A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long

and pivoted at the middle. The lady has a weight of 500 newtons and is standing on one end. The elephant has a weight of 2500 N and is walking toward her on the beam. How far does the elephant have to walk from the end toward the middle to balance the beam

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.

A converging lens has a focal length of 20 cm. An object 1 cm tall is placed 10 cm from the center of the lens. What is the heig
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: 2 cm

Explanation:

Given , for a converging lens

Focal length : f=20\ cm

Height of object : h=1\ cm

Object distabce from lens : u=-10\ cm

Using lens formula: \dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}, we get

\dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{10}, where v = image distance from the lens.

On solving aboive equation , we get

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{20}-\dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{1-2}{20}=\dfrac{-1}{20}\Rightarrow\ v=-20\ cm

Formula of Magnification : m=\dfrac{v}{u}=\dfrac{h'}{h} , where h' is the height of image.

Put value of u, v and h in it , we get

\dfrac{-20}{-10}=\dfrac{h'}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h'=2\ cm

Hence, the height of the image is 2 cm.

A flywheel with a diameter of 1.63 m is rotating at an angular speed of 79.9 rev/min. (a) What is the angular speed of the flywh
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(a) 8.362 rad/sec

(b) 6.815 m/sec

(c) 9.446 rad/sec^2

(d) 396.22 revolution

Explanation:

We have given that diameter d = 1.63 m

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.63}{2}=0.815m

Angular speed N = 79.9 rev/min

(a) We know that angular speed in radian per sec

\omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 79.9}{60}=8.362rad/sec

(b) We know that linear speed is given by

v=r\omega =0.815\times 8.362=6.815m/sec

(c) We have given final angular velocity \omega _f=675rev/min

And \omega _i=79.9rev/min

Time t = 63 sec

Angular acceleration is given by \alpha =\frac{\omega _f-\omega _i}{t}=\frac{675-79.9}{63}=9.446rad/sec^2

(d) Change in angle is given by

\Theta =\frac{1}{2}(\omega _i+\omega _f)t=\frac{1}{2}(675+79.9)\times 1.05=396.22rev

which of the following statements best explains how consumers determine growth in technological areas
Mrac [35]
If these were the missing choices:

a)      Consumers fill out questionnaires concerning their need for new products.

b)      Consumers vote for politicians who decide which kind of research to support

c)       Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy

d)      Consumers influence the decisions of private foundations by deciding where to donate money.


My answer would be: c)       <span>Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy</span>

Every growth is based on the demand of the people. If a good or service is needed then its demand will increase. If a good or service is not needed then its demand will decrease until such time that said good or service will be eliminated.
