Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, $F=80\ N$

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, $d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m$

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

$M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}$

Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.

Calculate the angle of refraction of 30.0° light shines from water into ice. The indices of refraction for water and ice are 1.3

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The angle of refraction Ø2 equals 62.95° ≈ 63°

Explanation:

The relationship between the angles of incidence and

refraction , with respect to light or other waves passing through two different substances or media, such as glass, water or air is given by Snell's Law.

Snell's Law states that the when light travels from one medium to another, it generally refracts.

It is given by the mathematical expression;

[SinØ1°/SinØ2°] = [n2/n1]

Cross multiplying, we have;

n1 × SinØ1° = n2 × SinØ2°

where, n is the indices of refraction of each substance

Ø is the angle between the ray and the line normal to the surface.

Given the following values;

n1 = 1.36 n2 = 1.31 Ø1 = 30° Ø = ?

n1 × SinØ1° = n1 × SinØ2°

SinØ2° = [n1 × SinØ1°]/n2

substituting the values respectively;

SinØ2° = [1.36 × Sin30°]/1.31

SinØ2° = [1.36 × 0.5]/1.31

SinØ2° = 0.68 × 1.31

SinØ2° = 0.8906

Ø2° = Sin–¹(0.8906)

Ø2° = 62.95° ≈ 63°

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

$F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\$

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

$F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o$

When we kept the Earth's mass the same, but shrank its size, we saw that had an effect on its escape speed. Albert Einstein used

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The escape velocity is the velocity needed by any object to overcome the gravitational force of the planet on which it’s present. Now we know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the center of planet.

If we keep the mass of earth constant and decrease the size of the earth than this will decrease the distance between the object and the center of the earth and thus the gravitational force that will act on the body will increase substantially which will in turn increase the value of the escape velocity.

The value of escape velocity will keep on increasing as the size of the earth will shrink till it reaches to a point when the value of escape velocity becomes more than the speed of light and since it’s impossible to travel with a speed greater than the speed of light and therefore at this point it will become impossible for a spacecraft to escape the earth.
