Answer: The diameter of the circular path is 2.96m

Explanation: centripetal acceleration = tangential speed^2 / radius of the circular path.

Centripetal acceleration = 2.7m/s^2

Tangential speed = 2.0m/s

Radius = 2.0^2 / 2.7 = 4/2.7

= 1.48m

Diameter = radius*2

= 1.48*2 = 2.96m.

A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm

Airida [17]

Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

$mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g$

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g

How is the surface area of an average person is 2m^2 in the chapter pressure

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

We have to show surface area $=2m^2$ ,with few conditions that is by considering Force $=200000\ N$ and Pressure $=100000\ Pa$ to be respectively.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is $=10^{5}\ Pa$ on Earth's surface.

The magnitude of the force exerted on a person by the atmosphere is $=2\times 10^{5}\N (or)\ 200kN\ (or)\ 20\ ton$ .

Now to calculate surface area we can find it from $pressure=\frac{force}{area}$ and re-arranging it to.

$area=\frac{force}{pressure}$

So plugging the values,

Surface area $=\frac{20000}{10000}=2\ m^{2}$

Hence from the above calculations we can say that surface area is $2m^2$ .

So the surface area of an average person can be said to have $2m^2$ , using the concept of pressure and force.

How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?

Rina8888 [55]

I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it. But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is:

(the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do. The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.
