Answer:

b) the second at the doorknob.

Explanation:

The torque applied by a force is given by the equation

\tau = F_p d

where

\tau is the torque

F_p is the component of the force perpendicular to the direction between the axis of rotation and the point of application of the force

d is the arm (the distance between the axis of rotation and the point of application of the force)

In this problem, we have two equal forces F both applied perpendicular to a door, so

F_p = F

The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; if we call L the width of the door, then the arm of this force is d_1=\frac{L}{2}, so the torque applied by this first force is

\tau_1 = F\frac{L}{2}

The 2nd force instead is applied at the doorknob, so the arm in this case is L:

d = L

So, the torque exerted by the second force is

\tau_2 = FL

Therefore, we see that the 2nd force exerts a greater torque.

Which of these rotational quantities is analogous to mass in a linear system?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

i think it is rotational inertia

because analogue of mass in rotational motion is moment of inertia. It plays the same role as mass plays in transnational motion.  

hope it's right & helps !!!!!!!!!

Two objects separated by a distance r are each carrying a charge q The magnitude of the force exerted on the second object by th
Sindrei [870]

Answer:F=4F

Explanation: Columbs law states that The force between the two point charges is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

Force between the two charges is given by

F=K*q1*q2/r^2

if one charge become 4 times, new force is,

F=4(K*q1*q2)/r^2

F=4F

Where q1 and q2 are the point charges

r is the distance between the two charges

K is a constant of proportion called electrostatic force

When driving straight down the highway at a constant velocity you have to give the engine a little gas (which means an added ext
Alona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This does not violate Newton's 1st law because the net force would still be 0 in order to produce uniform motion (aka constant velocity). The other forces acting on the vehicles is air resistance which is non-zero. So we need car internal force to counter balance this force, which require extra gas for the car.

A red train traveling at 72 km/hr and a green train traveling at 144 km/hr are headed toward one another along a straight level
Temka [501]
First, convert all the km/hr into m/s

You will get that
initial speed = 20 m/s
Initial speed of Green train = 40 m/s
Initial separation = 950 m
Velocity of approach =  20 - -40 = 60 m/s
relative acceleration = -4 m/s^2

v = u + at
0 = 60 - 4t

t = 15s

s = ut + 1/2  *at * t

s = 60 * 15  - 1/2 *4 * 225
s = 900 - 450

Separation when they stop  = 450 m

hope this helps
