Answer:

46.4 seconds

Explanation:

5 minutes converts to 60 times 5, giving us 300 seconds.

Take g = 9.8 m/s². Let \theta represent the slope, s the distance, a the acceleration of Rob, with Jim achieving 3a/4 for his acceleration. Their motions are influenced by the parallel component of gravitational acceleration gsin\theta.

For Rob, the motion can be modeled as s = a_Rt_R²/2 = a300²/2 = 45000a.

Jim's motion equation is as shown in s = a_Jt_J^2/2 = (3a/4)t_J^2/2 = 3at_J^2/8.

Both cover equal distances, indicated by 45000a = 3at_J^2/8.

t_J^2 = 45000*8/3 = 120000

t_J = \sqrt{120000} = 346.4 s

Thus, Jim must start 46.4 seconds before Rob to arrive simultaneously at the top.

A scientist is creating a new synthetic material. The material’s density is 6.1 g/cm3. Which sentences describe how the scientis
ValentinkaMS [1144]
Density is defined as the mass divided by the volume.

You can alter the density of a substance by adjusting either its mass or volume.

Increasing the volume while maintaining a constant mass will result in a decrease in density (as the denominator of the fraction increases).

Furthermore, reducing the mass while keeping the volume the same will also lower the density (because the numerator is reduced).

Therefore, to achieve a lower density, you should either reduce the mass or increase the volume, keeping the other constant.

I hope this is helpful.

A small block of mass 200 g starts at rest at A, slides to B where its speed is vB=8.0m/s,vB=8.0m/s, then slides along the horiz
serg [1189]

Answer

Data provided:

mass of the block = 200 g = 0.2 Kg

Velocity at A = 0 m/s

Velocity at B = 8 m/s

distance of slide = 10 m

height of the block = 4 m

calculation for the block's potential energy

    P = m g h

    P = 0.2 x 9.8 x 4

    P = 7.84 J

kinetic energy calculated as

    KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

    KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.2 \times 7.84^2

    KE =6.14 J

Work done = P - KE

work = 7.84 - 6.14

work = 1.7 J

b) using the formula v² = u² + 2 a s

   0 = 8² - 2 x a x 10

   a = 3.2 m/s²

ma - μ mg = 0

 \mu = \dfrac{a}{g}

 \mu = \dfrac{3.2}{9.8}

 \mu = 0.327

A string is stretched by two equal but opposite forces f newton each what is tension in string
Maru [1053]

The string does not experience any force of tension, as it balances two forces acting in the same direction. Hence, the tension is zero.

Explanation:

If tension existed in the string, it would mean that two equal but opposite forces are exerting pull in contrary directions.

When a force of f newtons is applied from the right and another force of f newtons from the left, the resulting action occurs through one force. Because there is action on the same string in opposing directions, the tension in the string can only be equal to the magnitude of the string itself.

Therefore, the string indeed has no tension since it is dealing with two forces acting in the same direction. Thus, the tension is zero.

Two friends, Burt and Ernie, are standing at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.2m long and
Softa [913]

Answer:

x = 0.29 m

Explanation:

It is known that the total external force acting on the mass system equals ZERO,

so the center of mass of the entire system will stay stationary.

We find that

m_1\Delta x_1 + m_2\Delta x_2 + m_3\Delta x_3 = 0

Since Ernie approaches Burt's position, we have:

33 x + 290 x + 32(-3.2 + x) = 0

355 x = 102.4

therefore, we conclude that

x = \frac{102.4}{355}

x = 0.29 m
