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.

By considering action-reacton forces,identify why water rises up a thin capillary tube
netineya [11]

The forces of attraction between water molecules and the glass walls and within the molecules of water themselves are what enable the water to rise in a thin tube immersed in water.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Surface or interfacial forces lead to capillarity. The forces of attraction between the water molecules and the glass walls and among the water molecules themselves are what causes the water in a thin tube submerged in water to rise.

Hence, the water rises up a thin capillary tube can be explained by Newton's third law.

To learn more about the force refer to the link;

Why are some forces considered to be noncontact forces? A. Objects must be far apart in order to exert a force. B. Objects do no
kompoz [17]

Answer:

B. Objects do not have to touch each other to experience a force.

Explanation:

For example ..One of the noncontact forces is magnetic force whereby a magnetic object will be attracted to another magnetic object of oppsite charged particles, through waves called electromagnetic waves. On the other hand, the two magnetic objects of similar charged particles can repel through electromagnetic waves..

your friend sit in a sked in the snow. if you apply a force of 120 N to them, they have an acceleration of 1.3 m/s2. what is the
levacccp [35]
Need to know the equation for force
F=MA
F is force
M is mass- we need to know the mass
A is acceleration
use "x" for mass
120 N= 1.3x
divide 1.3 in both side
kg unit for mass
X=92.31 kg 
or 
mass = 92.31 kg
Hope this helps
