If the book is placed in the middle, the forces acting on <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> is 5N. If the book is moved 50 cm from <em>q</em>, the forces at <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> can be solved by doing a moment balance

<u>With </u><u><em>p</em></u><u> as the pivot;</u>

Fq (2 m) = 10 N (0.5 m)

Fq = 2.5 N

Fp = 10 N - 2.5 N = 7.5 N

Think about it: suppose a meteorite collided head-on with mars and becomes buried under mars's surface. what would be the elasti
Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

A man pushes a drum of oil 10kg up an incline OA. If OA is 5m and AB is 3m, what is the potential energy of the drum at A.​
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

294 Joules

Explanation:

From the question;

  • Mass of the drum is 10 kg
  • The length of inclined surface, OA is 5 m
  • The final height of the drum on the plane AB is 3 m

We are required to determine the potential energy of the drum at A

We know that potential energy is given by the formula;

Potential energy = mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational pull and h is the height

Taking g as 9.8 N/kg

Then;

Potential energy = 10 kg × 9.8 N/kg × 3 m

                            = 294 Joules

Thus, the potential energy of the drum at A is 294 Joules

As a blacksmith heats a piece of iron, the iron glows red, then yellow, then white. The iron provides a demonstration of which p
Nitella [24]
The answer is D. Blackbody radiation. The piece of iron glows red because its temperature is around 1000 K, then yellow because its temperature is around 2800 K, and then white because its temperature is around 5500K. This shows that the spectrum of the radiation is determined by absolute temperature, as when the temperature of a blackbody radiator increases, the peak of the radiation curve moves to shorter wavelengths.
