A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point

) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance ????=0.211 m from the rock, which has a mass of 325 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight.
If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 695 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length L of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner\'s force are both essentially vertical.

Answer:

1.17894 m

Explanation:

The rock is at one end of the rod which is 0.211 m from the fulcrum

F = Force

d = Distance

L = Length of rod

M = Mass of rock = 325 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Torque

\tau=F\times d

Torque of man

\tau_m=F(L-d)\\\Rightarrow \tau_m=695(L-0.211)

Torque of rock

\tau_r=Mg\times d\\\Rightarrow \tau=325\times 9.81\times 0.211\\\Rightarrow \tau=672.72075\ Nm

The torques acting on the system is conserved

\tau_m=\tau_r\\\Rightarrow 695(L-0.211)=672.72075\\\Rightarrow L-0.211=\frac{672.72075}{695}\\\Rightarrow L-0.211=0.96794\\\Rightarrow L=0.96794+0.211\\\Rightarrow L=1.17894\ m

The length of the rod is 1.17894 m

A bar magnet is dropped from above and falls through the loop of wire. The north pole of the bar magnet points downward towards
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

<em>b. The current in the loop always flows in a counterclockwise direction.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

When a magnet falls through a loop of wire, it induces an induced current on the loop of wire. This induced current is due to the motion of the magnet through the loop, which cause a change in the flux linkage of the magnet. According to Lenz law, the induced current acts in such a way as to repel the force or action that produces it. For this magnet, the only opposition possible is to stop its fall by inducing a like pole on the wire loop to repel its motion down. An induced current that flows counterclockwise in the wire loop has a polarity that is equivalent to a north pole on a magnet, and this will try to repel the motion of the magnet through the coil. Also, when the magnet goes pass the wire loop, this induced north pole will try to attract the south end of the magnet, all in a bid to stop its motion downwards.

Explanation:

The position vector r:

\overrightarrow{r(t)}=lcos\theta\hat{i}+lsin\theta\hat{j}

The velocity vector v:

\overrightarrow{v(t)}=\overrightarrow{\frac{dr}{dt}}=\dot{l}cos\theta-lsin\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{i}+\dot{l}sin\theta+lcos\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{j}

The acceleration vector a:

\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=cos\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)-sin\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})\hat{i}+cos\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})+sin\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)\hat{j}

\overrightarrow{v(t)}=0.13\hat{i}+0.18\hat{j}

\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=-0.3\hat{i}-0.1\hat{j}

How do Leeuwenhoek’s observations of animalcules compare to Hooke’s observations of cells in the cork?
fomenos

Answer:

Robert Hooke

Was the first to use the word "cell"

Observed cork cells

Anton van Leeuwenhoek

Observed "animalcules"

Used polished lens .

Explanation:

Anton van Leeuwenhoek is known as father of microbiology. He is credited to improve the quality of lens in microscope. His first observation of organisms called animalcules.

He is credited to have build microscope that could get magnified by 200 times. He used word animalcules for small organisms from pond water when first observed in microscope. He discovered protozoa and named it animalcules".

Robert Hooke is famed for discovering cell from a cork of plant. He observed a compartment or honey comb like divisions when observed these cork cells under the microscope and named it cell. He was only able to see the cell wall as the cork cells are dead cells.

If the volume of an object is reported as 5.0 ft3 what is the volume in cubic meters
12345 [234]
The problem statement is simply asking us to convert units. We convert from units of ft^3 to units of m^3. To do this, we need a conversion factor. For this case, we use 1 m is equal to 3.28084 ft. We do as follows:

5.0 ft^3 ( 1 m / 3.28084 ft )^3 = 0.1416 m^3
