Answer:

Height above a surface

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.

It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.

It is given mathematically as:

P. E. = m*g*h

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height above a surface

m*g represents the weight of the object.

Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.

A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and weight M = 220 lbs. The pivot under the left end exerts a norma
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

x = 4,138 m

Explanation:

For this exercise, let's use the rotational equilibrium equation.

Let's fix our frame of reference on the left side of the pivot, the positive direction for anti-clockwise rotation

         ∑ τ = 0

         n₁ 0 - W L / 2 + n₂ 4 - W_woman  x = 0

         x = (- W L / 2 + 4n2) / W_woman

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI System

         M = 6 lbs (1 kg / 2.2 lb) = 2.72 kg

         M_woman = 130 lbs = 59.09 kg

Let's write the transnational equilibrium equation

         n₁ + n₂ - W - W_woman = 0

         n₁ + n₂ = W + W_woman

        n₁ + n₂ = (2.72 + 59.09) 9.8

At the point where the system begins to rotate, pivot 1 has no force on it, so its relation must be zero (n₁ = 0)

          n₂ = 605,738 N

 

Let's calculate

         x = (-2.72 9.8 6/2 + 4 605.738) / 59.09 9.8

         x = 4,138 m

UNO [17]
Define
v = volume of a drop per second, cm³/s

The time taken to fill 200 cm³ is 1 hour.
Let V = 200 cm³, the filled volume.
Let t = 1 h = 3600 s, the time required to fill the volume.

Therefore,
\frac{200 \,  cm^{3}}{v \, cm^{3}/s}  = 3600 \, s \\ v =  \frac{200}{3600} =0.0556 \, cm^{3}

The average volume of a single drop is approximately 0.0556 cm³.

Answer: 0.0556 cm³

A circular coil of wire of radius 5.0 cm has 20 turns and carries a current of 2.0 A. The coil lies in a magnetic field of magni
Korvikt [17]

Answer:a. Magnetic dipole moment is 0.3412Am²

b. Torque is zero(0)N.m

Explanation: The magnetic dipole moment U is given as the product of the number of turns n times the current I times the area A

That is,

U = n*I*A

But Area A is given as pi*radius² since it is a circular coil

Radius given is 5cm converting to meter we divide by 100 so we have our radius to be 0.05m. So area A is

A = 3.142*(0.05)² =7.86*EXP {-3} m²

Current I is 2 A

Number of turns is 20

So magnetic dipole moment U is

U = 20*2*7.86*EXP {-3}=0.3142A.m²

b. Torque is given as the cross product of the magnetic field B and magnetic dipole moment U

Torque = B x U =B*U*Sine(theta)

But since the magnetic field is directed parallel to the plane of the coil from the question, it means that the angle between them is zero and sine zero is equals 0(zero) if you substitute that into the formula for torque you will find out that your torque would equals zero(0)N.m
