When the pivot point of a balance is not at the center of mass of the balance, how is the net torque on the balance calculated

Physics
1 answer:
Mashcka [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It is calculated as Force × perpendicular distance.

Explanation:

Torque is a rotational force and twisting force that can cause an object to rotate in it's axis. This cause angular rotation.

The torque due to gravity on a body about its centre of mass is zero because the centre of mass is the that point of the body at which the force acts by the gravity that is mg.

But if the pivot point of a balance is not at the centre of mass of the balance, it will be FORCE × PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE because at that point, there is no centre in which the force act on a body by gravity. The distance and force will be use to calculate.

Sound with frequency 1300 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.03 m . At what minimum angle relative to the cent
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

  about 14.7°

Explanation:

The formula for the angle of the first minimum is ...

  sin(θ) = λ/a

where θ is the angle relative to the door centerline, λ is the wavelength of the sound, and "a" is the width of the door.

The wavelength of the sound is the speed of sound divided by the frequency:

  λ = (340 m/s)/(1300 Hz) ≈ 0.261538 m

Then the angle of interest is ...

  θ = arcsin(0.261538/1.03) ≈ 14.7°

At an angle of about 14.7°, someone outside the room will hear no sound.

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

MRU(movimiento rectilineo uniforme) un movil viaja en linea recta con una velocidad media de 12metros /segundos durante 9segundo
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) 141.6m

b) 8.4m/s

Explanation:

a) to find the total displacement you use the following formula for each trajectory. Next you sum the results:

x_1=v_1t_1=(12m/s)(9s)=108m\\\\x_2=v_2t_2=(4.8m/s)(7s)=33.6m\\\\x_T=x_1+x_2=108m+33.6m=141.6m

hence, the total distance is 141.6m

b) the mean velocity of the total trajectory is given by:

v_m=\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}=\frac{12m/s+4.8m/s}{2}=8.4\frac{m}{s}

hence, the mean velocity is 8.4 m/s

Explain Why a flying aeroplane has more Kinetic Energy than a flying insect?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Why do insects fly so high?

Because the angle of attack is so high, a lot of momentum is transferred downward into the flow. These two features create a large amount of lift force as well as some additional drag. The important feature, however, is the lift.

Why an Aeroplane flying has kinetic  

A flying aeroplane has potential energy has it flies above the ground level. And since the aeroplane is flying motion is associated with it and thus possesses kinetic energy. Hence a flying aeroplane has both potential and kinetic energ
