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

Calculate how much work is required to launch a spacecraft of mass m from the surface of the earth (mass mE, radius RE) and plac
mylen [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy, through the balance between the work done and its respective transformation from the gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically the conservation of these two energies can be given through

W = U_f - U_i

Where,

W = Work

U_f = Final gravitational Potential energy

U_i = Initial gravitational Potential energy

When the spacecraft of mass m is on the surface of the earth then the energy possessed by it

U_i = \frac{-GMm}{R}

Where

M = mass of earth

m = Mass of spacecraft

R = Radius of earth

Let the spacecraft is now in an orbit whose attitude is R_{orbit} \approx R then the energy possessed by the spacecraft is

U_f = \frac{-GMm}{2R}

Work needed to put it in orbit is the difference between the above two

W = U_f - U_i

W = -GMm (\frac{1}{2R}-\frac{1}{R})

Therefore the work required to launch a spacecraft from the surface of the Eart andplace it ina circularlow earth orbit is

W = \frac{GMm}{2R}

What is the electric potential 12 cm away from a charge of –5.2 × 10^–6C?
MAXImum [283]
The equation for electric potential of a point charge is:

V=(k*q)/r where k=9*10^11 N m²/C², q is the charge and r is the distance from the charge to the point in which we are calculating the potential.

q=-5.2*10^-6 C
r=12 cm = 0.12 m

Now we plug in the numbers and get:

V=-3.9*10^5 Volts, so the correct answer is the second one.

a water heater has a power rating of 1 kW. how many seconds will this heater take to boil 1 liter of water?
Tanzania [10]
Answer:
4.65 minutes.

Explanation:
Theoretical Assumptions (not realistic): 1) ALL of the heat energy is transferred to the water, and 2)the water is uniformly heated. 3) The water density is 1.0g/mL.
Because we are only heating it TO the “boiling point”, ONLY the energy to heat the water from 20 to 100’C using the heat capacity or specific heat of water is required. A “Watt” is 1 Joule/second. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-’C. Water mass is 1000g. The energy required to heat it is therefore
