All the weight of the wooden board rests solely on the support situated at the center of the rod, while the other support positioned at one end experiences no reaction force, resulting in a 0 reaction force.
Thus, the reaction force at the central support corresponds to the weight of the board, whereas the end support has 0 reaction force.
25.82 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Force applied by the baseball player; F = 100 N
Distance the ball travels; d = 0.5 m
Mass of the ball; m = 0.15 kg
To find the velocity at which the ball is released, we will equate the work done with the kinetic energy involved.
It's important to recognize that work done reflects the energy the baseball player has used. Thus, the relationship can be represented as follows:
F × d = ½mv²
100 × 0.5 = ½ × 0.15 × v²
Solving gives:
v² = (2 × 100 × 0.5) / 0.15
v² = 666.67
v = √666.67
v = 25.82 m/s.
The gravitational force acting on the elevator is 4500N. Explanation: The parameters provided indicate that the force exerted by the elevator is F = 4500 N. The elevator does not accelerate. According to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the cable matches the gravitational force on the elevator, which represents its weight (W), and the elevator's motion stands as follows: F = W + (Mass of elevator × Acceleration of elevator). Therefore, F = W + (Mass of elevator × 0) = W, which leads us to F = 4500 N = W. The net force on the elevator can be expressed as F - W = 0, confirming that the gravitational force on the elevator equals W = 4500N.
Answer: The resulting speed is

. Option (a) stands as the correct choice. Explanation: Given the context, the potential difference entails calculations linked to speed assessment. If instead accelerated through a different potential difference, the resulting speed will be computed accordingly.
