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.

The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The water will flow at a speed of 3,884 m/s

Explanation:

Torricelli's equation

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

*v = liquid velocity at the exit of the hole

g = gravity acceleration

h = distance from the surface of the liquid to the center of the hole.

v = $\sqrt{2*9,8m/s^2*0,77m}$ = 3,884 m/s

An electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) can produce a shock of up to 600 V and a current of 1 A for a duration of 2 ms, which

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

$2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

6000

1.2 J

$3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

Explanation:

I = Current = 1 A

t = Time = 2 ms

n = Number of electrocyte

V = Voltage = 100 mV

Charge is given by

$Q=It\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

The charge flowing through the electrocytes in that amount of time is $2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

The maximum potential is given by

$V_m=nV\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{V_m}{V}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{600}{100\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow n=6000$

The number of electrolytes is 6000

Energy is given by

$E=Pt\\\Rightarrow E=V_mIt\\\Rightarrow E=600\times 1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.2\ J$

The energy released when the electric eel delivers a shock is 1.2 J

Equivalent capacitance is given by

$C_e=\dfrac{Q}{V_m}\\\Rightarrow C_e=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-3}}{600}\\\Rightarrow C_e=3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

The equivalent capacitance of all the electrocyte cells in the electric eel is $3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

A 900-kg car traveling east at 15.0 m/s collides with a 750-kg car traveling north at 20.0 m/s. The cars stick together. Assume

dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car 1, $m_1=900\ kg$

Initial speed of car 1, $u_1=15i\ m/s$ (east)

Mass of the car 2, $m_2=750\ kg$

Initial speed of car 2, $u_1=20j\ m/s$ (north)

(b) As the cars stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Let V is the common speed after the collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V$
