Explain why it is more difficult to balance a nail on its tip than on its base.

Physics

Westkost [7]2 years ago

It is much easier to balance a thing that has a large base of support and a low center of gravity. The object won't topple over as a result of little center of gravity wobble because of the wide base and low center of gravity. Therefore, balancing a nail on its base as opposed to its tip would be simpler.

Answer:

The solution(s) are in order with respect to the attachments

2.613\:\cdot10^5 Joules ; 5. Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature ; 2. Same speed in both ; 2. A

Explanation:

Diagram 1 ( Liquid Nitrogen ) : So as you can see, we want our units in Joules here, and can therefore multiply the mass of gaseous nitrogen and the latent heat of liquid nitrogen, to cancel the units kg, and receive our solution - in terms of Joules. Let's do it.

q ( energy removed ) = mass of nitrogen * latent heat of liquid nitrogen,

q = 1.3 kg * 2.01 * 10⁵ J / kg = 1.3\:\cdot \:2.01\:\cdot \:\:10^5 = 10^5\cdot \:2.613 = 100000\cdot \:2.613 = 261300 Joules = 261.3 kiloJoules = 2.613 * 10⁵Joules is the energy that must be removed

Diagram 2 : The same amount of heat does not necessarily mean the same increase in temperature for two different objects. The increase in temperature depends on the specific heat capacity of the substance. Therefore your solution is 5 ) Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature.

Diagram 3 : The temperatures in both glasses are the same, and hence the molecules have the same average speed. Therefore your solution is 2 ) Same speed in both.

Diagram 4 : Glass A has more water molecules, and hence has more thermal energy. Your solution is 2 ) A.

Transverse waves are generally stronger than longitudinal waves. True or False ?
kondaur [170]
False
If all other factors, such as medium, are kept the same, longitudinal waves tend to be stronger.

A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 450 feet per second at an angle of 70° with the horizontal.
pav-90 [236]
<h2>After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 450 ft/s = 137.16 m/s

Angle, θ = 70°

Consider the vertical motion of projectile,

When the projectile return to the ground we have

           Displacement, s = 0 m

           Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

            Initial velocity, u = 137.16 x sin70 = 128.89 m/s

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5 at²

                s = ut + 0.5 at²

                0 = 128.89 x t + 0.5 x (-9.81) x t²

                t² - 26.28 t = 0

                t ( t- 26.28) = 0

               t = 0 s or t = 26.28 s

After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.
