A student is asked to describe the path of a paper airplane that is thrown in the classroom. Which statement best describes the

path of the paper airplane?
1. The paper airplane will move in a straight line, according to Newton’s first law of motion.
2. The paper airplane will drop straight to the ground once its inertia gives in to the force of gravity.
3. The paper airplane will create a curved path toward the floor as it is pulled toward Earth’s center.
4. The paper airplane will orbit around the desk because it is the object with the largest mass in the room.

Answer: The paper airplane will create a curved path towards the floor as it is pulled toward <u><em>Earth's center.</em></u>

Explanation: The paper airplane will be pulled to the center because <u><em>Earth has a much greater mass than objects on its surface.</em></u> And it will curve because of the amount of <u><em>force</em></u> you are putting onto the plane.

A long thin uniform rod of length 1.50 m is to be suspended from a frictionless pivot located at some point along the rod so tha
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.087 m

Explanation:

Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m

Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.

time period, T = 3  s

the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}}    .... (1)

where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12

By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is

I = Ic + md²

I = \frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}

Substituting the values in equation (1)

3 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}}{mgd}}

9=4\pi^{2}\times \left ( \frac{\frac{L^{2}}{12}+d^{2}}{gd} \right )

12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 =  0

d=\frac{26.84\pm \sqrt{26.84^{2}-4\times 12\times 2.25}}{24}

d=\frac{26.84\pm 24.75}{24}

d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m

d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.

Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.

A 2.0 g metal cube and a 4.0 g metal cube are 6.0 cm apart, measured between their centers, on a horizontal surface. For both, t
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

a) t=10.2s

b) The 2g-cube moves first

Explanation:

Since the electric force is the same on both cubes and so is the coefficient of static friction, the first one to move will be the one with less mass.

So, on the 2g-cube the sum of forces are:

\left \{ {{Ff-Fe=0} \atop {N-m*g=0}} \right.

Replacing the friction on the first equation:

\mu*m*g-Fe=0  Thus   Fe=\mu*m*g=12.74*10^{-3}N

The electric force is:

Fe = \frac{K*q^2}{d^2}  Solving for q:

q=71.44nC

This amount divided by the rate at which they are being charged:

t = 71.44nC / 7nC/s = 10.2s

If the frequencies of two component waves are 24 Hz and 20 Hz, they should produce _______ beats per second.
horrorfan [7]
This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.

Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency

fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|

substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz

The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4

Before leaving the house in the morning, you plop some stew in your slow cooker and turn it on Low. The slow cooker has a 160 Oh
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Total charge flow through the cooker is 21600 C

Explanation:

As we know that the current flow through the cooker is given by Ohm's law

here it is given as

V = i R

i = \frac{V}{R}

i = \frac{120}{160}

i = \frac{3}{4} A

now the charge flow through it is given as

Q = i t

total time is t = 8 hours

Q = \frac{3}{4}(8 \times 60 \times 60)

Q = 21600 C

Rod A has twice the diameter of rod B, but both are made of iron and have the same initial length. Both rods are now subjected t
Vilka [71]

Answer:

ΔLa/ΔLb = 1

Explanation:

The change in length of a solid is given by the following formula:

ΔL = α L ΔT

where,

ΔL = Change in length

α = coefficient of linear expansion

L = Original Length

ΔT = Change in Temperature

Since, the length and change in temperature for both rods are same. Also, the material of each rod is same, which implies that coefficient of linear expansion for both rods is same. Hence, the ratio of change in length of both rods will be:

<u>ΔLa/ΔLb = 1</u>
