Answer:

a) It will be easier to apply all her force as far as possible from the axle

b) There is a net torque applied

Explanation:

a) Applying a larger force far away from the axle of the door produces a larger force on the torque than pushing it near the axle. This is because Increasing the lever arm between the axle and the point at which you push the door increases the torque on the door

b)The door is turning faster and faster because you are exerting a torque on it and its undergoing angular acceleration. There is a net torque which is the addition of the torque applied on the opposite sides of the door

A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.

An electric heater rated 500 W operates 24 hours/ day. what is the cost of energy to operate it for 20 days at Rs. 2.00 per kWh

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Rs. 480.00

Explanation:

1kW = 1000W

therefore 500W = 0.5kW

20 × 24hrs = 480hrs in total.

0.5kW × 480hrs = 240kWh

if rs. 2 for 1kWh
