45 cm, then the height covered during the swinging movement is only:

height = 50 cm – 45 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Calculating for Potential Energy, PE:

PE = 2 kg * 9.8 m / s^2 * 0.05 m = 0.98 J

Therefore, maximum kinetic energy of the bigger ball is:

<span>Max KE = PE = 0.98 J</span>

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: SG = 2.67

Specific gravity of the sand is 2.67

Explanation:

Specific gravity = density of material/density of water

Given;

Mass of sand m = 100g

Volume of sand = volume of water displaced

Vs = 537.5cm^3 - 500 cm^3

Vs = 37.5cm^3

Density of sand = m/Vs = 100g/37.5 cm^3

Ds = 2.67g/cm^3

Density of water Dw = 1.00 g/cm^3

Therefore, the specific gravity of sand is

SG = Ds/Dw

SG = (2.67g/cm^3)/(1.00g/cm^3)

SG = 2.67

Specific gravity of the sand is 2.67

Answer:

$r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm$

Explanation:

given data

Radius of sphere 3.0 cm

charge Q = 2.0 m C

We know that maximum electric field is given as

$E_{MAX}= \frac{KQ}{r^{2}}$

electric field inside the sphere can be determine by using below relation

$\frac{KQ}{r^{2}}= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{KQ}{R^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt{2}R$

$r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm$

Answer:

They two waves has the same amplitude and frequency but different wavelengths.

Explanation: comparing the wave equation above with the general wave equation
