Torque can be calculated by multiplying the force ( n ) applied at 90 â to the lever arm at a distance ( m ) from the pivot poin

t (point of rotation), the compound si unit for the torque is nâm . if the force (at 90 â to the lever arm) applied is 15 n and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?

Answer:

The torque on the lever is 30.0 N m.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as tendency of a force to rotate a body around its axis. Mathematically written as:

\tau=Force\times d\times \sin \theta

Force applied on the lever arm at 90°= 15 N

Distance at which force is applied = d = 2.0 m

\tau =15 N\times 2.0 m\times \sin 90^o= 30.0 N m

The torque on the lever is 30.0 N m.

The Torque on the lever is 30Nm.

<h2>Further Explanation: </h2>

Torque

  • It is a measure of the amount of force acting on an object that causes the object to rotate about an axis.
  • Torque is a vector quantity, in the sense that it has both magnitude and direction.
  • Example of torque; when a push is applied on a door, then the distance to the hinge is the perpendicular distance, meaning it is at 90 degrees to the force arrow.
<h3>Calculation of Torque </h3>
  • Torque is calculated by the formula;

T = F x r sin θ

Where r is the length of the moment arm, F is the force making an object to rotate and θ is the angle between the force vector and the moment arm.

  • When the force is at right angles to the moment arm then the sin is 1 and the formula becomes;

Torque = F x r

The S.I. units of torque is Newton-meter.

<h3>In the question; </h3>

Force applied at the lever arm is 15 N  

Distance from the axis of rotation to the force vector is 2.0 m

Angle between the vector force and the moment arm is 90  

Therefore;

Torque = Force x perpendicular distance  

             = 15 N x 2.0 m

            = 30 Nm  

Therefore; The Torque on the lever is 30 Nm

Keywords: Torque, Force, length of the arm

A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach  243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}

Sum of infinite GP = \frac{a}{1-r}

From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball

WHY does an acceleration cause velocity to increase
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

When the velocity of an object changes it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction.

a ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 40 m/s. how high is the ball above the ground when it stops
NISA [10]

Answer:

80m, assuming g=10m/s^2

Explanation:

40m/s will be reduced to 0m/s in 4 seconds. 4 seconds x 40m/s would be 160m up, but you will only get half of that because you decelerate linearly to 0m/s. This leaves you with 4 x 20 = 80m.
