A ruler of length 0.30m is pivoted at its centre. Equal and opposite forces of magnitude 2.0N are applied to the ends of the rul

er, creating a couple which create an angle of 50o with the ruler. What is the magnitude of the torque of the couple on the ruler.

Answer:

0.3858 Nm

Explanation:

The torque of the couple is the dot product of the force vector and the couple vector from 1 end of the ruler to the center. This equals to the product of their magnitude times the cosine() of the angle made by their direction:

T = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} = Fscos(50^0) = 2 * 0.3 * 0.643 = 0.3858 Nm

When a 75 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? assume, for simplicity, that the stool
NeTakaya
First, let's find the total force exerted by the man on the stool.

F = mg
F = (75 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
F = 735.75 N

Next, we must know the maximum load the stool can take. Suppose, the it can take up to 700 N. Since each leg of the stool takes an equal amount of force, this is uniformly distributed. So, the solution is as follows:

Percentage = [(735.75- 700)/700]*100 =<em> 5.1%</em>

In a swimming meet, the swimmers swim a total of 8 laps of a 50-meter-long swimming pool. What is the distance traveled by a swi
N76 [4]

Answer:

The swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Explanation:

A lap is a round trip made by a swimmer in the pool, so that the distance traveled by swimmer is sixteen times the length of the swimming pool. That is:

s = \left(2\,\frac{travels}{lap} \right)\cdot \left(8\,laps \right)\cdot \left(50\,\frac{m}{travel}\right)

s = 800\,m

A swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The displacement is the distance between swimmer and a reference point, let suppose that reference point is located at the beginning of the first lap. Hence, the final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Superman used X-ray vision to detect objects. Aside from a source of X-rays, what else would be needed for X-ray vision?
Arada [10]

Answer:

an absorber of x-ray

Explanation:

To make x-ray detection/vision work, you will need at least two items: a source of x-ray and absorbed or x-ray.  

The object you want to see itself doesn't have to be the source, but it has to absorb some of the rays instead. When doing a chest x-ray test, the medical employee will put your chest between absorber and source. The heart can absorb some of the rays so it will appear more white than lungs who made of air and won't absorb the rays.
