suppose you had a beam that is 1.51.5m in length and you place a fulcrum .25.25m from the left end of the beam (assume the beam

is massless). you have a block of mass 77kg and you place it .3.3m from the right end of the beam. what is the torque on the beam?

The torque on the beam calculated from the principle of moments is 68 N to the right.

<h3>What is the torque on the beam?</h3>

The torque on the beam is calculated using the principle of moments.

The principle of moments states that the sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments about a fixed point for a system in equilibrium.

Moment = force * perpendicular distance from the fulcrum

Taking the left end of the beam as the anticlockwise direction ad the right end of the beam as the clockwise direction:

Anticlockwise moment = F * (0.75 - 0.25)

Where F is the balancing force

Anticlockwise moment = 0.5f

Clockwise moment = (0.77 * 9.8) * (0.75 - 0.3)

Clockwise moment = 34 J

0.5 F = 34

F = 68 N

Hence, torque is 68 N

Which statement best explains the difference between light waves traveling through a vacuum and light waves traveling through a
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The statement which best explains the difference between the light waves travelling through a vaccuum and light waves travelling through a medium  is -"<u>When light waves travel through a vacuum, they travel faster than when they travel through a medium."</u>

Explanation:

Light waves are faster in vacuum because The refractive index of vacuum is the lowest since there is no barrier in the way of light propagation in vacuum. Demonstrate that the maximum speed of light in vacuum.

In a vacuum, light flies at 186,283 mph. Light flies at 186,200 mph in the air, or 56 mph slower. In another medium, such as water, light travels at 139,712 mph, or around 3/4 of the speed of light in a vacuum.

<u>LIGHT WAVES -: </u> Light waves are a form of electromagnetic wave that includes both visible and invisible to the naked eye wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. The average human eye can see light with wavelengths ranging from 390 to 700 nanometers, or nm.

Forms of light waves comprises of Radio waves , microwaves , infrared waves , visible light etc.

a toy dart gun has a spring with k=128 N/m. a kid pulls back on the spring with a 8.22 N force. how far does it stretch?(unit=m)
german

Answer:

0.064 m

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched/compressed, the force exerted in the spring is related to the elongation of the spring by the equation:

F=kx

where:

F is the force applied

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching/compression of the spring

In this problem, we have:

F=8.22 N is the force applied by the kid on the spring

k = 128 N/m is the spring constant

Solving for x, we find how far the spring stretches:

x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{8.22}{128}=0.064 m

What are the assumptions on which the cosmological principle is based?.
prisoha [69]
Homogeneity and isotropy, On large enough scales, the Universe looks pretty much the same in all directions. The big bang theory is based on two assumptions: the first is centered around Einstein's general theory of relativity, which accurately describes gravity and the interactions of matter; and the second, also known as the cosmological principle, asserts that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on a large enough scale.

Hope this helps!

If all the stars in an elliptical galaxy traveled random directions in their orbits, the elliptical galaxy would be type
Lemur [1.5K]

The answer would be E7. Galaxies categorized as E0 look to be nearly perfect, while those registered as E7 seem much extended than they are widespread. It is worth noting, though, that a galaxy's look is connected to how it lies on the sky when viewed from Earth. An E7 galaxy is very long and thin or the flattest of them all.
