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

has mass 290kg . Burt has mass 33kg and Ernie has mass 32kg, Initially the log and the two friends are at rest relative to the shore. Burt then offers Ernie a cookie, and Ernie walks to Burt's end of the log to get it,then Relative to the shore, what distance has the log moved by the time Ernie reaches Burt? Neglect any horizontal force that the water exerts on the log and assume that neither Burt nor Ernie falls off the log.

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

The iron ball shown is being swung in a vertical circle at the end of a 0.7-m string. how slowly can the ball go through its top
Keith_Richards [1034]
<span>A centripetal force maintains an object's circular motion. When the ball is at the highest point, we can assume that the ball's speed v is such that the weight of the ball matches the required centripetal force to keep it moving in a circle. Hence, the string will not become slack. centripetal force = weight of the ball m v^2 / r = m g v^2 / r = g v^2 = g r v = sqrt { g r } v = sqrt { (9.80~m/s^2) (0.7 m) } v = 2.62 m/s Thus, the minimum speed for the ball at the top position is 2.62 m/s.</span>

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
Yuliya22 [1153]

Answer:

C) True. The distance S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀), illustrating that v₁> v₂ for the same t.

Explanation:

We have a set of statements to evaluate for correctness. The most effective approach is to examine the problem in detail.

Using the equation for vertical launch, we acknowledge that the positive direction signifies downward movement.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Stone 2

Released shortly thereafter, let's assume a delay of one second, we can utilize the same timing mechanism

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

We can now calculate the separation distance between the two stones, which is applicable for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t² - 2 t t₀ + t₀²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t - t₀)

This represents the distance between the two stones over time, with the coefficient outside the parentheses being constant.

For t < to, the first stone remains stationary while the distance grows.

For t > = to, the expression (2t/to-1) yields a value greater than 1, indicating that the distance expands as time progresses.

We can now analyze the different statements

A) false. The height difference increases over time.

B) False S increases.

C) It is true that S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) indicating v₁> v₂ at the same t.

Two frictionless lab carts start from rest and are pushed along a level surface by a constant force. Students measure the magnit
Yuliya22 [1153]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is higher for the first cart.

Explanation:

For the second cart, its mass is 2kg and the momentum measured is 10kg m/s, which leads to

(2kg)v = 10kg\: m/s

resulting in

v = 5m/s.

Consequently, the kinetic energy for the 3kg cart ends up as

K.E.  = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

= \dfrac{1}{2}(2kg)(5m/s)^2 =  25J

\boxed{K.E = 25J}

indicating it is less than that of the 1kg cart so it follows that the first cart possesses greater kinetic energy.

A hiker walks 200m west and then walks 100m north. What is the magnitude and direction of her resulting displacement?
Maru [1056]

A hiker proceeds 200 m west and subsequently another 100 m north, resulting in a displacement of 223 m. The direction can be determined using the trigonometric function where sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse, yielding an angle of 26.6 degrees. Therefore, the total displacement is 223 m at an angle of 26.6 degrees north of west.
