Which of the following is a false statement? Select one:

Physics
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.

Explanation:

Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.

Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as

\overrightarrow{r}_{com}=\int \overrightarrow{r}_{i}dm

where,

\overrightarrow{r}_{i} is the position vector of the mass dm.

As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.

Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:

1) Horseshoe shaped body.

2) A thin ring.

In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.

An air conditioner running with R-134a on a cycle executed under the saturationdome between the pressure limits of 0.8 MPa and 0
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The COP of the system is = 4.6

Explanation:

Given data

Higher pressure  = 1.8 M pa

Lower pressure = 0.12 M pa

Now we have to find out high & ow temperatures at these pressure limits.

Higher temperature corresponding to pressure 1.8 M pa

T_{H} = 62.9 °c = 335.9 K

Lower temperature corresponding to pressure 0.2 M pa

T_{L} = - 10.1 °c = 262.9 K

COP of the system is given by

COP = \frac{T_{L} }{T_{H} -T_{L}   }

COP = \frac{335.9}{335.9 -262.9}

COP = 4.6

Therefore the COP of the system is = 4.6

A force has direction and contact
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newton (N). Force is represented by the symbol F. The original form of Newton's second law states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes with time.

Other units: dyne, pound-force, poundal, kip, kilopond

SI unit: newton (N)

Common symbols: F→, F, F
