Two objects are placed on a scale so that it balances. One object weighs 5 N and is placed 0.5 m from the fulcrum of the scale.

The other object is placed 1 m from the fulcrum. How heavy is the other object?

The weight of the other object placed 1 m from the fulcrum that balances the other object is 2.5 N.

<h3>Principle of moment</h3>

The weight of the second object is determined by applying principle of moment as shown below;

take moment about the pivot,

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment

F₁r₁ = F₂r₂

5 x 0.5 = F₂ x 1

2.5 N = F₂

Thus, the weight of the other object placed 1 m from the fulcrum that balances the other object is 2.5 N.

If a substance is changing from a vapor to a liquid, like steam on a mirror, it is said to be _______.
NARA [144]

Answer:

condensing

Explanation:

Condensing is the word used to indicate the change of state of a substance from vapor to liquid, as in this case. During condensation, the substance releases thermal energy to the environment, therefore the kinetic energy of the molecules in the vapor decreases until they become closer to each other and they start to be affected by the intermolecular forces and so the substance becomes a liquid.

Over a time interval of 1.99 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +20.7 km/
madam [21]

Answer:

(a) - 42700 m/s

(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s

Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s

time, t = 1.99 years

Convert velocities into m/s and time into second

So, u = 20700 m / s

v = - 22000 m/s

t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second

(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

  = - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s

(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

                     = ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Frank says that quantum mechanics does not apply to baseballs because they do not jump from quantum state to quantum state when
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

They are correct

Explanation:

According to the uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an object is directly proportional to its De Broglie wavelength.

The De Broglie wavelength of a baseball is about 10^{-34}m, recall that the diameter of the atom is about to 10^{-10}m. Thus, the error in simultaneously determining the position and momentum of a baseball is infinitesimally small.
