I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Absolute threshold refers to the lowest intensity at which a person can detect stimuli. It <span>is the smallest level of energy required by an external stimulus to be detectable by the human senses. Hope this answers the question.</span>

A woman makes 50% more than her husband. Together they make $2500 each month? How much does the woman earn each month?a) $950b)

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

Woman earn 50% more than her husband

Total sum of their money is $=\$ 2500$

Suppose man earns $\$ P$

so women earns $P+0.5 P=P(1+0.5)=1.5 P$

Sum of their money is

$P+1.5 P=2500$

$P=\$ 1000$

Women earns $=1.5\times 1000=\$ 1500$

Suppose we replace the mass in the video with one that is four times heavier. How far from the free end must we place the pivot

Llana [10]

We must place the pivot to keep the meter stick in balance at 90 cm (10 cm from the weight) from the free end.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In initial stage, the meter stick’s mass and mass hanged in meter stick at one end are same. Refer figure 1, the mater stick’s weight acts at the stick’s mid-point.

If in case, the meter stick is to be at balanced form, then the acting torques sum would be zero. So,

$m \times g \times(x)+((m \times g)(x-50 \mathrm{cm}))=0$

$(m \times g \times x)-(50 \times m \times g)+(m \times g \times x)=0$

Taking out ‘mg’ as common and we get

$2 x-50=0$

$2 x=50$

$x=\frac{50}{2}=25 \mathrm{cm}$

Hence, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of,

$x^{\prime}=100 \mathrm{cm}-25 \mathrm{cm}=75 \mathrm{cm}$

So, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of 75 cm at the free end

Now, replace mass with another mass. i.e., four times the initial mass (as given)

If in case, the meter stick is to be at balanced form, then the acting torques sum would be zero. So,

$4 m g(x)+(m g)(x-50 c m)=0$

$4 m g x+m g x-50 m g=0$

Taking out ‘mg’ as common and we get

$5 x=50$

$x=\frac{50}{5}=10 \mathrm{cm}$

Hence, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of,

$x^{\prime}=100 \mathrm{cm}-10 \mathrm{cm}=10 \mathrm{cm}$

So, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of 10 cm from the free end.

Therefore, the option B is correct 90 cm (10 cm from the weight).

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Darya [45]

Answer:

$y = -8.37 cm$

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of SHM is given as

$y = A cos(\omega t)$

here we know that

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

here we have

$T = 0.66 s$

now we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.66}$

$\omega = 3\pi$

now we have

$y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi t)$

now at t = 2.3 s we have

$y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi \times 2.3)$

$y = -8.37 cm$

A 0.305 kg book rests at an angle against one side of a bookshelf. The magnitude and direction of the total force exerted on the

tankabanditka [31]

Answer

given,

$F_L= 1.52\ N$

$\theta_L= 31^0$

mass of book = 0.305 Kg

so, from the diagram attached below

$F_L cos {\theta_L} + F_b sin {\theta_b} = m g$

$1.52 times cos {31^0} + F_b sin {\theta_b} = 0.305 \times 9.8$

$F_b sin {\theta_b} = 2.989 -1.303$

$F_b sin {\theta_b} = 1.686$

computing horizontal component

$F_b cos {\theta_b} = F_L sin {\theta_L}$

$cos {\theta_b} = \dfrac{F_L sin {\theta_L}}{F_b}$

$cos {\theta_b} = \dfrac{1.52 \times sin {31^0}}{1.686}$

$cos {\theta_b} = 0.464$

θ = 62.35°
