For the meter stick shown in figure 10-4, the force F1 10.0 N acts at 10.0 cm. What is the magnitude of torque due to F1 about a

n axis through point A perpendicular to the page? Is it clockwise, or is it counterclockwise? Show your work and give correct units.

Torque is equal position vector times (r) times force vector (F).  Since F= 10 N and r = 0.1 m, so the torque is equal to (10 N) x ( 0.1 m) = 1Nm. The direction of the torque would be into the screen, clockwise rotation.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

F =  1500 N

F/W = 500:147

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion, to get the initial velocity

v² = u²+2gs ............. Equation 1

Where v =final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

make a the subject of the equation

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), s = 2.5 m, g = -9.8 m/s²(against gravity)

substitute into equation 1

0² = u² +2×2.5×(-9.8)

u² = 49

u = 7 m/s.

a = u/t

Where t = time = 0.21 s

a = 7/0.21

a = 33.33 m/s²

Recall that,

F = ma ........... Equation 2

Where F = force, m = mass of the impala.

Given: m = 45 kg and a =33.33 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

F = 45(33.33)

F =1500 N.

Hence the force =1500 N.

Weight of the antelope = mg

W = mg

Where m = 45 kg, g = 9.8

W = 441 N.

F/W =1500/441

F/W = 500:147

Hence the ratio of force to antelope weight = 500:147

A 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft box weighs 100 pounds, and the weight is evenly distributed. What is the magnitude of the minimum horizonta
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the force required be F . It is applied at the top of the box . The box is likely to turn about a corner . Torque of this force about this corner

= F x 2

This torque will try to turn the box . On the other hand the weight which is acting at CM will create a torque about the same corner . This torque will try to prevent the box to turn around the corner.

This torque of weight

= 100 x 1

= 100 pound ft.

For equilibrium

Torque of F = torque of weight.

F x 2  = 100

F = 50 pounds .

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:5 Neither: both negative and positive charge are present simultaneously in all solid materials on Earth

Explanation:

When we rub a glass rod with silk cloth then some of the electrons from glass rods are stripped away to the silk cloth. These electrons are loosely bound to the silk rod that is why they easily transferred to silk cloth.  

There is no net charge because the charge is induced when we rub the cloth and charge are separated therefore we able to notice these charges.

Answer:

a)  amount of kinetic energy converted to internal energy  = 2.5 x 10 raised to power 7 Joule

b) Kinetic energy gained by the earth = 2.1 x 10-16J

c) All the kinetic energy is converted to internal energy and the energy is further converted to thermal energy hence the reason for the hotness at around where the meteorite strikes.

Explanation:

The detailed steps and appropriate application of the law of conservation of momentum is as shown in the attached file.

A frictionless inclined plane is 8.0 m long and rests on a wall that is 2.0 m high. How much force is needed to push a block of
adoni [48]

Given Information:  

Inclined plane length = 8 m

Inclined plane height = 2 m

Weight of ice block = 300 N

Required Information:  

Force required to push ice block = F = ?  

Answer:  

Force required to push ice block =  75 N

Explanation:  

The force required to push this block of ice on a inclined plane is given by

F = Wsinθ

Where W is the weight of the ice block and θ is the angle as shown in the attached image.

Recall from trigonometry ratios,

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

Where opposite is height of the inclined plane and hypotenuse in the length of the inclined plane.

sinθ = 2/8

θ = sin⁻¹(2/8)

θ = 14.48°

F = 300*sin(14.48)

F = 75 N

Therefore, a force of 75 N is required to push this ice block on the given inclined plane.
