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

Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

a projectile is lunched with an initial speed of 60.0mm/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal.The projectile lands on a hi
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

52 mm/s (approximately)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the projectile is, u=60.0\ mm/s

Angle of projection is, \theta=30.0\°

Time taken to land on the hill is, t=4\ s

In a projectile motion, there is acceleration only in the vertical direction which is equal to acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downward. There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

So, the velocity in the horizontal direction always remains the same.

The horizontal component of initial velocity is given as:

u_x=u\cos\theta\\u_x=60\times \cos(30)\\u_x=30\sqrt3\approx52\ mm/s

Now, the velocity in the vertical direction goes on decreasing and becomes 0 at the highest point of the trajectory. So, at the highest point, only horizontal component acts.

Therefore, the projectile's velocity at the highest point of its trajectory is equal to the horizontal component of initial velocity and thus is equal to 52 mm/s.

Where is the potential energy equal to zero?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

im sure your already past this but it's E.

Explanation:

This is because in this case potential energy is linear to height, which means that the higher the more potential energy.

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. it suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
Sphinxa [80]

M = mass of the whale = 1000 kg

m = mass of the seal = 200 kg

V = initial velocity of whale before collision with the seal = 6.0 m/s

v = initial velocity of the seal before collision with the whale = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of two sea creatures after collision = ?

Using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = (M + m) V'

inserting the above values in the equation

(1000 kg) (6.0 m/s) + (200 kg) (0 m/s ) = (1000 kg + 200 kg) V'

6000 kgm/s + 0 kgm/s = (1200 kg) V'

V' = (6000 kgm/s ) /(1200 kg)

V' = 5 m/s
