Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. It may be seen as a statement about inertia, that objects will remain in their state of motion unless a force acts to change the motion.

A 50 g mass is freely hanging from a horizontal meter stick at a distance of 99 cm from the pivot. Calculate the weight force W
Neko [114]

Answer:

W = 0.49 N

τ = 0.4851 Nm

Force

Explanation:

The weight force can be found as:

W = mg

W = (0.05 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>W = 0.49 N</u>

The torque about the pivot can be found as:

τ = W*d

where,

τ = torque

d = distance between weight and pivot = 99 cm = 0.99 m

Therefore,

τ = (0.49 N)(0.99 m)

<u>τ = 0.4851 Nm</u>

The pivot exerts a  <u>FORCE </u>on the meter stick because the pivot applies force normally over the stick and has a zero distance from stick.

How does a wind turbine transform mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

"A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator."

The diagram shows a screwdriver being used as a lever to open a tin
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

(a) Most reactive {}       Metal B

{}                                    Metal D

{}                                    Metal A

Least reactive {}           Metal C

(b) (i) Bubbles should form very slowly

(ii) No reaction takes place

Explanation:

(a) The given metals arranged in their order of reactivity are;

Most reactive {}       Metal B

{}                               Metal D

{}                               Metal A

Least reactive {}      Metal C

The other of reactivity is based on the nature of their reactivity of the metals in air

(b) (i) Based on the reactivity of the metals in air, whereby metal A reacts very slowly and an oxide is formed, we have that, based on the reactivity of the metal A, when mixed with dilute hydrochloric acid, bubbles should form very slowly

(ii) Similarly, given that metal C is unreactive, we have that when small pieces of metal C are added to dilute hydrochloric acid, no reaction takes place.

Explain how to find the angle between two nonzero vectors. Choose the correct answer below. A. The angle between two nonzero vec
kozerog [31]

Answer:

θ = Cos⁻¹[A.B/|A||B|]

A. The angle between two nonzero vectors can be found by first dividing the dot product of the two vectors by the product of the two vectors' magnitudes. Then taking the inverse cosine of the result

Explanation:

We can use the formula of the dot product, in order to find the angle between two non-zero vectors. The formula of dot product between two non-zero vectors is written a follows:

A.B = |A||B| Cosθ

where,

A = 1st Non-Zero Vector

B = 2nd Non-Zero Vector

|A| = Magnitude of Vector A

|B| = Magnitude of Vector B

θ = Angle between vector A and B

Therefore,

Cos θ = A.B/|A||B|

<u>θ = Cos⁻¹[A.B/|A||B|]</u>

Hence, the correct answer will be:

<u>A. The angle between two nonzero vectors can be found by first dividing the dot product of the two vectors by the product of the two vectors' magnitudes. Then taking the inverse cosine of the result</u>
