Answer: The correct answer is the low pressure in the mountains

Explanation:

The air pressure is lower in the mountains. As we travel up into the mountains, the air inside our ears takes some time to adjust the pressure change.

This unequal pressure causes discomfort in ears while ascending and descending on the mountain. The condition of discomfort in ear is caused by the pressure difference between the outside and inside the eardrum.

Therefore, as we travel up to into the mountains, we notice discomfort in our ears. This is due to the low pressure in the mountain.

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?

Tcecarenko [31]

The weight of the meterstick is:
$W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N$
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance
$d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m$
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
$M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm$

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
$(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm$
from which we find the value of d2:
$d_2 = \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m$

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.

Suppose a 350-g kookaburra (a large kingfisher bird) picks up a 75-g snake and raises it 2.5 m from the ground to a branch. (a)

mafiozo [28]

(a) The work done by the bird to raise the snake on the branch is equal to the product between the weight of the snake and the height of the branch above the ground:

$W_1 = mg h$

where $m=75 g=0.075 kg$ is the mass of the snake and $h=2.5 m$ is the height of the branch with respect to the ground. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

$W_1 = (0.075 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(2.5 m)=1.84 J$

(b) The work the bird did to raise its own centre of mass from the ground to the branch is equal to the product between the bird's weight and the height of the branch:

$W_2 = mgh$
