(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)?

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)

$X=\frac{(100)(40)}{(200)} =20cm$

At the beginning of a basketball game, the referee tosses the ball straight up with a speed of 4.6m/s. A player cannot touch the

maria [59]

Answer:

t=0.47s

Explanation:

the ball has uniformly accelerated movement due to gravity

Vo=initial speed=4.6m/s

g=gravity=-9.8m/s^2

Vf=final speed=0, the player must wait for the ball to stop. so the final speed will be 0

we can use the following ecuation

T=(Vf-Vo)/g

T=(0-4.6)/-9.8m/s^2

T=0.47s

Bobby is riding his bike down the road at a speed of 10 miles per hour. Ahead of him, he sees another rider, moving in the same

vekshin1

They will be travelling slower than 10mph.
if they were travelling at the same speed then they would stay an equal distance apart.
if they were travelling fatser then they would be getting further away more quickly than Bobby is catching up.
maybe they are travelling at 5mph but I'd say it's a safer option to chose under 10mph

A flat disk of radius 0.50 m is oriented so that the plane of the disk makes an angle of 30 degrees with a uniform electric fiel

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The electric flux is $280\ \rm N.m^2/C$

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the disc R=0.50 m
Angle made by disk with the horizontal $\theta=30^\circ$
Magnitude of the electric Field $E=713.0\ \rm N/C$

The flux of the Electric Field E due to the are dA in space can be found out by using Gauss Law which is as follows

$\phi=\int E.dA$

where

$\phi$ is the total Electric Flux
E is the Electric Field
dA is the Area through which the electric flux is to be calculated.

Now according to question we have

$=EA\cos\theta \\=713\times 3.14\times 0.5^2 \times \cos60^\circ\\=280\ \rm N.m^2/C$

Hence the electric flux is calculated.

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate

diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

$W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

According to the data given we have to,

$Q_{source} = 200000Btu$

$T_{source} = 1500R$

$Q_{sink} = 100000Btu$

$T_{sink} = 600R$

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R$

On the other hand,

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}$

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}$

$\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R$

The total change of entropy would be,

$S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}$

$S = -133.33+166.67$

$S = 33.34Btu/R$

Since $S\neq 0$ the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

$W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

$W = 200000-100000$

$W = 100000 Btu$

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu
