Answer:TL;DR: 3.535 cm

Explanation:

Xcm = ΣxMoments/ΣMasses = (10*0 + 10*5)/(10+10) = 50/20 = 2.5 cm

by symmetry,

Ycm = 2.5 cm

The distance D from the point Xcm,Ycm to the origin is D = √(2.5²+2.5²) = 3.535 cm

Answer:

the center of mass is 7.07 cm apart from the bend

Explanation:

the centre of mass of a wire of length L is L/2 ( assuming uniform density). Then initially the x coordinate of the centre of mass is

x₁ = L/2 = 20 cm /2 = 10 cm

when the wire is bent in a right angle the coordinates of the new centre of mass will be

x₂ = L₂/2

y₂=  L₂/2

where L₂ is the length of the horizontal piece and vertical piece . Then L₂=L/2

x₂ = L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

y₂= L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

x₂=y₂=X

locating the bend in the origin (0,0) the distance to the centre of mass is

d = √(x₂²+y₂²) = √(2X²) = √2*X=√2*5cm = 7.07 cm

d = 7.07 cm

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

468449163762.0812 W

Explanation:

m = Mass = \rhoV

V = Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

r = Distance of sphere from isotropic point source of light = 0.5 m

R = Radius of sphere = 2 mm

\rho = Density = 19 g/cm³

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

A = Area = \pi R^2

I = Intensity = \dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force due to radiation is given by

F=\dfrac{IA}{c}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}{\pi R^2}}{c}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{PR^2}{4r^2c}

According to the question

F=mg\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PR^2}{4r^2c}=\rho \dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3g\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16r^2\rho c\pi Rg}{3}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16\times 0.002\times 19000\times \pi\times 0.5^2\times 9.81\times 3\times 10^8}{3}\\\Rightarrow P=468449163762.0812\ W

The power required of the light source is 468449163762.0812 W

A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

                                  I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

                                  I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

                                  I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

                                  I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

                                  P_s = I_s*a

                                  P_s = 11 W / e

Hence,                       e*P_s = 11 W

While looking at bromine (Br) on the periodic table, a student needs to find another element with very similar chemical properti
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same vertical column as bromine.

Explanation:

In a periodic table, the elements are arranged according to the atomic number. The elements arranged in the same vertical column (known as groups) have same valence configuration and therefore have same chemical properties. Hence, there would be more possible elements having same chemical properties in the same vertical column (group) as Bromine.

A neutron at rest decays (breaks up) to a proton and an electron. Energy is released in the decay and appears as kinetic energy
SashulF [63]

Answer:

5.444\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The momentum of the neutron before and after the decay  is the same since there's no external force.

P_{sys}=const\\\\P=mv\\\\K=0.5mv^2

#The neutron is initially at rest, so after the decay:

P_A+P_B=0\\\\P_A=-P_B

#After decay, the proton has +ve direction  with a velocity v_Awhile the electron moves in a negative direction with a velocity v_B

Therefore:

P_A=m_Av_A, P_B=m_Bv_B\\\\\therefore m_Av_A,=m_Bv_B

Let the energy released during the decay be Q:

Q=K_{tot}=K_A+K_B\\\\Q=K_A+0.5m_Bv_B^2\\\\Q=K_A+0.5m_B(\frac{m_A}{m_B})^2v_A^2\\\\\ But \ K_A=0.5m_Av_A^2\\\\\therefore Q=K_A+\frac{m_A}{m_B}K_A=K_A(1+\frac{m_A}{m_B})\\\\=Q=\frac{m_A+m_B}{m_B}K_A\\\\m_A=1836m_B\\\\\frac{K_A}{Q}=\frac{m_B}{1836m_B+m_B}=\frac{1}{1837}\\\\\frac{K_A}{Q}=5.444\times10^{-4}

Hence,Kp/Ktot is 5.444x10^(-4)
