c) x = [tex]d - \frac{m_1}{m_2} \ \frac{L}{2d}[/tex], d) m₂ = m₁ ( [tex]\frac{ L}{2d} -1[/tex])
Explanation:
After carefully reading your long sentence, I understand your exercise. In the attachment is a diagram of the assembly described. This is a balancing act
a) The tension of string A is requested
The expression for the rotational equilibrium taking the ends of the bar as the turning point, the counterclockwise rotations are positive
∑ τ = 0
T_A d - W₂ x -W₁ L/2 = 0
T_A = [tex]\frac{g}{d}\ ( m_2 x + m_1 \ \frac{L}{2} )[/tex]
b) the tension in string B
we write the expression of the translational equilibrium
∑ F = 0
T_A - W₂ - W₁ - T_B = 0
T_B = T_A -W₂ - W₁
T_ B = [tex]\frac{g}{d}\ ( m_2 x + m_1 \ \frac{L}{2} )[/tex] - g m₂ - g m₁
T_B = g [m₂ ( [tex]\frac{x}{d} -1[/tex]) + m₁ ( [tex]\frac{L}{ 2d} -1[/tex]) ]
c) The minimum value of x for the system to remain stable, we use the expression for the endowment equilibrium, for this case the axis of rotation is the support point of the chord A, for which we will write the equation for this system
T_A 0 + W₂ (d-x) - W₁ (L / 2-d) - T_B d = 0
at the point that begins to rotate T_B = 0
g m₂ (d -x) - g m₁ (0.5 L -d) + 0 = 0
m₂ (d-x) = m₁ (0.5 L- d)
m₂ x = m₂ d - m₁ (0.5 L- d)
x = [tex]d - \frac{m_1}{m_2} \ \frac{L}{2d}[/tex]
d) The mass of the block for which it is always in equilibrium
this is the mass for which x = 0
0 = d - \frac{m_1}{m_2} \ \frac{L}{2d}
[tex]\frac{m_1}{m_2} \ (0.5L -d) = d[/tex]
[tex]\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{ d}{0.5L-d}[/tex]
m₂ = m₁ [tex]\frac{0.5 L -d}{d}[/tex]
m₂ = m₁ ( [tex]\frac{ L}{2d} -1[/tex])

A ball has a mass of 4.65 kg and approximates a ping pong ball of mass 0.060 kg that is at rest by striking it in an elastic collision. The initial velocity of the bowling ball is 5.00 m / s, determine the final velocities of both masses after the collision. Use equations 9.21 and 9.22 from the textbook. The book is on WebAssign.
Answer:
the final velocity of the ball is 4.87 m/s
the final velocity of the ping ball is 9.87 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the ball, m₁ = 4.65 kg
mass of the ping ball, m₂ = 0.06 kg
initial velocity of the ping ball, u₂ = 0
initial velocity of the ball, u₁ = 5 m/s
let the final velocity of the ball = v₁
let the final velocity of the ping ball, = v₂
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for elastic collision;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
4.65(5) + 0.06(0) = 4.65v₁ + 0.06v₂
23.25 + 0 = 4.65v₁ + 0.06v₂
23.25 = 4.65v₁ + 0.06v₂ ------ (1)
Apply one-directional velocity equation;
u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂
5 + v₁ = 0 + v₂
5 + v₁ = v₂
v₁ = v₂ - 5 -------- (2)
substitute equation (2) into (1)
23.25 = 4.65(v₂ - 5) + 0.06v₂
23.25 = 4.65v₂ - 23.25 + 0.06v₂
46.5 = 4.71 v₂
v₂ = 46.5/4.71
v₂ = 9.87 m/s
v₁ = v₂ - 5
v₁ = 9.87 - 5
v₁ = 4.87 m/s

If 5.4 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from 15 cm to 21 cm and another 9 J is needed to stretch it from 21 cm to 27 cm, what is the natural length (in cm) of the spring
Answer:
the natural length of the spring is 9 cm
Explanation:
let the natural length of the spring = L
For each of the work done, we set up an integral equation;
[tex]5.4 = \int\limits^{21-l}_{15-l} {kx} \, dx \\\\5.4 = [\frac{1}{2}kx^2 ]^{21-l}_{15-l}\\\\5.4 = \frac{k}{2} [(21-l)^2 - (15-l)^2]\\\\k = \frac{2(5.4)}{(21-l)^2 - (15-l)^2} \ \ \ -----(1)[/tex]
The second equation of work done is set up as follows;
[tex]9 = \int\limits^{27-l}_{21-l} {kx} \, dx \\\\9 = [\frac{1}{2}kx^2 ]^{27-l}_{21-l}\\\\9 = \frac{k}{2} [(27-l)^2 - (21-l)^2] \\\\k = \frac{2(9)}{(27-l)^2 - (21-l)^2} \ \ \ -----(2)[/tex]
solve equation (1) and equation (2) together;
[tex]\frac{2(9)}{(27-l)^2 - (21-l)^2} = \frac{2(5.4)}{(21-l)^2 - (15-l)^2}\\\\\frac{2(9)}{2(5.4)} = \frac{(27-l)^2 - (21-l)^2}{(21-l)^2 - (15-l)^2}\\\\\frac{9}{5.4} = \frac{(729 - 54l+ l^2) - (441-42l+ l^2)}{(441-42l+ l^2) - (225 -30l+ l^2)} \\\\\frac{9}{5.4 } = \frac{288-12l}{216-12l} \\\\\frac{9}{5.4 } =\frac{12}{12} (\frac{24-l}{18 -l})\\\\\frac{9}{5.4 } = \frac{24-l}{18 -l}\\\\9(18-l) = 5.4(24-l)\\\\162-9l = 129.6-5.4l\\\\162-129.6 = 9l - 5.4 l\\\\32.4 = 3.6 l\\\\l = \frac{32.4}{3.6} \\\\[/tex]
[tex]l = 9 \ cm[/tex]
Therefore, the natural length of the spring is 9 cm

Complete question is;
A point charge is positioned in the center of a hollow metallic shell of radius R. During four experiments the value of point charge and charge of the shell were respectively:
+5q; 0
-6q; +2q
+2q; -3q
-4q; +12q
Rank the results of experiments according to the charge on the inner surface of the shell, most positive first:
a. 2, 3, 1, 4
b. 1, 2, 3, 4
c. 2, 4, 3, 1
d. 1, 3, 4, 2
Answer:
c. 2, 4, 3, 1
Explanation:
In this question, we can say that;
q_in = q_b
Where;
q_in is the charge on the inner surface of the shell
q_b is the point charge on the shell.
Thus q_in = -q_b was written because, as the shell is conducting, it means that the electric field would have a value of zero and thus the radius inside will be zero.
Thus;
- For +5q; 0:
q_in = -(+5q)
q_in = -5q
- For -6q; +2q :
q_in = - (-6q)
q_in = +6q
- For +2q; -3q :
q_in = -(+2q)
q_in = -2q
- For -4q; +12q:
q_in = -(-4q)
q_in = +4q
Ranking the most positive to the least positive ones, we have;
+6q, +4q, -2q, -5q
This corresponds to options;
2, 4, 3, 1
A bag of cement of Weight 1000N hangs from ropes. Two of the ropes make angles of 1=60 and 2=30 with the horizontal.if the system is in equilibrium,find the tension T1,T2andT3 in the ropes
Answer:
T1 = 499.9N, T2 = 865.8N, T3 = 1000N
Explanation:
To find the tensions we need to find the vertical and horizontal components of T1 and T2
T1x = T1 cos60⁰, T1y = T1 sin60⁰
Also, T2x = T2 cos30⁰, T2y = T2 sin30⁰
For the forces to be in equilibrium,
the sum of vertical forces must be zero and the sum of horizontal forces must also be zero
Sum of Fx = 0
That is, T1x - T2x=0
NB: T2x is being subtracted because T1x and T2x are in opposite directions
T1 cos60⁰ - T2 cos30⁰ = 0
0.866T1 - 0.5T2 = 0 ............ (1)
Sum of Fy = 0
T1y + T2y - 1000 = 0
T1 sin60⁰ + T2 sin30⁰ - 1000 = 0
NB: The weight of the bag of cement is also being subtracted because it's in an opposite direction.
0.5T1 - 0.866T2 - 1000 = 0 ........(2)
From (1)
make T1 the subject
T1 = 0.5T2/0.866
Substitute T1 into (2)
0.5 (0.5T2/0.866) - 0.866T2 = 1000
(0.25/0.866)T2 - 0.866T2 = 1000
0.289T2 - 0.866T2 = 1000
1.155T2 = 1000
T2 = 865.8N
Then T1 = 0.5 x 865.8 / 0.866
T1 = 499.9N
T3 = 1000N
NB: The weight of the bag is the Tension above the rope, which is T3
A child with a weight of 230 N swings on a playground swing attached to 2.20-m-long chains. What is the gravitational potential energy of the child-Earth system relative to the child's lowest position at the following times?
(a) when the chains are horizontal (in J)
(b) when the chains make an angle of 33.0° with respect to the vertical (in J)
(c) when the child is at his lowest position (in J)
Answer:
a) U = 506 J, b) U = 37.11 J, c) U = 0
Explanation:
The gravitational power energy is given by the expression
U = m g (y -y₀)
In general, a reference system is set that allows the expression to be simplified, in this case let's assume the reference system at the child's lowest point, therefore y₀ = 0
Let's use trigonometry to find the child's height
h = y = L - L cos θ
we substitute
U = m g L (1 - cos θ)
a) when the chain is horizontal θ = 90 and cos 90 = 0
U = mg L
weight and mass are related
W = mg
m = W / g
U = 230 2.20
U = 506 J
b) θ = 33.0º
cos 33 = 0.83867
U = 230 (1 - 0.83867)
U = 37.11 J
c) in this case θ = 0 cos 0 = 1
U = 0

As it pulls itself up to a branch, a chimpanzee accelerates upward at 2.4 m/s2 at the instant it exerts a 260-N force downward on the branch.Find the magnitude of the force the chimpanzee exerts on the Earth.
Answer:
[tex]F=208.83N[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Acceleration [tex]a=2.4m/s^2[/tex]
Force of Branch [tex]F=260N[/tex]
Generally the Newton's equation second law for Force is mathematically given by
[tex]ma=F-mg[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{260}{2.4+9.8}[/tex]
[tex]m=21.31kg[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]F=mg[/tex]
[tex]F=(21.31)(9.8)[/tex]
[tex]F=208.83N[/tex]

A solid uniform disk of diameter 3.20 m and mass 42 kg rolls without slipping to the bottom of a hill, starting from rest. If the angular speed of the disk is 4.27 rad/s at the bottom, how high did it start on the hill?
A) 3.57 m.
B) 4.28 m.
C) 3.14 m.
D) 2.68 m.
Answer:
A(3.56m)
Explanation:
We have a conservation of energy problem here as well. Potential energy is being converted into linear kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy.
We are given ω= 4.27rad/s, so v = ωr, which is 6.832 m/s. Place your coordinate system at top of the hill so E initial is 0.
Ef= Ug+Klin+Krot= -mgh+1/2mv^2+1/2Iω^2
Since it is a solid uniform disk I= 1/2MR^2, so Krot will be 1/4Mv^2(r^2ω^2= v^2).
Ef= -mgh+3/4mv^2
Since Ef=Ei=0
Mgh=3/4mv^2
gh=3/4v^2
h=0.75v^2/g
plug in givens to get h= 3.57m

A magnetic field of 0.080 T is in the y-direction. The velocity of wire segment S has a magnitude of 78 m/s and components of 18 m/s in the x-direction, 24 m/s in the y-direction, and 72 m/s in the z-direction. The segment has length 0.50 m and is parallel to the z-axis as it moves.
Required:
a. Find the motional emf induced between the ends of the segment.
b. What would the motional emf be if the wire segment was parallel to the y-axis?
Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given:
The motional emf can be computed by using the formula:
[tex]E = L^{\to}*(V^\to*\beta^{\to})[/tex]
[tex]E = L^{\to}*((x+y+z)*\beta^{\to})[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.50*((18\hat i+24 \hat j +72 \hat k )*0.0800)[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.50*((18*0.800)\hat k +0j+(72*0.080) \hat -i ))[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.50*((18*0.800)[/tex]
E = 0.72 volts
According to the question, suppose the wire segment was parallel, there will no be any emf induced since the magnetic field is present along the y-axis.
As such, for any motional emf should be induced, the magnetic field, length, and velocity are required to be perpendicular to one another .
Then the motional emf will be:
[tex]E = 0.50 \hat j *((18*0.800)\hat k -(72*0.080) \hat i ))[/tex]
E = 0 (zero)
Riley, a student, notices that the protractor tool does not measure the angle just as the ball leaves the surface. She sees that the ball must travel some distance before it crosses the protractor, so the direction of travel may have changed as the ball moves upwards. She says that this is the cause of the discrepancy between her predicted angle and the measured angle. Does this reasoning explain the discrepancy between your predicted angle and your measured angle. Use evidence to support your claim.
Answer:
Riley's reasoning is correct
Explanation:
Her reasoning is correct because as the ball moves upwards, the acceleration due to gravity would be vertical and in downward position. Therefore at all points as the ball moves, the velocity of the ball is going to change in magnitude as well as in direction. given that the direction keeps changing at certain points, the angle made by the initial velocity just as the ball left the surface would also have to continuously change.
If Riley has to wait for this ball to move some inches before she uses the protractor to measure the angle, the angle of travel would have to change.
Therefore there is going to be discrepancies between the measured angle and the predicted angle. The predicted is the angle of velocity with the horizontal just as this ball moves from the surface.
A truck moves 70 m east, then moves 120 m west, and finally moves east again a distance of 90 m. If east is chosen as the positive direction, what is the truck's resultant displacement
Answer:
140m east
Explanation:
If East is positive then lets rephrase the problem into integers
A truck moves +70 m, then moves -120m, and finally moves +90m.
So totally Displacement = +70-120+90= +140m
Since east is positive, the trucks resultant displacement is 140 m east of origin
Many collisions, like the collision of a bat with a baseball, appear to be instantaneous. Most people also would not imagine the bat and ball as bending or being compressed during the collision. Consider the following possibilities: The collision is instantaneous. The collision takes a finite amount of time, during which the ball and bat retain their shapes and remain in contact. The collision takes a finite amount of time, during which the ball and bat are bending or being compressed. How can two of these be ruled out based on energy or momentum considerations?
The collision is instantaneous.
The collision takes a finite amount of time, during which the ball and bat retain their shapes and remain in contact.
The collision takes a finite amount of time, during which the ball and bat are bending or being compressed.
How can two of these be ruled out based on energy or momentum considerations?
Answer:
The collision takes a finite amount of time, during which the ball and bat are bending or being compressed
Explanation:
These two conditions can be ruled out on the fact that :The collision takes a finite amount of time, during which the ball and bat are bending or being compressed
The rule of energy is been broken here because during the collision of objects energy and momentum is conserved. i.e. the change in shape of the ball when hit by the bat should not be noticed because the compression and returning to normal shape happens instantaneously

20. How much charge will flow through a 2002 galvanometer
connected to a 40092 circular coil of 1000 turns on a wooden
stick 2 cm in diameter? If a magnetic field B=0.011 T parallel to
the axis of the stick is decreased suddenly to zero?
Answer:
5.76 μC
Explanation:
The induce emf, ε = -ΔΦ/Δt where ΔΦ = change in magnetic flux = NAΔB where N = number of turns of coil = 1000, A = cross-sectional area of coil = πd²/4 where d = diameter of coil = 2 cm = 2 × 10⁻² m and ΔB = change in magnetic field strength = B' - B where B' = final magnetic field = 0 T and B = initial magnetic field strength = 0.011 T. So, ΔB = 0 T - 0.011 T = -0.011 T
So, ε = -ΔΦ/Δt
ε = -NAΔB/Δt
ε = -NAΔB/Δt
Also ε = iR where i = current and R = combined resistance of circular coil and galvanometer = 200 Ω + 400 Ω = 600 Ω (since they are in series)
So, iR = -NAΔB/Δt
iΔt = -NAΔB/R
Δq = -NAΔB/R where Δq = charge = iΔt
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
Δq = -1000 × π(2 × 10⁻² m)²/4 × -0.011 T/600 Ω
Δq = -1000 × 4π × 10⁻⁴ m²/4 × -0.011 T/600 Ω
Δq = 0.011π × 10⁻¹ m²T/600 Ω
Δq = 0.03456 × 10⁻¹ m²T/600 Ω
Δq = 5.76 × 10⁻⁶ C
Δq = 5.76 μC
A nerve impulse travels along a myelinated neuron at 90.1 m/s.
What is this speed in mi/h?
Answer:
201.5537 mph
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Speed = 90.1 m/s
Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.
Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;
Speed = distance/time
To convert this value into miles per hour;
Conversion;
1 meter = 0.000621 mile
90.1 meters = 90.1 * 0.000621 = 0.05595 miles
1 metre per second = 2.237 miles per hour
90.1 meters per seconds = 90.1 * 2.237 = 201.5537 miles per hour
90.1 m/s = 201.5537 mph
When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis, all the points in the body have the same Group of answer choices linear displacement. angular acceleration. centripetal acceleration. tangential speed. tangential acceleration.
Answer:
angular acceleration.
Explanation:
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction (gravity) acting between the Earth and all physical objects is directly proportional to the Earth's mass, directly proportional to the physical object's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating the Earth's center and that physical object.
Generally, when a rigid body is made to rotate about a fixed axis, all the points in the body would typically have the same angular acceleration, angular displacement, and angular speed.
Three 30 g metal balls, one of aluminum, copper and lead, are placed in a large beaker of hot water for a few minutes. [The specific heats of aluminum, copper, and lead are 903, 385, and 130 J / (kg ° C), respectively].
to. Which of the balls, if any, will reach the highest temperature? Explain.
b. Which of the balls, if any, will have the most heat energy? Explain.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity is an intensive property of a material. The specific heat of a material is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one unit mass m of material by one unit of temperature.
a) Temperature is inversely proportional to specific heat capacity. If the same amount of heat is applied to all three balls, the ball that will reach the highest temperature is the ball with the least specific heat capacity.
Hence lead will have the highest temperature since it has the least specific heat capacity.
b) The quantity of heat is directly proportional to the specific heat capacity. Hence if all balls experience the same temperature change, the ball that have the most energy will be that with the highest specific heat capacity.
Hence aluminum will have the most heat since it has the highest specific heat capacity.

Answer:
The simplified expression is 3.833 x 10⁷ g
Explanation:
Given expression;
3.88 x 10⁷ g - 4.701 x 10⁵ g
The expression above is simplified as follows;
= (3.88 x 100 x 10⁵ )g - ( 4.701 x 10⁵) g
= (388 x 10⁵ )g - ( 4.701 x 10⁵) g
= (388 - 4.701 ) x (10⁵ )g
= 383.299 x 10⁵ g
In standard form, the simplified expression can be expressed as;
= (3.83299 x 100 x 10⁵) g
= 3.83299 x 10⁷ g
= 3.833 x 10⁷ g
Therefore, the simplified expression is 3.833 x 10⁷ g
4. Consider a 1 kg block is on a 45° slope of ice. It is connected to a 0.4 kg block by a cable
and pulley. Does the 1 kg block move or down the slope? What is the net force on it and
its acceleration? (8 pts)
If an icy surface means no friction, then Newton's second law tells us the net forces on either block are
• m = 1 kg:
∑ F (parallel) = mg sin(45°) - T = ma … … … [1]
∑ F (perpendicular) = n - mg cos(45°) = 0
Notice that we're taking down-the-slope to be positive direction parallel to the surface.
• m = 0.4 kg:
∑ F (vertical) = T - mg = ma … … … [2]
Adding equations [1] and [2] eliminates T, so that
((1 kg) g sin(45°) - T ) + (T - (0.4 kg) g) = (1 kg + 0.4 kg) a
(1 kg) g sin(45°) - (0.4 kg) g = (1.4 kg) a
==> a ≈ 2.15 m/s²
The fact that a is positive indicates that the 1-kg block is moving down the slope. We already found the acceleration is a ≈ 2.15 m/s², which means the net force on the block would be ∑ F = ma ≈ (1 kg) (2.15 m/s²) = 2.15 N directed down the slope.
A block of mass M is connected by a string and pulley to a hanging mass m.The coefficient of kinetic friction between block M and the table is 0.2, and also, M = 20 kg, m = 10 kg. Find the acceleration of the system and tensions on the string.
The free body diagram for the block of mass M consists of four forces:
• the block's weight, Mg, pointing downward
• the normal force of the table pushing upward on the block, also with magnitude Mg
• kinetic friction with magnitude µMg = 0.2 Mg, pointing to the left
• tension of magnitude T pulling the block to the right
For the block of mass m, there are only two forces:
• its weight, mg, pulling downward
• tension T pulling upward
The m-block will pull the M-block toward the edge of the table, so we take the right direction to be positive for the M-block, and downward to be positive for the m-block.
Newton's second law gives us
T - 0.2Mg = Ma
mg - T = ma
where a is the acceleration of either block/the system. Adding these equations together eliminates T and we can solve for a :
mg - 0.2 Mg = (m + M) a
a = (m - 0.2M) / (m + M) g
a = 1.96 m/s²
Then the tension in the string is
T = m (g - a)
T = 78.4 N
