A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30

kg mass hanging from it at the 60-cm mark. Determine the position on the meter stick at which one would hang a third mass of 0.60 kg to keep the meter stick balanced.

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

Answer:

70 cm mark

Explanation:

m1 = 0.5 kg

m2 = 0.3 kg

m3 = 0.6 kg

let the third mass is at d cm from 50 cm mark. take moments about the 50 cm mark.

Anticlockwise torque = clock wise torque

0.5 x ( 50 - 20) + 0.6 x d = 0.3 (60 - 50)

0.5 x 30 + 0.6 d = 0.3 x 10

15 + 0.6 d = 3

0.6 d = - 12

d = - 20 cm

So, it means third mass is at 20 cm right to the 50 cm mark. So, it is at 70 cm mark.

Imagine that the earth and the-moon have positive charges of the same magnitud. How big isäºthe charge necesary to produce an el
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

5.7 x 10^12 C

Explanation:

Let the charge on earth and moon is q.

mass of earth, Me = 5.972 x 10^24 kg

mass of moon, Mm = 7.35 x 10^22 kg

Let d be the distance between earth and moon.

the gravitational force between them is

F_{g}=G\frac{M_{e} \times M_{m}}{d^{2}}

The electrostatic force between them is

F_{e}=\frac{Kq^{2}}{d^{2}}

According to the question

1 % of Fg = Fe

0.01 \times 6.67\times10^{-11}\frac{5.97 \times 10^{24}\times7.35 \times 10^{22}}{d^{2}}=9 \times 10^{9}\frac{q^{2}}{d^{2}}

2.927 \times 10^{35}=9 \times10^{9}q^{2}

3.25 \times 10^{25}=q^{2}

q = 5.7 x 10^12 C

Thus, the charge on earth and the moon is 5.7 x 10^12 C.

If a receiver is overly selective:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C) only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results.

Explanation:

Selectivity is the ability of a receiver to respond only to a specific signal on a wanted frequency and reject other signals nearby in frequency.

If a receiver is overly selective, only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results. Whereas, if a receiver is underselective, the receiver can pick different signals on different frequencies at the same time.

Which of the following describes the way heat is transferred in a geyser?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Heat is transferred by the hot air or water moving to a cooler area. The elements rotate in circular motions, giving the geyser pressure.

A 40.0 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 18.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incl
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

7.9m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wagon=40 kg

\theta=18.5^{\circ}

Tension=140 N

Initial velocity of wagon=u=0

Displacement=s=80 m

Net force applied  on wagon=F=T-mgsin\theta=140-40(9.8)sin18.5=15.7 N

By using g=9.8m/s^2

a=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{15.7}{40}=0.39m/s^2

We know that

v^2-u^2=2as

Using the formula

v^2=2\times 0.39\times 80

v=\sqrt{2\times 0.39\times 80}=7.9m/s
