A butcher has a beam balance and masses 0.5kg and 2kg.How would he measure 1.5kg of meat on the balance at once

Physics

LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer and Explanation:

  • The butcher will balance the meat and the 0.5 kg mass on one side of the beam balance and 2 kg mass on the other side of the beam balance.
  • By so doing, when the beam balances then the amount of meat measured will be exactly 1.5 kg as required. Since the 1.5 kg meat and 0.5 kg mass is equivalent to the 2 kg on the other side of the beam balance.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A point charge is placed between two charges

Q1 = 4 μC

Q2 = -1 μC

Distance between the two charges is 1m

We want to find the point when the electric field will be zero.

Electric field can be calculated using

E = kQ/r²

Let the point charge be at a distance x from the first charge Q1, then, it will be at 1 -x from the second charge.

Then, the magnitude of the electric at point x is zero.

E = kQ1 / r² + kQ2 / r²

0 = kQ1 / x²  - kQ2 / (1-x)²

kQ1 / x² = kQ2 / (1-x)²

Divide through by k

Q1 / x² = Q2 / (1-x)²

4μ / x² = 1μ / (1 - x)²

Divide through by μ

4 / x² = 1 / (1-x)²

Cross multiply

4(1-x)² = x²

4(1-2x+x²) = x²

4 - 8x + 4x² = x²

4x² - 8x + 4 - x² = 0

3x² - 8x + 4 = 0

Check attachment for solution of quadratic equation

We found that,

x = 2m or x = ⅔m

So, the electric field will be zero if placed ⅔m from point charge A, OR ⅓m from point charge B.

A physics professor uses an air-track cart of mass m to compress a spring of constant k by an amount x from its equilibrium leng
zhenek [66]

Answer:

        v = √k/m    x

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the energy conservation relationships

starting point. Fully compressed spring

        Em₀ = K_{e} = ½ k x²

final point. Cart after leaving the spring

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        ½ k x² = ½ m v²

        v = √k/m    x

A 0.50-kg croquet ball is initially at rest on the grass. When the ball is struck by a mallet, the average force exerted on it i
NeTakaya

The impulse given to the ball is equal to the change in its momentum:

J = ∆p = (0.50 kg) (5.6 m/s - 0) = 2.8 kg•m/s

This is also equal to the product of the average force and the time interval ∆t :

J = F(ave) ∆t

so that if F(ave) = 200 N, then

∆t = J / F(ave) = (2.8 kg•m/s) / (200 N) = 0.014 s

What equation gives the position at a specific time for an object with constant acceleration? 
malfutka [58]
Given constant acceleration, we can get the final position of an object in terms of both its initial velocity and its acceleration using one of the equations of motion.

The equation that we will use is:
Xf = Xi +  Vi*t + (1/2)*a*t^2
where:
Xf is the final position of the object
Xi is the initial position of the object
Vi is the initial velocity of the object
t is the time
a is the constant given acceleration
