Answer:

<h2>The magnitude of force F is 18N</h2>

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force in the set up can be solved for using the principle of moment. According to the principle, the sum of clockwise moment  is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.

Moment = Force * perpendicular distance

Clockwise moments;

The force that acts clockwise is the unknown Force F and 4N force. If the  beam rests on a pivot 60 cm from end X and a Force F acts on the beam 80 cm from end X, the perpendicular distance of the force F from the pivot is 80-60 = 20cm and the perpendicular distance of the 4N force from the pivot is 60-50 = 10cm

Moment of force F about the pivot = F * 20

Moment of 4N force about the pivot = 4*10 = 40Nm

Sum of clockwise moment = 40+20F...(1)

Anticlockwise moment;

The  8N will act anticlockwisely about the pivot.

The distance between the 8N force and the pivot is 60-10 = 50cm

Moment of the 8N force = 8*50

=400Nm...(1)

Equating 1 and 2 we have;

40+20F = 400

20F = 400-40

20F = 360

F = 18N

The magnitude of force F is 18N

A 0.14-MIN baseball is dropped from rest. It has a momentum of 0.90 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s just before it lands on the ground.
nikitadnepr [17]

The time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>momentum of the ball, P = 0.9 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>weight of the ball, W = 0.14 N</em>

The impulse experienced by the ball is calculated as follows;

Ft = \Delta P

where;

Ft is impulse

\Delta P is change in momentum

The time of motion of the ball is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{\Delta P}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.9 - 0}{0.14} \\\\t = 6.43 \ s

Thus, the time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

two resistors of 20 ohm each are connected in a parallel with a battery of 10V. The total current passing through circuit is
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

1 Ampere.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

Next, we shall determine the equivalent resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

R = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

R = (20 × 20) / (20 + 20)

R = 400 / 40

R = 10 ohm

Finally, we shall determine the total current in the circuit. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Equivalent Resistance (R) = 10 ohm

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 10

Divide both side by 10

I = 10 / 10

I = 1 Ampere

Therefore, the total current in the circuit is 1 Ampere.

How is sound produced ​
Dafna11 [192]

Sounds are created when something vibrates (shakes back and forth), sending waves of vibrations into the ears of the listener. When a bell is struck, the metal vibrates. The vibrations travel through the air as sound waves.
