Torque, moment, or moment of force is the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis,fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. Mathematically, torque is defined as the cross product of the vector by which the force's application point is offset relative to the fixed suspension point (distance vector) and the force vector, which tends to produce rotational motion. So torque about the center of the sun due to the gravitational force of attraction of the sun on the planet = (Gxm1xm2 / r^2). r sin(theta) = Gxm1xm2 /r^2). r sin0° = 0

What state of matter can easily be compressed (squeezed into a much smaller space)? *
avanturin [10]

Answer:

gases.

Explanation:

gases have the highest volume. if you compress (increase pressure) a gas, the volume decreases and it will take up less space as a liquid, and if you compress more, the liquid will become a solid.

additionally info: this is generally true, but as you get into more difficult subjects, this rule does not hold. for example, some substances cannot obtain a certain phase of matter when they are a certain temperature and or pressure. but that could be way more out of this questions league.

Imagine a box sitting on a shelf. What forces are acting on the box?
romanna [79]

In case of an object sitting at rest on another base, there are two equal and opposite forces – Normal force and the gravity.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

When an object is placed at rest position on another object, there is a force exerted by the surfaces of the two contact objects. This force is denoted as Normal Force.

When an object such as a box is placed on a shelf, its surface exerts a contact force on the base of the shelf- The Normal force directed upward. Meanwhile, the gravity stays at its action and tries to pull the box towards itself.  

Both of these forces however are equal and opposite and therefore, there is zero net force on the box. That's why it remains at rest, holding on Newton's third law.

F an object has a mass of 200 kg and a weight of 1000 N, what is g?
jeka94

Answer:

g = 5 m/s square

Explanation:

Weight(W), Mass(m), Gravity(g)

W = mg

1,000N = 200g

g = 1000/200

g = 5 m/s square

. Consider a fully extended arm that is rotating about the shoulder such that with a shoulder-to-hand length of 30 cm. If the ar
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

13.309 m/s²

Explanation:

Length from shoulder to hand, l = 30 cm = 0.3 m

initial velocity, u = 1 m/s

final velocity, v = 2.5 m/s

time, t = 3 s

Let the tangential acceleration is a.

by using first equation of motion

v = u + at

2.5 = 1 + 3 a

a = 0.5 m/s²

Let the centripetal acceleration is a'.

a' = v'²/l

a' = 2 x 2 / 0.3

a' = 13.3 m/s²

The tangential acceleration and the centripetal acceleration are both perpendicular to each other. So, the net acceleration is given by

A=\sqrt{a^{2}+a'^{2}}

A=\sqrt{0.5^{2}+13.3^{2}}

A = 13.309 m/s²
