Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)

80=5(50-x)

80=250-5x

5x=170

x=\frac{170}{5}

x=34 cm

Which statements describe the characteristics of asteroids? Check all that apply. formed 4.6 billion years ago orbit the Sun bey
choli [55]

Answer:

formed 4.6 billion years ago

orbit the Sun

range in size from a few feet to more than 500 miles across

most are found in the asteroid belt

Explanation:

Asteroids are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Asteroids are irregular is shape and size. The size varies from few feet to 500 miles across. Majority of the asteroids lie in asteroid belt which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These are though to be remains of unformed planet about 4.6 billion years ago due to high gravitational pull of Jupiter. The largest asteroid is Ceres which is also a dwarf planet. The mass of the entire asteroid belt is just 4% the  mass of the moon.

Two objects have masses m and 5m, respectively. They both are placed side by side on a frictionless inclined plane and allowed t
poizon [28]

Answer:

(E) The two objects reach the bottom of the incline at the same time.

Explanation:

Given;

first object with mass, m

second object with mass, 5m

The acceleration of gravity for both object is the same = 9.8 m/s²

Since both objects have the same acceleration of gravity, and no external force due friction (frictionless inclined plane), they will reach bottom of the inclined at the time.

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects regardless of their masses.

Therefore, the correct option is E;

(E) The two objects reach the bottom of the incline at the same time.

Which two pieces of data indicate that Uranus resides in the outer region of the solar system
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Our solar system has total eight planets out of which four are inner planets and four are outer planets. The four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The common characteristics of outer planets is that they are gaseous planets. They are larger on size than the inner rocky planets and are faraway from Sun. They have larger period of revolution around the Sun.

Uranus is a gaseous planet and lies far from Sun and hence has large period of revolution. It takes 84 Earth years to revolve around Sun. This data indicates that Uranus resides in the outer region of the Solar System.

Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.
