Explain why the tip of a sewing needle is sharp

Physics
1 answer:
Dafna1 [17]2 years ago

Because of its Sharp tip the needle is able to put the force on a very small area of the cloth, producing a large pressure sufficient enough to pierce the cloth being stitched and allow to stitch the thread in and pull it out.

A rod of very small diameter with a mass 2m and length 3L is placed along the xaxis with one end at the origin. An identical rod
rewona [7]

Answer:

coordinates of the center of mass for these two rods

(x_{cm}, y_{cm})= (\frac{3L}{4},  \frac{3L}{4})cm

Explanation:

given

mass of a rod = 2m

length of the rod = 3L

mass of two rods = 2(2m) = 4m

radius = diameter/2 = \frac{3L}{2}

10 basic rules of badminton?​
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The 10 rules of badminton are as follows:

1. A game starts with a coin toss. Whoever wins the toss gets to decide whether they would serve or receive first OR what side of the court they want to be on. The side losing the toss shall then exercise the remaining choice.

2. At no time during the game should the player touch the net, with his racquet or his body.

3. The shuttlecock should not be carried on or come to rest on the racquet.

4. A player should not reach over the net to hit the shuttlecock.

5. A serve must carry cross court (diagonally) to be valid.

6. During the serve, a player should not touch any of the lines of the court, until the server strikes the shuttlecock. During the serve the shuttlecock should always be hit from below the waist.

7. A point is added to a player's score as and when he wins a rally.

8. A player wins a rally when he strikes the shuttlecock and it touches the floor of the opponent's side of the court or when the opponent commits a fault. The most common type of fault is when a player fails to hit the shuttlecock over the net or it lands outside the boundary of the court.

9. Each side can strike the shuttlecock only once before it passes over the net. Once hit, a player can't strike the shuttlecock in a new movement or shot.

10. The shuttlecock hitting the ceiling, is counted as a fault.

The mass m of the object = 5.25 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

k = spring constant = 3.5 N/cm

Δx= 30 cm - 15 cm = 15 cm

Required

the mass m

Solution

F=m.g

Hooke's Law

F = k.Δx

\tt m.g=k.\Delta x\\\\m.10=3.5\times 15\\\\m=5.25~kg

A car with a mass of 1380 Kg is traveling at 23 m/s to the north. A truck with a mass of 1625 Kg is traveling at 26 m/s to the s
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} must be equal to the final momentum p_{f}, and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:

Before the collision:

p_{i}=mV_{o}+MU_{o} (1)

After the collision:

p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f} (2)

Where:

m=1380 kg is the mass of the car

V_{o}=23 m/s is the velocity of the car, directed to the north

M=1625 kg is the mass of the truck

U_{o}=-26 m/s is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south

V_{f} is the final velocity of both the car and the truck

p_{i}=p_{f} (3)

mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f} (4)

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(1380 kg)(23 m/s)+(1625 kg)(-26 m/s)}{1380 kg+1625 kg} (6)

Finally:

V_{f}=-3.49 m/s The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south

Photons with the highest energy have the ____
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

D. shortest wavelength

Explanation:

Photons with the highest energy have the shortest wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of a photon.

A photon is a quantity that transmits electromagnetic energy from one place to the other.

  • Gamma rays have photons that transmits the highest amount of energy.
  • The rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiations.

Energy, wavelength and frequency of a photon are connected using the expression:

    E =  h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}  

E is the energy

h is the Planck's constant

 f is the frequency.
