Answer:

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance.

If we take a screw driver of small length then we need to apply a large force to open or tighten the screw.

If a screw driver of long arm, then we need to apply small force to open or tighten the screw.

<span>Since the torque involves the product of force times lever arm, a small force can exert a greater torque than a larger force if the small force has a large enough lever arm.

With a large force exerts a small torque is a gate, hinged in its vertical line (axis). When pushed from a point near to the hinge, a very large amount is needed to open the gate.

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.3 m below. The droplets are fal

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.767m

Explanation:

We are given that the time interval between each droplet is equal.

We are also given that the fourth drop is just dripping from the shower when the first hits the floor.

If they fall at the same time interval and we know that the distance between the shower head and floor are the same, they must therefore fall at the same velocity.

The distance between each drop has to be the same given that they fall at equal time intervals.

Let this distance be x.

We can then partition the entire height of the system into three parts (as shown in the diagram).

Hence, we can say that:

x + x + x = 2.3m

3x = 2.3m

=> x = 2.3/3 = 0.767m

Therefore, at the time the first drop hits the floor, the third drop is only 0.767 m below the shower head.

*please refer to photo* An electric field of magnitude 5.25 ✕ 10^5N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately $3.86\; {\rm N}$ (given that the magnitude of this charge is $-7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ .)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude $q$ is placed in an electric field of magnitude $E$ , the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be $F = E\, q$ .

The magnitude of this charge is $q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ . Apply the unit conversion $1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}$ :

$\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}$ .

An electric field of magnitude $E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}}$ would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

$\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.

What is the slope of the line if the rise of a line on a distance versus-time graph is 900 meters and the run is 3 minutes?

Alexandra [31]

600/3 = 200
the slope is 200m/min

OR

600/ (3/60) =
600 x 60/3 =
600 x 20 = 12,000 meters per hour
