Torque

A disk with a mass of 50 kg and radius of 0.4 m is rotated about its axis by a motor. The disk starts from rest and ortates a 120 rev/min in 10s. What is the torque assuming it to be constant?

The gauge pressure at a depth of 17 m in water is equal to what?

The gauge pressure at a depth of 17 m in water is equal to what?

Velocity after collision

An object with a mass of 2 kg traveling with a velocity of 3 m/s, collides head on and elastically witha stationary object of mass 0.5 kg. The velocity of the 2 kg mass after collision is what?

Collisions.

A 3 kg bowling ball traveling with a velocity of 3 m/s collides head on with another bowling ball of the same mass traveling with a velocity of -2 m/s. If the collision is perfectly elastic, the velocities of the bowling balls after the collsion is what?

Mechanics: Conservation of momentum on variable mass system

Sand from a stationary hopper falls onto a moving conveyor belt at the rate of 5.00 kg/s as in the figure. The conveyor belt is supported by frictionless rollers and moves at a constant speed of 0.750 m/s under the action of a constant horizontal external force Fext supplied by the motor that drives the belt. Find (a) the san ...continues

Physics

Two blocks of masses M and 3M are placed on a horizontal, frictionless surface. A light spring is attached to one of them, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them (Fig. P9.4). A cord initially holding the blocks together is burned; after this, the block of mass 3M moves to the right with a speed of 1.50 m ...continues

A tennis player receives a shot with the ball (0.0600 kg) traveling horizontally at 50.0 m/s and returns the shot with the ball traveling horizontally at 36.0 m/s in the opposite direction. (Assume the initial direction of the ball is in the -x direction.) (a) What is the impulse delivered to the ball by the racquet? i N · ...continues

Force Impulse and Projectile Motion

In a slow-pitch softball game, a 0.200 kg softball crossed the plate at 20.00 m/s at an angle of 35.0° below the horizontal. The batter hits the ball toward center field, giving it a velocity of 40.0 m/s at 30.0° above the horizontal. (a) Determine the impulse delivered to the ball. (b) If the force on the ball increases ...continues

A golf ball (m = 46.0 g) is struck with a force...

A golf ball (m = 46.0 g) is struck with a force that makes an angle of 45.7° with the horizontal. The ball lands 207 m away on a flat fairway. If the golf club and ball are in contact for 7.06 ms, what is the average force of impact? (Neglect air resistance.)

Intensity of sound
