So we want to know what the resultant force would be if on the lever the effort arm is as twice as long as the load arm. So in order for the lever to be in a state of balance it must be: F1*r1=F2*r2 where F1 is the effort arm and F2 is the load arm, r1 is the perpendicular distance from the force F1 to the pivot and r2 is the perpendicular distance from the force F2 to the pivot. For both sides of the equation to be equal, since r1=2*r2, F1*2*r2=F2*r2. Now we can divide by r2 and we get: 2F1=F2. When we divide by 2: F1=(1/2)*F2. So the force of the hand that is trying to lift the load is twice as small as the force of the load we are trying to lift.

The compass uses a pendulous system to improve?
ivanzaharov [21]

The compass is designed and developed to use a pendulous system to improve horizontality.

<h3>What is a compass?</h3>

A compass can be defined as a scientific instrument that contains a magnetized pointer, which is used to show and indicate the following four (4) main cardinal directions:

  • North (N)
  • South (S)
  • West (W)
  • East (E)

Basically, the compass is a scientific instrument that's designed and developed to use a pendulous system to improve horizontality.

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 92.1 m/s. The 55.6 kg pilot does not want his radial acceleration to
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

 r = 102.43 m

Explanation:

Newton's second law for this case is

              F = ma

Where the acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

            r = v² / a

They indicate that the radial acceleration is 8.45 g

           r = v² / 8.45 g.

           r = 92.1² / 8.45 9.8

           r = 102.43 m

A truck, initially at rest, rolls down a frictionless hill and attains a speed of 20 m/s at the bottom. To achieve a speed of 40
Crank

Answer:

To achieve the velocity of 40 m/sec height will become 4 times  

Explanation:

We have given initially truck is at rest and attains a speed of 20 m/sec

Let the mass of the truck is m

At the top of the hill potential energy is mgh and kinetic energy is \frac{1}{2}mv^2

So total energy at the top of the hill =mgh+0=mgh

At the bottom of the hill kinetic energy is equal to \frac{1}{2}mv^2 and potential energy will be 0

So total energy at the bottom of the hill is equal to 0+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Form energy conservation mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}, for v = 20 m/sec

20=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times h}

Squaring both side

19.6h=400

h = 20.408 m

Now if velocity is 0 m/sec

40=\sqrt{2gh}

19.6h=1600

h = 81.63 m

So we can see that to achieve the velocity of 40 m/sec height will become 4 times

Inga [223]
From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
                                           A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.
