D. Redefine the machine’s system boundaries.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can't be created not destroyed. Energy, however, can be changed from one form to another. The law applies to isolated systems only. By redefining and expanding the system (including all factors affecting it) , the machine's ability to do work should improve.

Friction causes energy loss. By conservation of energy, reducing friction will increase work. So ans is C.

A rod 7.0 m long is pivoted at a point 2.0 m from the left end. A downward force of 50 N acts at the left end, and a downward fo

kicyunya [14]

If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:

∑ τ = 0

Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:

• at the left end,

τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m

• at the right end,

τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m

• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,

τ = + (300 N) d

Then

∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0

⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m

⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m

The temperature of water in a beaker is 45°C. What does this measurement represent

andrezito [222]

Based on my information, this would actually be representing "the average kinetic energy of water particles". So, as you take notice that where this temperature is being located, and also, how this would be $45$ °C, this would make more sense for this to be representing as <span>the average kinetic energy of water particles.</span>

Which are characteristics of electromagnetic waves?check all that apply.

emmainna [20.7K]

Correct choices are marked in bold:

travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces

travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ )

travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum

travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter

can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits

move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved

move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
