Where is the fulcrum of a broom?

2 answers:

8 0

It's one of your hands. Which one it is depends on how you sweep.

-- If you hold the top of the stick motionless and wave your bottom hand
back and forth, then your top hand is the fulcrum, and you're using the
broom as a Class-3 lever.

-- If you hold your bottom hand motionless and wiggle the top end of the
broom back and forth with your top hand, then your lower hand is the fulcrum,
and you're using the broom as a Class-1 lever.

A stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 19.9 m/s and at an angle of 39.9° above the horizonta

larisa [96]

Answer:

Part a)

$x = 15.76 m$

Part b)

$y = 7.94 m$

Part c)

$x = 26.16 m$

Part d)

$y = 7.49 m$

Part e)

$x = 83.23 m$

Part f)

$y = -75.6 m$

Explanation:

As we know that catapult is projected with speed 19.9 m/s

so here we have

$v_x = 19.9 cos39.9$

$v_x = 15.3 m/s$

similarly we have

$v_y = 19.9 sin39.9$

$v_y = 12.76 m/s$

Part a)

Horizontal displacement in 1.03 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(1.03)$

$x = 15.76 m$

Part b)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(1.03) - 4.9(1.03)^2$

$y = 7.94 m$

Part c)

Horizontal displacement in 1.71 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(1.71)$

$x = 26.16 m$

Part d)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(1.71) - 4.9(1.71)^2$

$y = 7.49 m$

Part e)

Horizontal displacement in 5.44 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(5.44)$

$x = 83.23 m$

Part f)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(5.44) - 4.9(5.44)^2$

$y = -75.6 m$

What affects the amount of potential energy stored in the magnetic field when a magnet is moved against a magnetic force?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer: Strength of magnet and distance from magnetic material

Explanation:

The potential energy of a magnet is determined by the strength of the magnet and the distance between a magnet and another magnet or a magnetic material. Magnetic materials are materials that would be attracted when brought close to a magnet, example of magnetic materials are most metals.
