Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From he question we are told that

The first mass is $m_1 = 0.42kg$

The second mass is $m_2 = 0.47kg$

From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

Therefore we can say that

$m_1 * 15cm = m_2 * xcm$

Making x the subject of the formula

$x = \frac{m_1 * 15}{m_2}$

$= \frac{0.42 * 15}{0.47}$

$x = 13.4 cm$

Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T on the string holding the bar where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged is as a result of the masses ( $m_1 + m_2$ )

Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where ( $m_1 +m_2$ ) and $m_3$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

So basically

$(m_1 + m_2 ) * 20 = m_3 * 30$

$(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 = 30 * m_3$

Making $m_3$ subject

$m_3 = \frac{(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 }{30 }$

$m_3 = 0.59 kg$

Suppose that an Egyptian farmer claims to have discovered a linen burial cloth used during Egypt's Middle Kingdom some 4000 year

enyata [817]

Answer:

the cloth is old by 1,844 years

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The half-life of C^(14) is 5730 years

Now

$\lambda$ =1.210 × 10^-4 years^(-1)

Now

$N(t) = Ce^{-\lambda\times t}$

$0.8 \times (N_0) = N_0 \times e^{-\lambda \times t}\\\\ln(0.8) = (-\lambda \times t)\\\\t = \frac{-(ln(0.8))}{\lambda}$

$\lambda$ = .000121,

so t = 1844 yrs

hence, the cloth is old by 1,844 years

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

$\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}$ x $\frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}$

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x $\frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}$

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x $\frac{16.76}{y}$ = k 2 x $\frac{25.5}{.3-y}$

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m

If a ball that is 10 meters above the ground is thrown horizontally at 5.51 meters per second. a. how long will it take for the

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

a. t = 1.43 s

b. d = 7.88 m

Explanation:

a. The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{f}$ : is the final height = -10 m

$y_{0}$ : is the initial height = 0

$v_{0_{y}}$ : is the initial speed in the vertical direction = 0

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

By solving the above equation for "t" we have:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{f}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*10 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s$

Hence, the ball will hit the ground in 1.43 s.

b. The distance in the horizontal direction can be found as follows:

$x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

Where:

x₀: is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (it is moving at constant speed)

$x_{f} = 5.51 m/s*1.43 s = 7.88 m$

Therefore, the ball will travel 7.88 m before it hits the ground.

I hope it helps you!

5. If the average velocity of a duck is zero in a given

Ronch [10]

If the average velocity of the duck is zero, it means that the duck's location at the end of the time interval was the same as at the beginning of the interval, but says nothing about the duck's motion during that time.
For instance, the duck could have waddled around in a circle 20 times; as long as it wound up at the starting point, the displacement and average velocity is zero.

Which of the following is responsible for preparing the body for defensive action? (2 points)

Flura [38]

Answer:

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for preparing the body for defensive action. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system, belongs to the parasympathetic, of the autonomic nervous system. Both systems have antagonistic functions. For example the sympathetic dilates the pupils and the parasympathetic, contracts them. In the case of the sympathetic nervous system, it prepares the body for situations of "fight or flight" before external stimuli.
