John and Tau take their toys down to a nearby pond to play. John has a toy boat made from wood. He places the wooden boat on the pond and it floats. Tau, being a cheeky little boy, wants to make John’s wooden boat sink. So he attaches a piece of lead on one end of the string, and ties the other loose end onto John’s boat and gently places the lead into the water. Determine the smallest amount of lead (mass) that will be enough to sink John’s boat, assuming the specific gravity of wood is 0.5 and the density of the pond water is equal to the density of pure water

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The smallest amount of lead that needs to be attached to John's boat in order to sink it has to have a mass slightly greater than the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

A body floats in a fluid when its density is less than the density of the fluid.

The body sinks when its density is more than the density of the fluid.

Density of the pond = density of pure water = 1 g/cm³

Specific gravity of an object = (density of object)/(density of water)

0.5 = (density of John's boat)/1

Density of the John's boat = 0.5 g/cm³

And density is given as

Density = (mass/volume)

0.5 = (mass of John's boat)/(volume of John's boat)

Let the volume of John's boat be v and the mass of John's boat be m

0.5 = (m/v)

v = (m/0.5) = 2m

To sink the boat, we need the total mass on the boat to increase the density to a value greater than 1.

Let the minimum mass of lead required for this to be M

The volume of the boat remains the same, but the total mass on the boat is now (m+M)

1 < (m + M)/v

M + m > v

Recall, v = 2m

M + m > 2m

M > 2m - m

M > m

Hence, the smallest amount of lead that needs to be attached to John's boat in order to sink it has to have a mass slightly greater than the mass of the boat.

Hope this Helps!!!!

There is a lever with 5 m long. The fulcrum is 2 m from the right end. Each end hangs a box. The whole system is in balance. If the box hung to the right end is 12 kg, then what is the mass of the box hung to the left end?

Answers

Answer:

8kg

Explanation:

For the box to be in equilibrium. The clockwise moment ensued by the box on the right should be same as that ensued by the one on the right. Hence :

M ×3 = 12 ×2

M = 24/3 = 8kg

Note mass is used because trying to compute the weight by multiplying by the acceleration of free fall due to gravity on both sides will cancel out.

An aluminium bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm, has a hole drilled in the center of the bar. The hole is 30mm in diameter and is 100mm long. If the modulus of elasticity for the aluminium is 85GN/m2, calculate the total contraction on the bar due to a compressive load of 180kN.​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\delta = 0.385\,m[/tex] (Compression)

Explanation:

The aluminium bar is experimenting a compression due to an axial force, that is, a force exerted on the bar in its axial direction. (See attachment for further details) Under the assumption of small strain, the deformation experimented by the bar is equal to:

[tex]\delta = \frac{P\cdot L}{A \cdot E}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]P[/tex] - Load experimented by the bar, measured in newtons.

[tex]L[/tex] - Length of the bar, measured in meters.

[tex]A[/tex] - Cross section area of the bar, measured in square meters.

[tex]E[/tex] - Elasticity module, also known as Young's Module, measured in pascals, that is, newtons per square meter.

The cross section area of the bar is now computed: ([tex]D_{o} = 0.04\,m[/tex], [tex]D_{i} = 0.03\,m[/tex])

[tex]A = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (D_{o}^{2}-D_{i}^{2})[/tex]

Where:

[tex]D_{o}[/tex] - Outer diameter, measured in meters.

[tex]D_{i}[/tex] - Inner diameter, measured in meters.

[tex]A = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot [(0.04\,m)^{2}-(0.03\,m)^{2}][/tex]

[tex]A = 5.498 \times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}[/tex]

The total contraction of the bar due to compresive load is: ([tex]P = -180\times 10^{3}\,N[/tex], [tex]L = 0.1\,m[/tex], [tex]E = 85\times 10^{9}\,Pa[/tex], [tex]A = 5.498 \times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}[/tex]) (Note: The negative sign in the load input means the existence of compressive load)

[tex]\delta = \frac{(-180\times 10^{3}\,N)\cdot (0.1\,m)}{(5.498\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2})\cdot (85\times 10^{9}\,Pa)}[/tex]

[tex]\delta = -3.852\times 10^{-4}\,m[/tex]

[tex]\delta = -0.385\,mm[/tex]

[tex]\delta = 0.385\,m[/tex] (Compression)

If the mass of the ladder is 12.0 kgkg, the mass of the painter is 55.0 kgkg, and the ladder begins to slip at its base when her feet are 70% of the way up the length of the ladder, what is the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor

Answers

Answer:

 μ = 0.336

Explanation:

We will work on this exercise with the expressions of transactional and rotational equilibrium.

Let's start with rotational balance, for this we set a reference system at the top of the ladder, where it touches the wall and we will assign as positive the anti-clockwise direction of rotation

          fr L sin θ - W L / 2 cos θ - W_painter 0.3 L cos θ  = 0

          fr sin θ  - cos θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter) = 0

          fr = cotan θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter)

Now let's write the equilibrium translation equation

     

X axis

        F1 - fr = 0

        F1 = fr

the friction force has the expression

       fr = μ N

Y Axis

       N - W - W_painter = 0

       N = W + W_painter

       

we substitute

      fr = μ (W + W_painter)

we substitute in the endowment equilibrium equation

     μ (W + W_painter) = cotan θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter)

      μ = cotan θ (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter) / (W + W_painter)

we substitute the values ​​they give

      μ = cotan θ  (12/2 + 0.3 55) / (12 + 55)

      μ = cotan θ  (22.5 / 67)

      μ = cotan tea (0.336)

To finish the problem, we must indicate the angle of the staircase or catcher data to find the angle, if we assume that the angle is tea = 45

       cotan 45 = 1 / tan 45 = 1

the result is

    μ = 0.336

A 60-kg skier is stationary at the top of a hill. She then pushes off and heads down the hill with an initial speed of 4.0 m/s. Air resistance and the friction between the skis and the snow are both negligible. How fast will she be moving after she is at the bottom of the hill, which is 10 m in elevation lower than the hilltop

Answers

Answer:

The velocity is  [tex]v = 8.85 m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the skier is [tex]m_s = 60 \ kg[/tex]

      The initial speed is [tex]u = 4.0 \ m/s[/tex]

       The height is  [tex]h = 10 \ m[/tex]

According to the law of energy conservation

     [tex]PE_t + KE_t = KE_b + PE_b[/tex]

Where [tex]PE_t[/tex] is the potential energy at the top which is mathematically evaluated as

       [tex]PE_t = mg h[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]PE_t = 60 * 4*9.8[/tex]

      [tex]PE_t = 2352 \ J[/tex]

And  [tex]KE_t[/tex] is the kinetic energy at the top which equal to zero due to the fact that velocity is zero at the top of the hill

And  [tex]KE_b[/tex] is the kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill which is mathematically represented as

         [tex]KE_b = 0.5 * m * v^2[/tex]

  substituting  values

         [tex]KE_b = 0.5 * 60 * v^2[/tex]

=>     [tex]KE_b = 30 v^2[/tex]

Where v is the velocity at the bottom

   And [tex]PE_b[/tex] is the potential  energy at the bottom which equal to zero due to the fact that height  is zero at the bottom of the hill

So  

        [tex]30 v^2 = 2352[/tex]

=>      [tex]v^2 = \frac{2352}{30}[/tex]

=>       [tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{2352}{30}}[/tex]

        [tex]v = 8.85 m/s[/tex]

         

Answer:

The Skier's velocity at the bottom of the hill will be 18m/s

Explanation:

This is simply the case of energy conversion between potential and kinetic energy. Her potential energy at the top of the hill gets converted to the kinetic energy she experiences at the bottom.

That is

[tex]mgh = 0.5 mv^{2}[/tex]

solving for velocity, we will have

[tex]v= \sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

hence her velocity will be

[tex]v=\sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 10}=14.00m/s[/tex]

This is the velocity she gains from the slope.

Recall that she already has an initial velocity of 4m/s. It is important to note that since velocities are vector quantities, they can easily be added algebraically. Hence, her velocity at the bottom of the hill is 4 + 14 = 18m/s

The Skier's velocity at the bottom of the hill will be 18m/s

A body moves due north with velocity 40 m/s. A force is applied

on it and the body continues to move due north with velocity 35 m/s. W. .What is the direction of rate of change of momentum,if it takes

some time for that change and what is the direction of applied

external force?​

Answers

Answer:

the direction of rate of change of the momentum is against the motion of the body, that is, downward.

The applied force is also against the direction of motion of the body, downward.

Explanation:

The change in the momentum of a body, if the mass of the body is constant, is given by the following formula:

[tex]\Delta p=\Delta (mv)\\\\\Delta p=m\Delta v[/tex]

p: momentum

m: mass

[tex]\Delta v[/tex]:  change in the velocity

The sign of the change in the velocity determines the direction of rate of change. Then you have:

[tex]\Delta v=v_2-v_1[/tex]

v2: final velocity = 35m/s

v1: initial velocity = 40m/s

[tex]\Delta v =35m/s-40m/s=-5m/s[/tex]

Hence, the direction of rate of change of the momentum is against the motion of the body, that is, downward.

The applied force is also against the direction of motion of the body, downward.

Two forces are acting on an object as shown in Fig. on the right. What is the magnitude of the resultant force?
A) 47.5 N
B) 185 N
C) 198 N
D) 200 N

Answers

Answer:

185 N

Explanation:

Sum of forces in the x direction:

Fₓ = -(80 N cos 75°) + (120 N cos 60°)

Fₓ = 39.3 N

Sum of forces in the y direction:

Fᵧ = (80 N sin 75°) + (120 N sin 60°)

Fᵧ = 181.2 N

The magnitude of the net force is:

F = √(Fₓ² + Fᵧ²)

F = √((39.3 N)² + (181.2 N)²)

F = 185 N

We have that for the Question "Two forces are acting on an object as shown in Fig. on the right. What is the magnitude of the resultant force?" it can be said that  the magnitude of the resultant force is

R=200N

From the question we are told

Answer:

Assuming that the vertical speed of the ball is 14 m/s we found the given values:

a) V₀ = 23.4 m/s

b) h = 27.9 m

c) t = 0.96 s

d) t = 4.8 s

 

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the vertical speed is 14 m/s (founded in the book) the initial speed of the ball can be calculated as follows:  

[tex] V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} - 2gh [/tex]

Where:

[tex]V_{f}[/tex]: is the final speed = 14 m/s

[tex]V_{0}[/tex]: is the initial speed =?

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 18 m

[tex] V_{0} = \sqrt{V_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{(14 m/s)^{2} + 2*9.81 m/s^{2}*18 m} = 23.4 m/s [/tex]  

b) The maximum height is:

[tex] V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} - 2gh [/tex]

[tex] h = \frac{V_{0}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(23. 4 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 27.9 m [/tex]

c) The time can be found using the following equation:

[tex] V_{f} = V_{0} - gt [/tex]

[tex] t = \frac{V_{0} - V_{f}}{g} = \frac{23.4 m/s - 14 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.96 s [/tex]

d) The flight time is given by:

[tex] t_{v} = \frac{2V_{0}}{g} = \frac{2*23.4 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 4.8 s [/tex]

Answer:

I believe the answer is 254.8 J, or rounded 255 J.

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

PE=m(h)g

This means the mass (m) times height (h) times gravity (m). Gravity is 9.8 m/s (meters per second). Putting all of the numbers into it would equal:

PE=2(13)9.8
