Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)

80=5(50-x)

80=250-5x

5x=170

x=\frac{170}{5}

x=34 cm

An unspecified force causes a 0.20-kg object to accelerate at 0.40 m/s2. If 0.30 kg is added to the 0.20-kg object and the force
Naddik [55]

Answer:

a = 0.16

Explanation:

given,

mass of the object 1 = 0.2 kg

mass of the object 2 = 0.3 kg

acceleration when force is on 0.2 kg = 0.4 m/s²

acceleration when both mass are combine = ?

F = m a

F = 0.2 × 0.4

F = 0.08 N

force acting is same and total mass  = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5 Kg

F = m a

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{0.08}{0.5}

a = 0.16 m/s²

the acceleration  acting when both the body is attached is a = 0.16

A 70 kg student jumps down to form a 1 m high platform. She forgets to bend her knees and her downward motion stops in 0.02 seco
34kurt

Answer:

15,505 N

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy loss of the student equals the kinetic energy gain of the student

-ΔU = ΔK

-(U₂ - U₁) = K₂ - K₁ where U₁ = initial potential energy = mgh , U₂ = final potential energy = 0, K₁ = initial kinetic energy = 0 and K₂ = final kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

-(0 - mgh) = 1/2mv² - 0

mgh = 1/2mv² where m = mass of student = 70kg, h = height of platform  = 1 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and v = final velocity of student as he hits the ground.

mgh = 1/2mv²

gh = 1/2v²

v² = 2gh

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2 × 9.8 m/s² × 1 m)

v = √(19.6 m²/s²)

v = 4.43 m/s

Upon impact on the ground and stopping, impulse I = Ft = m(v' - v) where F = force, t = time = 0.02 s, m =mass of student = 70 kg, v = initial velocity on impact = 4.43 m/s and v'= final velocity at stopping = 0 m/s

So Ft = m(v' - v)

F = m(v' - v)/t

substituting the values of the variables, we have

F = 70 kg(0 m/s - 4.43 m/s)/0.02 s

= 70 kg(- 4.43 m/s)/0.02 s

= -310.1 kgm/s ÷ 0.02 s

= -15,505 N

So, the force transmitted to her bones is 15,505 N
