How does this work?
Why won't it fall?
Why can't you continue building the tower forever?

From what I've been told, if the center of mass leaves it's support area, the object falls.
But the object on the tops center of mass is certainly outside of its support area (the object at the bottom)

Please explain! Thank you in advance. : )

Answers

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

*Pre-condition: The mass of all blocks are evenly distributed.

As you add more and more blocks, the center of mass of the system changes.

Let the first block be the support. The maximum distance that can be unsupported (hung over) by the second block is equal to half the length of second block.

Why?

Let's take a look at our formula for torque. Torque, [tex]\tau[/tex], is given by:

[tex]\tau=rF\sin \theta[/tex], where [tex]r[/tex] is radius, [tex]F[/tex] is force, and [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the radius and level arm.

[tex]\sin \theta[/tex] is used to calculate the relevant component of a force producing torque. In this case, the only force acting on the object is the force of gravity. Therefore, [tex]\theta =90^{\circ}[/tex] and recall [tex]\sin 90^{\circ}=1[/tex].

Conceptually, it's more important to look at the [tex]r[/tex] term here. From our formula, we can see that if [tex]r=0[/tex], there is no torque.

The point of pivot will be at the center of mass. Here's the important part:

As long as the point of pivot is supported, [tex]r[/tex] will remain zero and no torque will be created from the force of gravity. As you keep stacking blocks, as long as the center of mass of the entire system remains supported from your first support, the tower will not fall.

In the given picture shown, that first block will be your support.

The 6 blocks on top of that first block form a center of mass that is still on that first block, thus allowing the tower to remain standing.

An equation for the period of a planet is 4 pie² r³/Gm where T is in secs, r is in meters, G is in m³/kgs² m is in kg, show that the equation is dimensionally correct.​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle T = \sqrt{\frac{4\, \pi^{2} \, r^{3}}{G \cdot m}}[/tex].

The unit of both sides of this equation are [tex]\rm s[/tex].

Explanation:

The unit of the left-hand side is [tex]\rm s[/tex], same as the unit of [tex]T[/tex].

The following makes use of the fact that for any non-zero value [tex]x[/tex], the power [tex]x^{-1}[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}[/tex].

On the right-hand side of this equation:

[tex]\pi[/tex] has no unit.The unit of [tex]r[/tex] is [tex]\rm m[/tex].The unit of [tex]G[/tex] is [tex]\displaystyle \rm \frac{m^{3}}{kg \cdot s^{2}}[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]\rm m^{3} \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}[/tex].The unit of [tex]m[/tex] is [tex]\rm kg[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \rm \sqrt{\frac{(m)^{3}}{(m^{3} \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}) \cdot (kg)}} \\ &= \rm \sqrt{\frac{m^{3}}{m^{3} \cdot s^{-2}}} = \sqrt{s^{2}} = s\end{aligned}[/tex].

Hence, the unit on the right-hand side of this equation is also [tex]\rm s[/tex].

Give examples of motion in which the directions of the velocity and acceleration vectors are (a) opposite, (b) the same, and (c) mutually perpendicular​

Answers

Answer:

a) When moving body applies brake then velocity and acceleration would be in opposite direction

b) When body starts to increase velocity then velocity and acceleration would be in same direction

c) When body is circulating then velocity and acceleration would be perpendicular to each other

Explanation:

a) When body applies brake then its velocity starts decreasing, in this case its acceleration would try to stop the moving body. So direction of velocity would be same as direction of motion of body but direction of acceleration would be in opposite direction

b) When body starts to increase velocity, its acceleration would make the body to move faster. So direction of velocity would be the direction of motion of body and acceleration would also be in same direction

c) When body moves in circular path then its acceleration would be towards centre of circle and velocity would try to snap the body out of circle to straight line which in tangent to circle.

a stone is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 20 m per second what will be its velocity when it reaches a height of 10.2 m​

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's the info we have:

initial velocity is 20 m/s;

final velocity is our unknown;

displacement is -10.2 m; and

acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s/s. Using the one-dimensional equation

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx and filling in accordingly to solve for v:

[tex]v=\sqrt{(20)^2+2(-9.8)(-10.2)}[/tex]  Rounding to the correct number of sig fig's to simplify:

[tex]v=\sqrt{400+2.0*10^2}[/tex] to get

v = [tex]\sqrt{600}=20\frac{m}{s}[/tex] If you don't round like that, the velocity could be 24, or it could also be 24.5 depending on how your class is paying attention to sig figs or if you are at all.

So either 20 m/s or 24 m/s

A Ball A and a Ball B collide elastically. The initial momentum of Ball A is -2.00kgm/s and the initial momentum of Ball B is -5.00kgm/s. Ball A has a mass of 4.00kg and is traveling at 2.50 m/s after the collision. What is the velocity of ball B if it has a mass of 6.50kg?

Answers

The velocity of B after the collision is obtained as -2.6 m/s.

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Now we now that the  principle of conservation of momentum states that the momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision.

Thus;

(-2.00kgm/s) + ( -5.00kgm/s) = ( 4.00kg * 2.50 m/s) + ( 6.50kg * v)

-7 = 10 + 6.5v

-7 - 10 = 6.5v

v = -7 - 10 /6.5

v = -2.6 m/s

Hence, the velocity of B after the collision is obtained as -2.6 m/s.

A force of 1000N is used to kick a football of mass 0.8kg find the velocity with which the ball moves if it takes 0.8 sec to be kicked.​

Answers

The velocity of the ball is 100m/s

The first step is to write out the parameters;

The force used to kick the ball is 1000N

The mass of the ball is 0.8 kg

Time is 0.8 seconds

Therefore the velocity can be calculated as follows

F= Mv-mu/t

1000= 0.8(v) - 0.8(0)/0.8

1000= 0.8v- 0.8/0.8

Cross multiply both sides

1000(0.8) = 0.8v

800= 0.8v

divide both sides by the coefficient of v which is 8

800/0.8= 0.8v/0.8

v= 1000m/s

Hence the velocity is 1000m/s

find the rate of energy radiated by a man by assuming the surface area of his body 1.7m²and emissivity of his body 0.4​

Answers

The rate of energy radiated by the man is 3.86 x [tex]10^{-8}[/tex]  J/s. [tex]m^{2}[/tex].

The amount of energy radiated by an object majorly depends on the area of its surface and its temperature. The is well explained in the Stefan-Boltzmann's law which states that:

Q(t) = Aeσ[tex]T^{4}[/tex]

where: Q is the quantity of heat radiated, A is the surface area of the object, e is the emmisivity of the object, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature of the object.

To determine the rate of energy radiated by the man in the given question;

[tex]\frac{Q(t)}{T^{4} }[/tex] = Aeσ

But A = 1.7 m², e = 0.4 and σ = 5.67 x [tex]10^{-8}[/tex] J/s.

So that;

[tex]\frac{Q(t)}{T^{4} }[/tex] = 1.7 * 0.4 * 5.67 x [tex]10^{-8}[/tex]

When the source is moving away from the observer the velocity of the source is added to the speed of light. This increases the value of the denominator, decreasing the value of the observed frequency. Frequency corresponds to pitch or tone; a lower observed frequency will result in a lower observed pitch.

A block weighing 400 kg rest on a horizontal surface and supports on top of it another block of weight 100 kg placed on the top of it as shown. The block W2 is attached to a vertical wall by a string 6 m long. Ifthe coefficient of friction between all surfaces is 0.25 and the system is in equilibrium find the magnitude of the horizontal force P applied to the lower block.

Answers

The horizontal force applied to the lower block is approximately 1,420.85 Newtons

The known parameters are;

The mass of the block, m₁ = 400 kg, weight, W₁ = 3,924 N

The mass of the block resting on the first block, m₂ = 100 kg, weight, W₂ = 981 N

The length of the string attached to the block, W₂, l = 6 m

The horizontal distance from the point of attachment of the second block to the block W₂, x = 5 m

The coefficient of friction between the surfaces, μ = 0.25

Let T represent the tension in the string

The upward force on W₂ due to the string = T × sin(θ)

The normal force of W₁ on W₂, N₂ = W₂ - T × sin(θ)

The tension in the string, T = N₂ × μ × cos(θ)

∴ T = (W₂ - T × sin(θ)) × μ × cos(θ)

sin(θ) = √(6² - 5²)/6

cos(θ) = 5/6

T = (981 - T × √(6² - 5²)/6) × 0.25 × 5/6

Solving, we get;

T ≈ 183.27 N

The normal reaction on W₂, N₂ = T/(μ × cos(θ))

∴ N₂ = 183.27/(0.25 × 5/6) = 879.7

N₂ ≈ 879.7 N

The friction force, [tex]F_{f2}[/tex] = N₂ × μ

∴ [tex]F_{f2}[/tex] = 879.7 N × 0.25 = 219.925 N

The total normal reaction on the ground, [tex]\mathbf{N_T}[/tex] = W₁ + N₂

[tex]N_T[/tex] = 3,924 N + 879.7 N = 4,803.7 N

The friction force, on the ground [tex]\mathbf{F_T}[/tex] = [tex]\mathbf{N_T}[/tex] × μ

∴  [tex]F_T[/tex] = 4,803.7 N × 0.25 = 1,200.925 N

The horizontal force applied to the lower block, P = [tex]\mathbf{F_T}[/tex] + [tex]\mathbf{F_{f2}}[/tex]

Therefore;

P = 1,200.925 N + 219.925 N = 1,420.85 N

The horizontal force applied to the lower block, P ≈ 1,420.85 N
