Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g

Answer:

127 g

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of the metre stick.

50 g mass is placed on 90 cm mark is balance at 61.3 cm mark. Take moments about the 61.3 cm mark.

Anticlockwise torque = clock wise torque

m x (61.3 - 50) = 50 x (90 - 61.3)

m x 11.3 = 50 x 28.7

m = 127 g

Thus, the mass of the mere stick is 127 g.

If we have a new moon today, when we will have the next full moon?.
Sav [38]

29.5 days

It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).

If the distance between two objects decreased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them?
evablogger [386]

Answer: A- It would increase

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}  

Where:  

F is the module of the attraction force exerted between both objects

G is the universal gravitation constant.  

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both objects  

r is the distance between both objects

As we can see, the gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies or objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

In other words:

<h2>If we decrease the distance between both objects, the gravitational force between them will increase.  </h2>

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?
azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

A 100-kg running back runs at 5 m/s into a stationary linebacker. It takes 0.5 s for the running back to be completely stopped.
Elza [17]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

First, we need to find the deceleration of the running back, which is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 0 is his final velocity

u = 5 m/s is his initial velocity

t = 0.5 s is the time taken

Substituting, we have

a=\frac{0-5 m/s}{0.5 s}=-10 m/s^2

And now we can calculate the force exerted on the running back, by using Newton's second law:

F=ma=(100 kg)(-10 m/s^2)=-1000 N

so, the magnitude of the force is 1000 N.
