Answer:

Explanation:

According to the parameters provided,

mass of the clay lump, m₁ = 0.05 kg

initial velocity of the lump, u₁ = 12 m/s

mass of the cart, m₂ = 0.15 kg

initial speed of the cart, u₂ = 0

As the clay adheres to the cart, we have an inelastic collision scenario. Let v represent the combined speed of both the cart and lump post-collision. Given that momentum is conserved, we have:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

v=\dfrac{0.05\ kg\times 12\ m/s+0}{0.05\ kg+0.15\ kg}

The resultant speed is v = 3 m/s.

Thus, the final speed of both cart and lump following the collision is 3 m/s. This concludes the solution.

Ostrovityanka [2204]

Response:

2.5kN.m

Details:

Torque relates directly to the pitch diameter

= Ta/Tb= Da/Db

For 120/Tb= 0.25/0.5

This gives Tb= 2.469kN.m, roughly 2.5kN.m

In general, how do you find the average velocity of any object falling in a vacuum?
Softa [2029]
To determine the average velocity of an object descending in a vacuum, assuming you know its final speed, multiply the final result by the overall time. 3. The equation d = v • t expresses how distance, average velocity, and time relate to each other.

inna [2205]

Answer:

The area that remains is 4.201 m²

Explanation:

Provided that

AB=D=  4 m  (R=2 m)

The area of the half-circle AB is

A=\pi R^2/2

A=2π

The area of the smaller half-circle is

a=5π/6 + 2√3/4  m²

a=5π/6 + √3/2  m²

<pThus, the remaining area = A - a

                                     = 2π - (5π/6 + √3/2) m²

The remaining area is expressed as  2π - (5π/6 + √3/2) m²

A crate with a mass of m = 450 kg rests on the horizontal deck of a ship. The coefficient of static friction between the crate a
Sav [2226]

Answer:F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg

The force required has a magnitude of 2601.9 N

Explanation:

m = 450 kg

Static friction coefficient μs = 0.73

Kinetic friction coefficient μk = 0.59

The force necessary to initiate movement of the crate is F_{s} =\mu_{s} mg.

Once the crate begins to move, the frictional force decreases to F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg.

To maintain the motion of the crate at a steady velocity, we must lower the pushing force to F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg.

Subsequently, the pushing force aligns with the frictional force stemming from kinetic friction, enabling balanced forces and consistent velocity.

<pMagnitude of the force

F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg\\F_{v} =0.59 \times 450 \times 9.8\\F_{v} =2601.9 N
