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.

What is the velocity of an object with a kinetic energy of 800 J and a mass of 12 kg?

Elis [28]

K.E = 1/2 mv²

800 = 1/2 ×12 ×v²

800 = 6 v²

800 / 6 = v²

= 133.4 =v²

√133.4 = √v²

11.5 = v²

I hope this answer is correct.

Describe the position of the sun, moon, and earth during a new moon and a full moon.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

* he new moon phase when the position is Sun - Moon - Earth,

* have of the Full Moon when the position is Sun - Earth - Moon,

*All the phases of the moon are governed by the movement of the Moon around the Earth.

Explanation:

In the solar system, the planets revolve around the sun, which is much more massive, in the case of the Earth it is more massive than its satellite, therefore the Moon revolves around the Earth in a period of approximately 28 days.

It is said that the moon is in the new moon phase when the position is Sun - Moon - Earth, so the moon cannot be seen

It is in the phase of the Full Moon when the position is

Sun - Earth - Moon, in this case the moon can be observed by the light reflected from it.

All the phases of the moon are governed by the movement of the Moon around the Earth.

These are equal and opposite forces that do not cause a change in position or motion. True or False

Contact [7]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Balance forces are usually defined as the two distinct force that acts on an object but in opposite directions. These two acting forces are equal in size or magnitude. When this type of force is applied on any object, it signifies that the object is stationary or it is moving at a constant speed and in the same direction.

This force is comprised of two most important properties namely the strength and direction. When any of the two forces is higher then it result in the motion of the object.

Thus, the above given statement is TRUE.

A power supply has an open-circuit voltage of 40.0 V and an internal resistance of 2.00 V. It is used to charge two storage batt

Natali [406]

Complete Question

A power supply has an open-circuit voltage of 40.0 V and an internal resistance of 2.00 $\Omega$ . It is used to charge two storage batteries connected in series, each having an emf of 6.00 V and internal resistance of 0.300 $\Omega$ . If the charging current is to be 4.00 A, (a) what additional resistance should be added in series? At what rate does the internal energy increase in (b) the supply, (c) in the batteries, and (d) in the added series resistance? (e) At what rate does the chemical energy increase in the batteries?

Answer:

a

The additional resistance is $R_z = 4.4 \Omega$

b

The rate at which internal energy increase at the supply is $Z_1 = 32 W$

c

The rate at which internal energy increase in the battery is $Z_1 = 32 W$

d

The rate at which internal energy increase in the added series resistance is $Z_3 = 70.4 W$

e

the increase rate of the chemically energy in the battery is $C = 48 W$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The open circuit voltage is $V = 40.0V$

The internal resistance is $R = 2 \Omega$

The emf of each battery is $e = 6.00 V$

The internal resistance of the battery is $r = 0.300V$

The charging current is $I = 4.00 \ A$

Let assume the the additional resistance to to added to the circuit is $R_z$

So this implies that

The total resistance in the circuit is

$R_T = R + 2r +R_z$

Substituting values

$R_T = 2.6 +R_z$

And the difference in potential in the circuit is

$E = V -2e$

=> $E = 40 - (2 * 6)$

$E = 28 V$

Now according to ohm's law

$I = \frac{E}{R_T}$

Substituting values

$4 = \frac{28}{R_z + 2.6}$

Making $R_z$ the subject of the formula

So $R_z = \frac{28 - 10.4}{4}$

$R_z = 4.4 \Omega$

The increase rate of internal energy at the supply is mathematically represented as

$Z_1 = I^2 R$

Substituting values

$Z_1 = 4^2 * 2$

$Z_1 = 32 W$

The increase rate of internal energy at the batteries is mathematically represented as

$Z_2 = I^2 r$

Substituting values

$Z_2 = 4^2 * 2 * 0.3$

$Z_2 = 9.6 \ W$

The increase rate of internal energy at the added series resistance is mathematically represented as

$Z_3 = I^2 R_z$

Substituting values

$Z_3 = 4^2 * 4.4$

$Z_3 = 70.4 W$

Generally the increase rate of the chemically energy in the battery is mathematically represented as

$C = 2 * e * I$

Substituting values

$C = 2 * 6 * 4$

$C = 48 W$
