7) T F If two forces of equal magnitude act on an object that is hinged at a pivot, the force acting farther from the pivot must
saul85 [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

\tau=Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the pivot

\theta is the angle between the directions of F and d

We see that the magnitude of the torque depends on 3 factors. In this problem, we have 2 forces of equal magnitude (so, equal F). Moreover, one of the forces (let's call it force 1) acts farther from the pivot than force 2, so we have

d_1 > d_2

However, this does not mean that force 1 produces a greater torque. In fact, it also depends on the angle at which the force is applied. For instance, if the first force is applied parallel to d, then we have

\theta_1 =0\\sin \theta=0

and the torque produced by this force would be zero.

So, the statement is false.

Old-fashioned pendulum clocks are powered by masses that need to be wound back to the top of the clock about once a week to coun
Andreyy89

Answer:

Energy, E = 178.36 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass 1, m_1=4\ kg

Mass 2, m_2=4\ kg

Mass 3, m_3=6\ kg

Height from which they are dropped, h = 1.3 m

Let m is the energy used by the clock in a week. The energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy. It is given by :

E=(m_1+m_2+m_3)gh

E=(4+4+6)\times 9.8\times 1.3

E = 178.36 J

So, the energy used by the clock in a week is 178.36 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

device for heating a cup of water in a car connects to the car's battery, which has an emf E = 10.0 V and an internal resistance
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

R = 0.93 ohms

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the resistance of the coil,

V = I ( R + r )

Make R the subject of the above equation.

Hence,

V = IR + Ir

V - Ir = IR

( V - Ir )/I = R

Given that V = 10V

r = 0.07ohms

I = 10A ( this is an assumption )

( 10 - 10×0.07 ) ÷ 10

R = 0.93 ohms

Note: r is the internal resistance, R is the resistance, I is the current and the emf is represented as V. Since current was supposed to be included in the question but it was not, hence it was assumed to be 10A . Meaning whatsoever value is given for current will be substituted into the equation. Thanks
