Answer:

Explanation:

This looks like a momentum question. It also looks like there is no horizontal acceleration.

Momentum before Momentum after

m1vo (m1 + m2)*vo/3 multiply through by 3

3 m1*vo m1* vo + m2*vo subtract m1*vo from both sides

3m1*vo - m1*vo m2*vo

2m1*vo m2*vo Divide by vo

2m1 = m2

Conclusion: It takes 2 m1's to equal 1 m2.

B is the answer.

What is the net torque on the square plate, with sides 0.2 m, from each of the three forces? F1=18 N, F2=26 N, and F3=14 N. Use

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Side = 0.2 m

Force $F_{1}=18\ N$

Force $F_{2}=26\ N$

Force $F_{3}=14\ N$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₁

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}d_{1}$

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{1}=-18\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{1}=-1.8\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₂

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}d_{2}$

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{2}=26\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{2}=2.6\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₃

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{3}=F_{3}d_{3}$

$\tau_{3}=(F_{3}\sin45+F_{3}\cos45)\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{3}=0.1(14\sin45+14\cos45)$

$\tau_{3}=1.92\ N-m$

We need to calculate the net torque on the square plate

$\tau=\tau_{1}+\tau_{2}+\tau_{3}$

$\tau=-1.8+2.6+1.92$

$\tau=2.72\ N-m$

Hence, The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

The electric current in a wire is 1.5A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2s?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current is defined as the ratio of the quantity of charge flowing through a conductor to the time taken.

i.e I = $\frac{Q}{t}$ ...................(1)

It is measure in Amperes and can be measured in the laboratory by the use of an ammeter.

In the given question, I = 1.5A, t = 2s, find Q.

From equation 1,

Q = I × t

= 1.5 × 2

= 3.0 Coulombs

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.
