While on a camping trip, a man would like to carry water from the lake to his campsite. He fills two, non‑identical buckets with

water and attaches them to a 1.43 m long rod. Since the buckets are not identical, he finds that the rod balances about a point located at a 5.59 cm from its midpoint. Which bucket holds more water?

Answer:

The bucket  located in the direction opposite of displacement of the rod for balancing will be heavier.

Explanation:

Moment of a force is directly proportional to it's distance from the point about which rotation takes place. In the given case the man increases the lever arm(distance from point of rotation of the force) to balance the moment of the lighter bucket. Thus in the direction of the increase the lighter bucket will be placed.

Which force changes the lithosphere by building up the surface?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

The volcanic eruptions are the ones that manage to cause changes to the lithosphere by building up new material on the surface. Through the volcanic eruptions we have release of pyroclastic material on the surface, and more importantly and in much higher amount lava flows. The lava flows quickly cool off on the surface on the Earth, and as they do they pile up new layers of igneous rocks, thus new crust on the surface of the Earth, causing changes on the lithosphere and shaping it for the foreseeable future.

Kay [80]
<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

A sailboat starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.21 m/s^2 over a distance of 280 m. find the magnitude of the boat's f
sasho [114]

We use the kinematic equations,

v=u+at                                          (A)

S= ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2                  (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Given,  u=0, a=0.21 \ m/s^2 and s= 280 m.

Substituting these values in equation (B), we get

280 \ m = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (0.21 m/s^2) t^2 \\\\ t^2 = \frac{280 \times 2}{0.21 } \\\\ t= 51.63 \ s.

Therefore from equation (A),

v = 0 + (0.21) \times (51.63 s)= 10.84 \ m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and the time taken by boat to travel the distance 280 m is 51.63 s

Whipple is confused about the connection between the velocity and acceleration of the tennis ball. he decides to compare the vel
tamaranim1 [39]

The speed of the ball is always zero and the acceleration is always -g when it reaches the top of its motion. This is because when the ball is free, only gravity acts on it which is always downwards, hence g is the net acceleration and it is always negative. However the velocity does not direction change instantly, negative acceleration first slows down the ball with a positive velocity, until that point the ball keeps moving up, then the ball velocity becomes zero just before changing direction and becoming negative after which the ball will now go down along gravity. Hence the ball velocity is zero at the top (neither going up nor down). Mathematically this can be seen as velocity is the integration of acceleration.

9ma electric current is flowing through a conducting wire , then the number of electron passing through it in 3 min is
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

1.0125 x 10^19

Explanation:

current flowing through conductive wire= 9mA = 9 x 10^ -3 A

charge passing per 3 min

Q = It

= 9 x 10^ -3 x (3 x 60)

= 1.620 C

no of electrons in charge

Q = ne

1.620 = n x 1.6 x 10 ^ -19

n. = 1.0125 x 10 ^19
