Answer:

m1/m2 = 0.51

Explanation:

First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:

V = √F/u

This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.

the value of "u" is:

u = m/L

Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.

Now, for the rod 1:

V1 = √F/u1 (1)

rod 2:

V2 = √F/u2 (2)

Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:

1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)

Replacing (2) in (3):

1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)

Now, let's solve the equation 4:

[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1

1.96(F/u2) =F/u1

1.96F = F*u2/u1

1.96 = u2/u1 (5)

Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:

1.96 = m2/L / m1/L

1.96 = m2/m1 (6)

But we need m1/m2 so:

1.96m1 = m2

m1/m2 = 1/1.96

m1/m2 = 0.51

A long thin uniform rod of length 1.50 m is to be suspended from a frictionless pivot located at some point along the rod so tha
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.087 m

Explanation:

Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m

Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.

time period, T = 3  s

the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}}    .... (1)

where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12

By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is

I = Ic + md²

I = \frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}

Substituting the values in equation (1)

3 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}}{mgd}}

9=4\pi^{2}\times \left ( \frac{\frac{L^{2}}{12}+d^{2}}{gd} \right )

12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 =  0

d=\frac{26.84\pm \sqrt{26.84^{2}-4\times 12\times 2.25}}{24}

d=\frac{26.84\pm 24.75}{24}

d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m

d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.

Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.

A 4500-kg spaceship is in a circular orbit 190 km above the surface of Earth. It needs to be moved into a higher circular orbit
Maslowich

Answer:

Explanation:

Total energy of a satellite in an orbit , h height away

= -  GMm /2 ( R + h )

When h = 380 km

Total energy of a satellite = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}\times 4500}{2\times(6378+380)\times10^3}

=  - 13.25 x 10¹⁰ J

When h = 190 km

Total energy of a satellite =

\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}\times 4500}{2\times(6378+190)\times10^3}

=   - 13.63 x 10¹⁰ J

Diff

= 38 x 10⁸ J Energy will be required.

A very long, straight wire has charge per unit length 3.50×10^−10 C/m . At what distance from the wire is the electricfield magn
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

r= 2.17 m

Explanation:

Conceptual Analysis:

The electric field at a distance r from a charge line of infinite length and constant charge per unit length is calculated as follows:

E= 2k*(λ/r) Formula (1)

Where:

E: electric field .( N/C)

k: Coulomb electric constant. (N*m²/C²)

λ: linear charge density. (C/m)

r : distance from the charge line to the surface where E calculates (m)

Known data

E= 2.9  N/C

λ = 3.5*10⁻¹⁰ C/m

k= 8.99 *10⁹ N*m²/C²

Problem development

We replace data in the formula (1):

E= 2*k*(λ/r)

2.9= 2*8.99 *10⁹*(3.5*10⁻¹⁰/r)

r =( 2*8.99 *10⁹*3.5*10⁻¹⁰) / (2.9)

r= 2.17 m

Two roads intersect at right angles, one going north-south, the other east-west. an observer stands on the road 60 meters south
Sloan [31]

observer is standing at distance d = 60 m south from the intersection

cyclist is travelling at speed v = 10 m/s

now after t = 8 s its displacement from intersection is given by

x = 10*8 = 80 m

so the position of cyclist makes an angle with the observer

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{80}{60} = 53 degree

now the component of velocity of cyclist along the line joining its position with the observer is given as

v = v_o cos\phi

here

\phi = 90 -\theta

\phi = 90 - 53 = 37 degree

v = 10 cos37 = 8 m/s

so at this instant cyclist is moving away with speed 8 m/s

four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time , yet there is no net force on the toy.how is this possible?
Kay [80]
There was no net force on the stuffed toy, because the kids might have the same strength,  The same force is on both sides of it.  T<span>hey cancel each other out. They exert a force on the stuffed toy equal in strength but opposite in direction. The forces are balanced and the stuffed toy does not move.  </span>Its like a game of tug-o-war, but you and I have the same strength. the rope would be still and not moving.
