A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm

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.

Assuming a vertical trajectory with no drag, derive the applicable form of the rocket equation for this application
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The vertical trajectory is governed by Ordinary Differential Equation.

Time derivatives of each state variables.

d(d)/dt = v, d(m)/dt = -d(m-fuel)/dt, d(v)/dt = F/m.

Where V is velocity positive upwards, t is time, m is mass, m-fuel is fuel mass, F is Total force, positive upwards.

Therefore,

F = -mg - D + T, If V is positive and

F = -mg + D - T, If T is negative.

D is drag and the questions gave it as zero.

Explanation:

The two sign cases in derivative equations above are required because F is defined positive up, so the drag D and thrust T can subtract or add to F depending in the sign of V . In contrast, the gravity force contribution mg is always negative. In general, F will be some function of time, and may also depend on the characteristics of the particular rocket. For example, the T component of F will become zero after all the fuel is expended, after which point the rocket will be ballistic, with only the gravity force and the aerodynamic drag force being p

A spearfisher stands in shallow water and sees a fish a few feet in front of her. She throws her spear directly toward the posit
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish.

Explanation:

due to refraction of light coming from the fish the fish will appear slightly above from its real position

So due to this refraction the spearfisher will throw the spear directly at the image of the fish due to which it will not reach the position of fish but it will reach the position above the fish.

So here we can say that the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish

What is the anomalous expansivity of water
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. The density is maximum at 4 degree centigrade and decreases below that temperature as shown in graph.

Explanation:do you want me to explain it more??
