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

Natali [406]

Answer:

A) 0.0 kJ

Explanation:

Change in the internal energy of the gas is a state function

which means it will not depends on the process but it will depends on the initial and final state

Also we know that internal energy is a function of temperature only

so here the process is given as isothermal process in which temperature will remain constant always

here we know that

\Delta U = \frac{3}{2}nR\Delta T

now for isothermal process since temperature change is zero

so change in internal energy must be ZERO

In 1993, Ileana Salvador of Italy walked 3.0 km in under 12.0 min. Suppose that during 115 m of her walk Salvador is observed to
dexar [7]

Answer:

t = 25 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 115 m

Initial speed, u = 4.2 m/s

Final speed, v = 5 m/s

We need to find the time taken in increasing the speed.

We know that,

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{v-u}{t} ....(1)

The third equation of kinematics is as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\\text{Put the value of a in above equation}\\\\v^2-u^2=2\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times d\\\\\because (a^2-b^2)=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\(v-u)(v+u)=\dfrac{2\times (v-u)d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{2d}{v+u}\\\\\text{Putting all the values}\\\\t=\dfrac{2\times 115}{4.2+5}\\\\t=25\ s

Hence, it will take 25 seconds to increase the speed.

Which of the following characteristics of Earth's relationship to the Sun explains the existence of Earth's seasons? Choose all
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane.

Earth orbits around the Sun, completing one orbit each year

Explanation:

The earth tilt at an angle causes the sun rays to hit the earth surface around the globe differently. Due to the oblique angle that the rays hit the subtropics and poles, there is less heat intensity compared to the equator where the sun rays hit the earth's surface at a more or less right angle.

The earth rotation around the sun also causes seasons coupled with the earth’s tilts. As the earth rotates, in one point in the orbit, the northern or southern hemispheres will be tilted towards the sun. The phenomenon varies the local temperatures of particular regions of the earth hence driving seasonal climatic changes.

Compared to the resistivity of a 0.4-meter length of 1-millimeter-diameter copper wire at 0 degrees Celsius, the resistivity of
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Resistivity of both wires are same

Explanation:

Length of one wire,l_1=0.4 m

Diameter,d_1=1mm

Radius,r_1=\frac{d_1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}mm=0.5\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

l_2=0.8 m

d_2=1mm

r_2=0.5\times 10^{-3} m

Temperature in each case is same.

Area of each wire,A_1=A_2=A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.5\times 10^{-3})^2m^2

Resistivity is the property of material due to which it offers resistance to the flow of current.

Resistivity of material depends upon the temperature and material by which it is made.

It does not depends upon the length of object.

Therefore, the resistivity of both wires of different length  are same.
