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.

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ, where g=9.80meter/
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Analysis of structure gives

a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ

Notice that all the expression are right but we want to know of we can simplify the expression further.

We want to analyse if we can still further simplify the expression,

Inspecting the Right hand side of the equation, we notice that the acceleration due to gravity is common to both side, so we can bring it out i.e.

So option a is wrong because the expression can be simplified further to

a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Option b is right and the best option.

Since we are given that, g=9.8m/s²

We can as well substitute that to option a

So we will have

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Also option C is correct but it is not best inserting the values of g directly without simplifying the expression first

So it will have been the best option if it was written as

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

So the best option is B.

Two thermometers are calibrated, one in degrees Celsius and the other in degrees Fahrenheit.
sdas [7]

Answer:

The temperature is 233.15 K

Explanation:

Recall the formula to convert degree Celsius (C) into Fahrenheit (F):

\frac{9}{5} C+32=F

So if we want the value of degree C to be the same as the value of the degree F, we want the following: C = F

which replacing F with C on the right hand side of the equation above, allows us to solve for C:

\frac{9}{5} C+32=F\\\frac{9}{5} C+32=C\\\frac{9}{5} C-\frac{5}{5} C =-32\\\frac{4}{5} C==32\\C= \frac{-32\,*\,5}{4} \\C=-40

This means that -40°C = -40°F

And this temperature in Kelvin is:

-40°C + 273.15 = 233.15 K

The heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A. Initially A is at 300 K and B at 450 K. They are placed in thermal cont
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The final temperature of both objects is 400 K

Explanation:

The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;

Q = cΔT

where;

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

The heat transferred by the  object A per unit mass is given by;

Q(A) = caΔT

where;

ca is the specific heat capacity of object A

The heat transferred by the  object B per unit mass is given by;

Q(B) = cbΔT

where;

cb is the specific heat capacity of object B

The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A

Q(A) = -Q(B)

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

The final temperature of the two objects is given by

T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b}

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b} \\\\T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + 2C_aT_b}{C_a + 2C_a}\\\\T_2 = \frac{c_a(T_a + 2T_b)}{3C_a} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_a + 2T_b}{3}\\\\T_2 = \frac{300 + (2*450)}{3}\\\\T_2 = 400 \ K

Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.

An electron and a proton, starting from rest, are accelerated through an electric potential difference of the same magnitude. in
Yakvenalex [24]
The charges are the same in absolute value, so the change of potential energy is the same. That means that the change in kinetic energy is also the same. Then:

1 = Ke/Kp = m_e *v_e^2 / m_p * v_p^2, or

v_e/v_p = sqrt( m_p/m_e),

So the speed of the electron will be sqrt( m_p/m_e) times greater than the speed of the proton
