Where is the fulcrum of a broom?

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.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Motors commonly contain a "commutator" which allows a magnetic field due to a loop of wire to always be in a say "clockwise or counterclockwise" direction even tho the loop of wire is rotating.

That means that magnetic field due to the surrounding magnets is always in the same direction, but the magnetic field due to the rotating   loop of wire is continually changing so that it will always oppose the surrounding field which remains in a constant direction.

This is most easily seen in a "DC - direct current motor".

Two cars are heading towards one another. Car A is moving with an acceleration of aA = 4 m/s2. Car B is moving with an accelerat
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Car B reaches car A in 19.7 s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the position of an object moving in a straight line at constant acceleration is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration

When both cars meet, their positions are the same. At the meeting point:

position of car A = position of car B

xA = xB

x0A + v0A · t + 1/2 · aA · t² = x0B + v0B · t + 1/2 · aB · t²

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where A is located. In that case x0A = 0 and x0B = 2900 m. Since both cars are initially at rest, v0A and v0B = 0. So, the equation gets reduced to this:

1/2 · aA · t² = x0B + 1/2 · aB · t²  

If we replace with the data we have and solve for t:

1/2 · 4 m/s² · t² = 2900 m - 1/2 · 11 m/s² · t²

2 m/s² · t² =  2900 m - 5.5 m/s² · t²

5.5 m/s² · t² + 2 m/s² · t² = 2900 m

7.5 m/s² · t² = 2900 m

t² = 2900 m / 7.5 m/s²

t = 19.7 s

Car B reaches car A in 19.7 s.

The crankshaft in a race car goes from rest to 3000 rpm in 2.0 s.
a_sh-v [17]
The equations are analogous to that for linear movement:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
acceleration = (3000 rpm - 0 rpm) / 2.0 s
a) acceleration = 1500 rpm/s or 25 rp(s^2)
For the displacement
displacement = initial velocity*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2
displacement = (0)*(2 s) + (0.5)(25 rps^2)*(2 s)^2
b) displacement = 50 revolutions

Andreas93 [3]
<span>First of all, the maximum speed occurs when the object passes through the
 equilibrium position

The kinetic energy when the object has this max speed is

K= 1/2 * mass * (1.25 m/s)^2

The potential energy in the spring when the speed is equal to zero

U= 1/2 * k * xmax^2

The maximun force of the spring is

mass*acceleration = k*xmax

m * 6.89 m/s2 = k * xmax
xmax = 6.89* m / k
