A gymnast with mass 46.0 kg stands on the end of a uniform balance beam as shown. The beam is 5.00 m long and has a mass of 250

kg (excluding the mass of the two supports). Each support is 0.540 m from its end of the beam. What are the forces on the beam due to support 1 (F1) and support 2 (F2)?

Sum up the moments of the right and the left support:
∑ M2 = 0
F1 · 3.92 m = 46 kg · 9,81 m/s² · 4.46 m + 250 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.96 m
F 1 · 3.92 = 2012.6 + 4806.9
F 1 = 6819.5 : 3.92
F 1 = 1739.67 N
∑ M 1 = 0
F 2 · 3.92 m + 46 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 0.54 m = 250 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.96 m
F 2 · 3.92 + 243.68 = 4806.9
F 2 · 3.92 = 4563.22
F 2 = 4563.22 : 3.92
F 2 = 1164 N
Answer: The forces on the beam are: F 1 = 1739.67 N and F 2 = 1164 N.

demonstrate in a brief paragraph how the search to explain planetary orbits exemplifies the scientific method and then use of mo
kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

A baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg. A professional pitcher throws a baseball 67 mi/h, which is 30.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of
Kamila [148]

The concept of momentum tells us that it is equivalent to the product between the mass and the velocity of the object, that is to say that in general it can be written as

p = mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 0.145kg

v = 67mi/h = 30m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (0.145)(30)

p = 12.45 kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the magniude of the momentum of the pitched baseball is 12.45 kg\cdot m/s

When a flat slab of transparent material is placed under water, the critical angle for light traveling from the slab into water
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) 40.6 degree

Explanation:

When refraction takes place from slab to water, the critical angle is 60 degree.

Use Snell's law

refractive index of water with respect to slab

\mu _{w}^{s}=\frac{Sin60}{Sin90}

\frac{\mu _{w}}{\mu _{s}}=0.866

\frac{1.33}{\mu _{s}}=0.866

μs = 1.536

Now for slab air interface, the critical angle is C.

\mu _{a}^{s}=\frac{SinC}{Sin90}

\frac{\mu _{a}}{\mu _{s}}=\frac{SinC}{Sin90}

1 / 1.536 = Sin C

C = 40.6 degree

How much work is done (by a battery, generator, or some other source of potential difference) in moving Avogadro's number of ele
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

-1486 KJ

Explanation:

The work done by an electric field on a charged body is:

W = ΔV * q

where ΔV = change in voltage

q = total charge

The total charge of Avogadro's number of electrons is:

6.0221409 * 10^(23) * -1.6023 * 10^(-19) = -9.65 * 10^(4)

The change in voltage, ΔV, is:

9.20 - (6.90) = 15.4

Therefore, the work done is:

W = -9.65 * 10^(4) * 15.4 = -1.486 * 10^6 J = -1486 KJ

The negative sign means that the motion of the electrons is opposite the electrostatic force.
