A uniform meter stick is pivoted at the 50.00 cm mark on the meter stick. A 400.0 gram object is hung at the 20.0 cm mark on the

stick and a 320.0 gram object is hung at the 75.0 cm mark. Drawing is approximate. The meter stick is unbalanced. Determine the cm-mark on the meterstick that a 400 gram object needs to be hung to achieve equilibrium. A) 10.0 B) 40.0 C) 60.0 D) 90.0 E) none of the above is within 10% of my answer

Answer:C

Explanation:

Given

mass m_1=400\ gm is at x=20\ cm mark

mass m_2=320\ gm is at x=75\ cm mark

Scale is Pivoted at x=50\ cm mark

For scale to be in equilibrium net torque must be equal to zero

Taking ACW as positive thus

T_{net}=0.4\times g\times (0.5-0.2)-0.32\times g\times(0.75-0.50)

T_{net}=0.12g-0.08g=0.04g

Therefore a net torque of 0.04 g is required in CW sense which a mass 400\ gm can provide at a distance of x_o from pivot

0.04g=0.4\times g\times x_o

x_o=0.1\ m

therefore in meter stick it is at a distance of x=60\ cm

A wheel has a rotational inertia of 16 kgm2. Over an interval of 2.0 s its angular velocity increases from 7.0 rad/s to 9.0 rad/
german

Answer:

<h2>128.61 Watts</h2>

Explanation:

Average power done by the torque is expressed as the ratio of the workdone by the toque to time.

Power = Workdone by torque/time

Workdone by the torque = \tau \theta = I\alpha * \theta

I is the rotational inertia = 16kgm²

\theta = angular\ displacement

\theta = 2 rev = 12.56 rad

\alpha \ is \ the\ angular\ acceleration

To get the angular acceleration, we will use the formula;

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f^2- \omega_i^2}{2\theta}

\alpha = \frac{9.0^2- 7.0^2}{2(12.54)}\\\alpha = 1.28\ rad/s^{2}

Workdone by the torque = 16 * 1.28 * 12.56

Workdone by the torque = 257.23 Joules

Average power done by the torque = Workdone by torque/time

=  257.23/2.0

= 128.61 Watts

Consider a sphere and a cylinder of equal volume made of copper. Both the sphere and the cylinder are initially at the same temp
zepelin [54]

Answer: The cylinder

Explanation:

Among all other solid shapes, the sphere has the smallest area for a given volume.

By experiment, the ratio of the radius of a sphere to a cylinder of equal volume is less than 1.

Recall;

That the Rate of transfer of convective heat (Q) = h × A ×change in temperature.

Where ,

h= the co efficient of convective heat transfer

A= the cross sectional area.

As such, since the sphere has a smaller surface area relative to the cylinder, the sphere transfers heat slower than the cylinder.

Therefore, if the sphere and cylinder are exposed to convection in the same environment, then, the cylinder cools faster.

PS; the more the Area, the higher the rate of heat transfer and vice versa.

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space
agasfer [191]
Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.

Yung's experiment is performed with light of wavelength 502 nm from excited helium atoms. Fringes are measured carefully on a sc
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

1.082 mm

Explanation:

From the question, we can see that we were given The following

Wavelength of the atoms, λ = 502 nm = 502*10^-9 m

Radius of the screen away from the double slit, r = 1.1 m

We know that Y(20) = 10.2 mm = 10.2*10^-3 m

d = (20 * R * λ) / Y(20)

d = (20 * 1.1 * 502*10^-9)/10.2*10^-3

d = 1.1*10^-5 / 10.2*10^-3

d = 1.082 mm

Therefore, we can say that the distance of separation between the two slits is 1.082 mm
