Two masses hang below a massless meter stick. Mass 1 is located at the 10cm mark with a weight of 15kg, while mass 2 is located

at the 60cm mark with a weight of 30kg. At what point in between the two masses must the string be attached in order to balance the system?

Answer:43.33 cm mark

Explanation:

Given

mass 1 is located at the 10 cm mark with weight of 15 kg

mass 2 is located at 60 cm mark with weight of 30 kg

string should be attached between them to balance the system

so the distance between the the two masses is 50 cm

For system to be balance torque of both the weight must nullify each other

Let us suppose string is at a distance of x cm from 15 kg mass so 30 kg mass is at a distance of 50-x cm

Balancing torque

15\times x-30\times (50-x)

x=\frac{100}{3}=33.33

so string should be at a mark of 10+33.33=43.33 cm

Which of the following happens to an object in uniform circular motion?
podryga [215]

Answer:

As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... Accelerating objects are objects which are changing their velocity - either the speed (i.e., magnitude of the velocity vector) or the direction. An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed.

Calculate the average drift speed of electrons traveling through a copper wire with a crosssectional area of 80 mm2 when carryin
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2.8*10^{-5}ms^{-1}

Explanation:

The formula for the electron drift speed is given as follows,

u=I/nAq

where n is the number of of electrons per unit m³, q is the charge on an electron and A is the cross-sectional area of the copper wire and I is the current. We see that we already have A , q and I. The only thing left to calculate is the electron density n that is the number of electrons per unit volume.

Using the information provided in the question we can see that the number of moles of copper atoms in a cm³ of volume of the conductor is 8.93/63.5 molcm^{-3}. Converting this number to m³ using very elementary unit conversion we get 140384molm^{-3}. If we multiply this number by the Avagardo number which is the number of atoms per mol of any gas , we get the number of atoms per m³ which in this case is equal to the number of electron per m³ because one electron per atom of copper contribute to the current. So we get,

n=140384*6.02*10^{23} = 8.45*10^{28}electrons.m^{-3}

if we convert the area from mm³ to m³ we get A=80*10^{-6}m^{2}.So now that we have n, we plug in all the values of A ,I ,q and n into the main equation to obtain,

u=30/(8.45*10^{28}*80*10^{-6}*1.602*10^{-19})\\u=2.8*10^{-5}m.s^{-1}

which is our final answer.

What is the resistance of : A) A 1.70 m long copper wire that is 0.700 mm in diameter? B) A 20.0 cm long piece of carbon with a
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

(I). The resistance of the copper wire is 0.0742 Ω.

(II). The resistance of the carbon piece is 1.75 Ω.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of copper wire = 1.70 m

Diameter = 0.700 mm

Length of carbon piece = 20.0 cm

Cross section areaA = (2.00\times10^{-3})^2\ m

(I). We need to calculate the area of copper wire

Using formula of area

A=\pi r^2

A=3.14\times(\dfrac{0.700\times10^{-3}}{2})^2

We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Put the value into the formula

R=\dfrac{1.68\times10^{-8}\times1.70}{3.14\times(\dfrac{0.700\times10^{-3}}{2})^2}

R=0.0742\ \Omega

(II). We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Put the value into the formula

R=\dfrac{3.5\times10^{-5}\times20\times10^{-2}}{(2.00\times10^{-3})^2}

R=1.75\ \Omega

Hence, (I). The resistance of the copper wire is 0.0742 Ω.

(II). The resistance of the carbon piece is 1.75 Ω.

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.
