Answer:

option D.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D.

When an object is in equilibrium torque calculated at any point will be equal to zero.

An object is said to be in equilibrium net moment acting on the body should be equal to zero.

If the net moment on the object is not equal to zero then the object will rotate it will not be stable.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

When a an object is been rotated its resistance capacity to that rotational force is know as rotational inertia and this mathematically given as

$I = mr^2$

Where m is the mass

r is the rotation radius

For the spinning of the lamp as a baton to work the location of the center of mass of the floor lamp needs to be located

This is more likely to be located closer to base of the lamp as compared to the top, so success of spinning a floor lamp like a baton is highly likely if the lamp is grabbed closer to the base because that is where the position of its center of mass is likely to be.

A 2.70 kg cat is sitting on a windowsill. The cat is sleeping peacefully until a dog barks at him. Startled, the cat falls from

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The speed of the cat when it hits the ground is approximately 7.586 meters per second.

Explanation:

By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem, we have that initial potential gravitational energy of the cat ( $U_{g}$ ), in joules, is equal to the sum of the final translational kinetic energy ( $K$ ), in joules, and work losses due to air resistance ( $W_{l}$ ), in joules:

$U_{g} = K +W_{l}$ (1)

By definition of potential gravitational energy, translational kinetic energy and work, we expand the equation presented above:

$m \cdot g\cdot h = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}+W_{l}$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the cat, in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

$h$ - Initial height of the cat, in meters.

$v$ - Final speed of the cat, in meters per second.

If we know that $m = 2.70\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $h = 5.20\,m$ and $W_{l} = 120\,J$ , then the final speed of the cat is:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (m\cdot g\cdot h-W_{l})}{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{2\cdot g\cdot h-\frac{W_{l}}{m} }$

$v \approx 7.586\,\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the cat when it hits the ground is approximately 7.586 meters per second.

An electric dipole with dipole moment p⃗ is in a uniform electric field E⃗ . A. Find all the orientation angles of the dipole me

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) When a dipole is placed in an electric field , it experiences a torque equal to the following

torque = p x E = p E sinθ , where θ is angle between direction of p and E .

It will be zero if θ = 0

or if both p and E are oriented in the same direction.

It is the stable orientation of dipole.

If θ = 180° ,

Torque = 0

In this case both p and E are oriented in opposite direction .

It is the unstable orientation of the dipole because if we deflect the dipole by even small angle , it goes back to most stable orientation due to torque acting on it by electric field.

A girl pushes an 18.15 kg wagon with a force of 3.63 N. what is the acceleration?

Anton [14]

Divide the force given by mass and you will find the acceleration of the object :-

F = m × a

3.63 = 18.15 × a

3.63 = 18.15a

a = 3.63/18.15

a = 0.2 m/s^2

hope it helps!
