Billy Bob and Bob Bob are standing on a plank that is 9.0 m long and has mass 100 kg, that has supports at the 2 m and 5 m marks

. Billy Bob has mass 50 kg and is standing on the far left side, while Bob Bob has mass 90 kg and is walking toward the far right side. Will he make it all the way to the end without tipping the plank?

Answer:

No he will not make it all the way

Explanation:

In the attached figure we can see the plank will turn only of the turning moment will be greater than the restoring moment.

balancing moment is created by weight of the plank which acts at the center of the plank thus we have

taking moments about the support A we have

Balancing moment = M_{balancing}=100\times 2.5\times 9.81=2452.5Nm

The disturbing moment created by bob equals

M_{disturbing 1}=50\times 2\times 9.81=981Nm

The maximum disturbing moment created by bob occurs when he is at the far left side equaling

M_{disturbing 2}=90\times 2\times 9.81=1765.8Nm

Thus the maximum disturbing moment is sum of the above 2 moments

M_{max}=1765.8+981=2746.8Nm which is highly greater than the stabling  moment thus he will not make it.

The angular speed can be solve using the formula:
w = v / r
where w is the angular speed
v is the linear velocity
r is the radius of the object

w = ( 5 m / s ) / ( 5 cm ) ( 1 m / 100 cm )
w = 100 per second

What is thermal energy?A hot potato at 100 ºF is placed in a bowl of soup at 80 ºF. The surrounding room is at 65ºF. Which corre
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1. Thermal Energy is the internal energy that is produced from the temperature of a heated substance/object.

2. From the potato to the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room

Explanation:

1. When an object or substance is heated it causes a rise in temperature which makes the atoms and molecules within the object move/vibrate faster and collide with each other. This kinetic energy energy comes from the temperature of the object being heated and is the thermal energy.

2. The atoms present in a hot object have higher kinetic energy when compared to a colder object and usually flow towards the colder object. This is why it is possible for the hot potato whose temperature is higher than the bowl of soup to flow towards the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room.

meriva

Answer:

1) i. All these technologies use radio waves, including high-frequency microwaves.

ii. Microwave ovens emit in the same frequency band as some wireless Internet devices.

2. B. The earth absorbs visible light and emits radiation with a longer wavelength.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are generated when there is an interference between electric and magnetic fields traveling at right angles to each other. All electromagnetic waves forms a spectrum with respect to their frequency and wavelength. The higher the wavelength, the lower the frequency.

All these waves move with the same and constant speed, but are generated from different sources. From the given applications, X-ray has a high frequency, but low wavelength.

In the second case, infrared waves have longer wavelength than visible light.
