)If a force of 5.00 N is needed to open a 90.0 cm wide door when applied at the edge opposite the hinges, what force must be app
masha68 [24]

Answer:

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

Explanation:

In this case, a force is exerted on the door, a moment is performed and the door is opened. If moment remains constant, the force is inversely proportional to distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges. That is:

F \propto \frac{1}{r}

F = \frac{k}{r} (Eq. 1)

Where:

F - Force, measured in newtons.

k - Proportionality ratio, measured in newton-meters.

r - Distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges, measured in meters.

From (Eq. 1) we get the following relationship and clear the final force within:

F_{A}\cdot r_{A} = F_{B}\cdot r_{B}

F_{B}=\left(\frac{r_{A}}{r_{B}} \right)\cdot F_{A}(Eq. 2)

Where:

F_{A}, F_{B} - Initial and final forces, measured in newtons.

r_{A}, r_{B} - Initial and final distances, measured in meters.

If we know that F_{A} = 5\,N, r_{A} = 0.9\,m and r_{B} = 0.35\,m, then final force is:

F_{B}= \left(\frac{0.9\,m}{0.35\,m} \right)\cdot (5\,N)

F_{B} = 12.857\,N

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

What did Rutherford’s model of the atom include that Thomson’s model did not have?
Ksivusya [100]
Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 55.0 μs ?
Komok [63]
Electromagnetic radiation is an energy that is known as light. so electromagnetic radiation will have the same speed as the speed of light which is 3 x 10^8 m/s. so the distance it travel at 55 x 10^-6 s is:
D = ( 3 x 10^8 m/s ) (  55 x 10^-6 s )
D = 16500 m
