Answer:

Torque, \tau=588\ N-m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.6 m

Mass of the wrench, m = 100 kg

We know that the torque applied by mechanic is given by :

\tau=Fl

\tau=mgl

\tau=100\times 9.8\times 0.6

\tau=588\ N-m

So, the torque applied by the mechanic is 588 N-m. Hence, this is the required solution.

arlik [135]
The working equation for this one is:

E = F/Q, where E is the strength of the electric field, F is the electric force and Q is the charge. Substituting the corresponding values, the strength of the electric field is equal to

E = -30 nN/-3 nC
E = 10 nN/nC

Maru [420]

Answer:

-5.1 kg m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is the change in momentum.

Change in momentum= final momentum - initial momentum=mv_{2} +mv_{1}

Plugging in the values= -0.15*24 - (0.15*10) (The motion towards the pitcher is negative as the initial motion is considered to be positive)

Impulse=-5.1 kg m/s (-ve means that it is the impulse towards the pitcher)

B) Explain the method of preparing electromagnet. How do you test the
kap26 [50]

Answer:

An electromagnet is made by forming a coil around a soft iron bar (known here as the metal) such as a nail or  screw and connect with an insulated copper wire (known here as the electric current conductor) the ends of the wound copper is then connected separately to the positive and negative terminals of a battery (known here as the source of electric current)

The north seeking needle of the magnetic compass will move away when brought close to the north pole of the formed electromagnet which can then be labelled N

The magnetic compass needle will be attracted to the south pole of the electromagnet which can then be labelled S

Explanation:

An electromagnet is an electric powered magnet that is formed (temporarily) by the perpendicular movement of electric current with respect to a metal core

The magnitude and the poles of an electromagnet can be changed by changing the magnitude and the direction of flow of the electric current respectively.

trapecia [35]

<span>The scientific investigation has  five basic steps and one feedback step: (1) to make an observation (2) to ask a question (3) hypothesize (4) predict and (5) make a new hypothesis based on the results.  What is unusual about the description of Elyse’s scientific investigation is she did not follow the basic steps. She should have done observation first before asking a question and forming a hypothesis. </span>
