Two masses hang below a massless meter stick. Mass 1 is located at the 10cm mark with a weight of 15kg, while mass 2 is located

at the 60cm mark with a weight of 30kg. At what point in between the two masses must the string be attached in order to balance the system?

Answer:43.33 cm mark

Explanation:

Given

mass 1 is located at the 10 cm mark with weight of 15 kg

mass 2 is located at 60 cm mark with weight of 30 kg

string should be attached between them to balance the system

so the distance between the the two masses is 50 cm

For system to be balance torque of both the weight must nullify each other

Let us suppose string is at a distance of x cm from 15 kg mass so 30 kg mass is at a distance of 50-x cm

Balancing torque

15\times x-30\times (50-x)

x=\frac{100}{3}=33.33

so string should be at a mark of 10+33.33=43.33 cm

Dovator [93]

Answer:

57 eV

Explanation:

d = separation between the plates = 4.9 mm = 0.0049 m

\Delta V = Potential difference between the plates = 57 Volts

q = magnitude of charge on proton = 1 e

K = Kinetic energy of the proton

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy lost = Electric potential energy gained

K = q \Delta V\\K = (1 e) (57 )\\K = 57 eV

A research group at Dartmouth College has developed a Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System that can be used to collect data about
Olin [163]

Answer:

6.05 cm

Explanation:

The given equation is

2 aₓ(x-x₀)=( Vₓ²-V₀ₓ²)

The initial head velocity V₀ₓ =11 m/s

The final head velocity  Vₓ is 0

The accelerationis given by =1000 m/s²

the stopping distance = x-x₀=?

So we can wind the stopping distance by following formula

2 (-1000)(x-x₀)=[0^{2} -11^{2}]

x-x₀=6.05*10^{-2} m

       =6.05 cm

A 6.0-cm-diameter, 11-cm-long cylinder contains 100 mg of oxygen (O2) at a pressure less than 1 atm. The cap on one end of the c
g100num [7]

Explanation:

The given data  is as follows.

Mass of oxygen present = 100 mg = 100 \times 10^{-3} g

So, moles of oxygen present are calculated as follows.

      n = \frac{100 \times 10^{-3}}{32}

         = 3.125 \times 10^{-3} moles

Diameter of cylinder = 6 cm = 6 \times 10^{-2} m

                              = 0.06 m

Now, we will calculate the cross sectional area (A) as follows.

    A = \pi \times \frac{(0.06)^{2}}{4}

        = 2.82 \times 10^{-3} m^{2}

Length of tube = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Hence, volume (V) = 2.82 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.11

                              = 3.11 \times 10^{-4} m^{3}

Now, we assume that the inside pressure is P .

And,   P_{atm} = 100 kPa = 100000 Pa,

Pressure difference = 100000 - P

Hence, force required to open is as follows.

      Force = Pressure difference × A

                = (100000 - P) \times 2.82 \times 10^{-3}

We are given that force is 173 N.

Thus,

         (100000 - P) \times 2.82 \times 10^{-3} = 173

Solving we get,

          P = 3.8650 \times 10^{4} Pa

            = 38.65 kPa

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

So, we will put the values into the above formula as follows.

                PV = nRT

    38.65 \times 3.11 \times 10^{-4} = 3.125 \times 10^{-3} \times 8.314 \times T

                    T = 462.66 K

Thus, we can conclude that temperature of the gas is 462.66 K.

Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1.00 µg are floating in empty space, far from an
Igoryamba

Answer:

This is a conceptual problem so I will try my best to explain the impossible scenario. First of all the two dust particles ara virtually exempt from any external forces and at rest with respect to each other. This could theoretically happen even if it's difficult for that to happen. The problem is that each of the particles have an electric charge which are equal in magnitude and sign. Thus each particle should feel the presence of the other via a force. The forces felt by the particles are equal and opposite facing away from each other so both charges have a net acceleration according to Newton's second law because of the presence of a force in each particle:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Having seen Newton's second law it should be clear that the particles are actually moving away from each other and will not remain at rest with respect to each other. This is in contradiction with the last statement in the problem.
