Nitrogen is the most abundant of the gases present in the atmosphere. 78 percent of the atmospheric air comprises of nitrogen, oxygen makes up for 21 percent and all other gases make up for the remaining one percent. Oxygen is a highly flammable gas and in the absence of nitrogen it would not have been possible to utilize this atmospheric oxygen, hence the presence of nitrogen reduces its flammability and also neutralizes the toxicity of other gases.

A 2.00-m long uniform beam has a mass of 4.00 kg. The beam rests on a fulcrum that is 1.20 m from its left end. In order for the
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x ’= 1,735 m,  measured from the far left

Explanation:

For the system to be in equilibrium, the law of rotational equilibrium must be fulfilled.

Let's fix a reference system located at the point of rotation and that the anticlockwise rotations have been positive

             

They tell us that we have a mass (m1) on the left side and another mass (M2) on the right side,

the mass that is at the left end x = 1.2 m measured from the pivot point, the mass of the right side is at a distance x and the weight of the body that is located at the geometric center of the bar

           x_{cm} = 1.2 -1

          x_ {cm} = 0.2 m

          Σ τ = 0

          w₁ 1.2 + mg 0.2 - W₂ x = 0

          x = \frac{m_1 g\ 1.2 \ + m g \ 0.2}{M_2 g}

          x = \frac{m_1 \ 1.2 \ + m \ 0.2 }{M_2}

let's calculate

          x = \frac{2.9 \ 1.2 \ + 4 \ 0.2 }{8.00}2.9 1.2 + 4 0.2 / 8

           

          x = 0.535 m

measured from the pivot point

measured from the far left is

           x’= 1,2 + x

           x'=  1.2 + 0.535

           x ’= 1,735 m

A 9.5 V battery supplies a 3.5 mA current to a circuit for 7.0 h. Part A How much charge has been transferred from the negative
pychu [463]

Answer:

88.2 C

Explanation:

The current can be defined as the rate of flow of charge in a conductor.

The relation between charge current and time is given as

I = Q/T

I = current, Q= charge and T = time

that is ampere = coulomb / second

The amount of charge passed is from the negative to the positive terminal

shall be given by:

Q = I * t = 3.5mA * 7h * 3600s/h = 88.2 C

Note: take care of the units.
