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.

What is the acceleration of a racing car if it's speed is increased uniformly from 44 m /s to 66 m / s over an 11 second period

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

the acceleration of the race car is 2 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the race car, u = 44 m/s

final velocity of the race car, v = 66 m/s

time of motion of the race car, t = 11 s

The acceleration of the race car is calculated as;

$a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{66-44}{11} \\\\a = 2 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the race car is 2 m/s²

Dimension of radius of sphere

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The dimension is L

Explanation:

Dimension analysis is a method of representing quantities majorly with respect to some fundamental quantities of mass (M), length (L), time (T).

A sphere has a definite volume which relates to its radius by:

V = $\frac{4}{3}$ $\pi$ $r^{3}$

In this equation $\pi$ is a dimensionless quantity, and the unit of v is $m^{3}$ .

But, metre is a measure of length, thus it has a dimension of L.

So that,

$m^{3}$ ≅ $L^{3}$

Then,

$L^{3}$ = $r^{3}$

Find the cube root of both sides to have,

r = L

Therefore, the dimension of the radius of a sphere is L.

A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at

Elenna [48]

The tension in the cable is 23.2 N

<h3>What is the tension in the string?</h3>

The tension in the cable can be resolved into horizontal and vertical forces Tcosθ and Tsinθ respectively.

Tcosθ, is acting perpendicularly, Tcosθ = 0

Taking moments about the pivot:

Tsinθ * 2.2 = 4 * 9.8 * 0.7

Solving for θ;

θ = tan⁻¹(1.4/2.2) = 32.5°

T = 27.44/(sin 32.5 * 2.2)

T = 23.2 N

In conclusion, the tension in the cable is determined by taking moments about the pivot.
