To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.
According to Newton's second law we have to
where,
m= mass
g = gravitational acceleration
For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.
We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.
In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,
Regarding the forces we have,
Re-arrange to find M,
Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg
1.8 is the mechanical advantage of the lever.
<h3>Definition of mechanical advantage</h3>
The theoretical mechanical advantage of a system is the ratio of the force that performs the useful work to the force applied, assuming there is no friction in the system.
The advantage gained by the use of a mechanism in transmitting force specifically the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.
Mechanical advantage is given by the ratio of the load lifted to the force applied to lift the load.
In this case, Mechanical advantage=L/E where L is the load and E is the effort applied.
Mechanical advantage= 90/50 =1.8
Question-you use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch. you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch with a force of 90 n. what is the mechanical advantage of the lever?

<h2>Answer: Light waves have a redshift due to the Doppler effect
</h2>
The astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the red (red shift), whereas the nearby galaxies showed a spectrum displaced to the blue.
From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. <u>The same happens with the stars and this phenomenom is known as the Doppler effect.
</u>
This phenomenon refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or wavelength=color) when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other. For example, as a star moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the red.
Answer:
Explanation:
The strengthcompassion field is proportional to the closeness of the field lines—more precisely, it is proportional to the number of lines per unit area perpendicular to the lines. The direction of the electric field is tangent to the field line at any point in space. Field lines can never cross. These pattern of lines, sometimes referred to as electric field lines, point in the direction that a positive test charge would accelerate if placed upon the line. As such, the lines are directed away from positively charged source charges and toward negatively charged source charges.
Rules for drawing electric field lines
1. Electric field lines are always drawn from High potential to
low potential.
2. Two electric field lines can never intersect each other.
3. The net electric field inside a Conductor is Zero.
4. Electric field line from a positive charge is drawn radially outwards and from a negative charge radially inwards.
5. The density of electric field lines tells the strength of the electric field at that region.
6. Electric field lines terminate Perpendicularly to the surface of a conductor.
A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it.
So, electric fields are vector quantity due to the fact any student can tell you that a compass is used to determine which direction is north.
Since the compass always point northward, then it has a direction and magnitude and so it is a vector quantity
The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has
1/2 (mass) (speed squared)
of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So
1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)
is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.
