A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm

mark. What is the mass of the meter stick?

Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

$mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g$

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g

Answer:

127 g

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of the metre stick.

50 g mass is placed on 90 cm mark is balance at 61.3 cm mark. Take moments about the 61.3 cm mark.

Anticlockwise torque = clock wise torque

m x (61.3 - 50) = 50 x (90 - 61.3)

m x 11.3 = 50 x 28.7

m = 127 g

Thus, the mass of the mere stick is 127 g.

Carla sees an equation that models a nuclear change.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

C. nuclear fusion, because the equation shows two hydrogen nuclei combining to form a helium nucleus

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction can either be; fission or fusion. Nuclear fission is the process by which a massive nucleus breaks in to two smaller nuclei of almost the same size with the release of high amount of energy. Nuclear fusion is the process by which two nuclei reacts, joins, to produce a massive nucleus (compared to the masses of the reacting elements) with the release of high amount of energy.

From the given equation, two hydrogen isotopes; deuterium and tritium reacts with each other to produce helium nucleus and a neutron.

This reaction is a nuclear fusion which produces a massive nuclei.

A rotating beacon is located 2 miles out in the water. Let A be the point on the shore that is closest to the beacon. As the bea

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$v = 3369.2 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that Beacon is rotating with angular speed

$f = 10 rev/min$

so we have

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(\frac{10}{60})$

$\omega = 1.047 rad/s$

now we know that

$v = r \omega$

here we will have

$r = 2 miles = 2(1609 m)$

$r = 3218 m$

so we have

$v = 3218(1.047)$

$v = 3369.2 m/s$

Two identical stunt professionals A and B stand on the roof of building 1. Person A steps off of the roof and falls vertically o

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Both of the stunt professionals will sustain injuries of the same seriousness

Explanation:

We are being told that both stunt professionals are standing from the same height, therefore they will attain the same equivalent speed at the bottom if we are to look at it from the principle of conservation of energy.

Now; According to principle of momentum; the momentum at which the first stunt professional A hits the ground be equal as the momentum with which stunt professional B will hit the wall.

Thus; both of the stunt professionals will sustain injuries of the same seriousness

An automatic coffee maker uses a resistive heating element to boil the 2.4 kg of water that was poured into it at 21 °C. The cur

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of the enthalpy change of a process is shown below as:-

$\Delta H=m\times C\times \Delta T$

Where,

$\Delta H$

is the enthalpy change

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$

is the temperature change

Thus, given that:-

Mass of water = 2.4 kg

Specific heat = 4.18 J/g°C

$\Delta T=100-21\ ^0C=79\ ^0C$

So,

$\Delta H=2.4\times 4.18\times 79\ J=792.52\ kJ$

Heat Supplied $Q=VIt$

where $i=current$

$V=Voltage$

$8.5\times 120\times t=2.4\times 4186\times 79$

$t=778.10 s$

:<span> </span><span>30.50 km/h = 30.50^3 m / 3600s = 8.47 m/s

At the top of the circle the centripetal force (mv²/R) comes from the car's weight (mg)

So, the net downward force from the car (Fn) = (weight - centripetal force) .. and by reaction this is the upward force provided by the road ..

Fn = mg - mv²/R
Fn = m(g - v²/R) .. .. 1800kg (9.80 - 8.47²/20.20) .. .. .. ►Fn = 11 247 N (upwards)
(b)
When the car's speed is such that all the weight is needed for the centripetal force .. then the net downward force (Fn), and the reaction from the road, becomes zero.

ie .. mg = mv²/R .. .. v² = Rg .. .. 20.20m x 9.80 = 198.0(m/s)²

►v = √198 = 14.0 m/s</span>
