(a) The stick is supported by a sharp point at the middle. On the left side, a weight of 100 g is suspended at 40 cm from the mi
ddle point. On the right hand side, a weight of 200 g is suspended. When the stick is balanced, where should the 200 g weight be suspended (how many cm from the middle point)?
1 answer:
Answer:
20cm
Explanation:
Hello!
remember that the condition for a body to be at rest is that the sum of its moments and its forces be zero,
To solve this problem you must draw the free body diagram of the stick (attached image) and sum up moments at point 0 (where the sharp is located), which results in the following equation
(100g)(40cm)=x(200g)

Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an electron is given by the following equation:
(1)
Where:
is the momentum of the electron
is the mass of the electron
From (1) we can find :
(2)
(3)
Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:
(4)
Where:
is the Planck constant
So, we will use the value of found in (3) for equation (4):
(5)
We are told the wavelength of the photon is the same as the wavelength of the electron:
(6)
Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon using the following equation:
(7)
Where is the spped of light in vacuum

Answer:
- 4.77 %
Explanation:
We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is
If we got an uncertainty the formula for the uncertainty of V is:
We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:
And using it in the formula:
The relative uncertainty is:
Using the values for the problem:
This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %
