This is because of something called moments,
moment is the turning Effect of a force.
it is calculated by
moment=force×perpendicular distance from the line of action.
So if there is more distance from pivot the more the moment is for the same force.

What happenes to our body temperature on a cold winter day or a hot summer day
viva [34]

In cold winter day, the body temperature falls down from normal temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) to 95°F (35°C). In winter body losses heat faster than it generates heat. If the temperature fall further below 95°F (35°C), it is emergency condition known as Hypothermia. One has to consult doctor in this case.

In summer hot days, body evaporates water in the form of sweat, in order to remain itself cool. Rise of temperature up to 100°F is normal. It is recommended to hydrate body to maintain temperature in summer days.

What is the maximum weight a boat can hold if a boat can displace 60.5ml?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a. 60.5 kg

Explanation:

Given data,

The maximum water a boat can displace is, 60.5 ml

According to the principle of buoyancy, the weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

Under standard temperature and pressure, a unit mass of water equals one liter.

If a boat can displace a maximum of 60.5 ml of water, then it can hold a mass of a maximum of 60.5 kg of mass.

A jet airliner moving initially at 889 mph
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1500 mph

Explanation:

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

The x component of the velocity is:

vₓ = 889 cos 0° + 830 cos 59°

vₓ = 1316.5 mph

The y component of the velocity is:

vᵧ = 889 sin 0° + 830 sin 59°

vᵧ = 711.4 mph

The speed is found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1316.5 mph)² + (711.4 mph)²

v = 1496 mph

Rounded to two significant figures, the jet's speed relative to the ground is 1500 mph.

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.    

Option (1) :  A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

In an internal combustion engine, heat flow into a gas causes it to <br> .
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.
